How much do you have to spend on a car?
How much do you have to spend on maintenance / repairs / gas / insurance each month?
Supras are much more expensive to daily drive than most cars are, also you probably won't be satisfied with a n/a auto, I least I'm not.
And making them faster is also expensive and time consuming, so doing that to your only vehicle can be very difficult.
I don't know who or what the rentals are, but good luck with them/it.....
Ray.

I got around 4,000-5,000 right now i want try get car for around 2000-3500 and more money will be on the way, I also like the look of some of the celica's but I dont think they have as much power,

like sumbody already mentioned b4
supras are lifestyle cars, although not all of them, but most of them
will need tedious maintenance, especially the first time you get the car
trying to get it in perfect running condition, will be a pretty good challenge,

and can be time consuming, and it can consume you wallet too
but most of us already know this, and are willing to go thru the paces
to enjoy the benefits, of seeing, feeling, and driving what our hard work, equals to

hey
 
hey i know u wanna supra. who doesn't? but from other people's experiences, it's probably not an ideal and cost-efective first car ey. I know you prob won't wanna listen to me, but if you hold off a couple of years you'll appreciate it more.

If you get one now, your freshly licensed, inexperienced and probably dont have loads of cash around. IT'L drain your wallet from costs of keeping it, and probably a few speeding fines and mayB loss of licence. I know all this is negative, but its true. But if i were you I'd wait a couple of years and buy one (also prob a few years younger and easier to keep maintained).

anyway good luk.

alright thanks

marmlr339 01-20-2008 05:28 AM

ummm
 
dw. m 17 and i want one too. except im saving up for a 1998 model. so fair bit of money, but when i get it, it'll be worth the wait, because i'll have a TT '98 model (fairly new) and prob lower km's than an older version, anyway cya

marmlr339 01-20-2008 05:31 AM

oooh. and the parent's. they'l want u to have a slow-ass car. i tried my best for a 93 wrx (which i could actualy afford), but they sed no. and im glad cos wrx are way shotter than supra.

Jbone7 01-20-2008 06:29 AM

yea, my fucking rentals are all about the slow ass car, if i cant get somthing i want im just gona keep saving up cash, Just got a pizza delivery jobb and im driving there car so they btter hurry up and let me buy a tight car

how u guys feel about celicas? or a CRX

marmlr339 01-20-2008 10:11 AM

celica's...
 
are alright. but supra's are definitely better. CRX alright. hmmm if i were you, 'd prob just go for a low-profile first car. i got a underpowered 4cyl non-turbo lancer. stock as. cheap. so more money for next car. and it goes a bit fast.
reached 185 km/h. bout 115 mph. not too bad, just took a while to get to that . and i like playing around in it, if i had a fast first car i prob wuld have fuked it up / crashed it. i near;y crashed m lancer the other day, while doing a handbrakey corner lol.

anyway, my plan is to save up for another 18 months, and buy a 1998 fairly stock TT supra and get that to about 550hp. and lower it and put a body kit and few other little bits on it...
