need help! is this mkIII shady?
 
88 supra, targa, non-turbo, $2500.
The title is listed on autotrader as 'cosignment'.
He says there is nothing wrong with the car.
The dates on the 3 pictures show 2005, but he says in the description the dates are wrong.
I can count 15 other cars in the pictures. The name on the building matches the name advertised.
The dates say feb 3 and 4 of 05 but there is no snow, its gloomy, but no snow. The location is Verona, PA and i heard that its a bad neighborhood, and when is there not snow in PA in early feb?
When i called, he said that it was a 'mechanic's car,' i know what a mechanics special is, but i believe he meant that it was owned by a mechanic.

I did a carfax and its a little wierd.
-in 99 it got an EML title at a reported 146K miles.
-in 02 the title was updated and a new owner was reported 500 miles later.
-in 03 the title was updated and new owner reported, exempt from miles.
-in 05 the same thing was recorded,
-in 07 the same was recorded 366 days later.

the car can be found here

Here is one a little closer to you that is about the same price.

The phrase that its "mint condition" though with what look like plain black steel rims means its definately a used car salesman selling it.
1991 though is more desireable than the others and it might just be a turbo.
The drivers door looks loke its missing the door trim.

merryprankster 06-14-2007 08:24 PM

yeah i saw that one. a/t though.
im not picky, if i were to get an a/t, i might as well swap a 1jz in cause i hate automatics.
lol. and i dont have 3grand to spend on that.
why are the 91's desired?

f00g00 06-14-2007 08:54 PM

The bodys I think are better looking than the 87-88 supras especially the rear spoiler.

if you dont know, call the number and go look at it, best way to tell if its real or not

merryprankster 06-15-2007 03:54 AM

yeah i called them and everything seems good.
JT2MA70J1J0103759 is the vin,
i did a carfax and autocheck, and they were clean except the eml title which triggered an odometer warning.
