Fair price?, & a couple other questions
 

Hey everyone, newbie here. I'm looking at an 89 Supra turbo and have a few questions. It's on 2nd owner, been garaged since day one, targa top, auto, TEMS suspension (what does that mean?) no body damage, etc. This thing is immaculate and everything works, he's asking $3450. Is this a fair price? Seems reasonable even though it does have 142K miles on it. The current owner has had it for 10 years and runs synthetic oil in the engine. He bought it with 89K miles. No, the head gasket has not been replaced, but I am aware of that issue. Do these cars come with a limited slip differential, how to check? Thanks for all your help in advance, and a great site! PS, turbo boosts to 1/2 way between the 8 and the line below that, I'm guessing 6psi so that is ok, right?

TEMS suspension means that you can choose between 2 setting, one giving you a stiffer setting for roads that curve alot, and the other that gives you a softer more confortable ride for regular streets. As far as the boost goes, sounds like it's an auto, mine does that too and that amount of boost is fine. Sounds like you are one of the lucky few that have found a CHERRY and I would try to talk him down to at least 3K if not less, but it's worth the price they are asking... but you could walk away with a sweet deal. I am almost possitive they came with a limited slip dif. Good luck!

Mine came with a LSD.


You can jack up the car and spin the rear tires. If one spins one way, and the other goes in reverse, I belive thats a working LSD.


Or you can spin 1 wheel and have a friend hold the other.
