89 mk3 red. turbo?

[cry4me_sky]

hey guys, i need a quick hand. My buddy is looking at this supra on craigs list http://seattle.craigslist.org/see/car/701424917.html
im not sure whether its the 7mgte or 7mge because it doesn't say in the description. In the pictures you cant see the boost gauge because of the steering wheel and there is no turbo badge. But it does have a spoiler, which don't come on N/A's, right?

Why not just call/e-mail the seller and ask. That would be my first step. Or if your buddy is all that serious just drive out and look at the car, take it for a test drive, and look for anything wrong with it.

yeah he'll probably have to call first. The car is a couple of hours away from us and if its an n/a he probably won't want to take the trip. I'll have to tell him to call. I just thought maybe there was a supra guru who could spot whether its a turbo or not at a glance and save him the time.

Hi Mckay. It is a good looking car, and a good price. If he has his heart set on a turbo, I would tell him to wait. You should tell Tim to sign up here and take advantage of our cars for sale section.
