New guy here, just wanting to know a few things. I'm planning on getting a supra mkiii next summer, and my budget is $7000. What are the pros and cons plus i'm looking at getting a supra with a turbo. I know a good amount about supras, my dad used to have one but that was along time ago. Also interested in any sales of supra mkiii's. thanks

You can get a very nice mk3 with pretty low miles for 7k. Or if you wana spend around 5k you can get a pretty nice one that wont need much work, and get some new wheels, exhaust, whatever you want. If you get a turbo make sure it hasnt been modded. And try to find one with a redone HG or a MHG. And come to think of it, Mine will be for sale next summer if yout interested

haha

thanks. i'm actually looking for a 5-speed though, sorry. dum question but what do you mean by MHG?

metal head gasket on the engine probably most important mod on supras because its a common problem

your best bet is to find a supra with a MHG already done

they r pretty expensive...

HKS metal ones range from $99-$300ish depending on the type and thickness. Then you are better off to buy ARP bolts or studs depending on what power you are planning to put into it.

thanks for the advice so far, i'm trying to get my mind to go from jeep mentality to supra. Any more advice would be appreciated. thanks

Get an 89 or newer with low miles and no rust. Shouldn't be a problem for $7k.
