Okay so I've been eye balling this supra for about 2 years now and it's just sitting there! I remember one time it was jacked up in the rear and then bam right back on the floor... It's an 86-88 style TURBO :) and for what it is this car is clean but the old bastard won't sell it!! I've asked time after time weeks and even months apart.

I went again tonight since I have my 7mge and I'm craving some boost and still no luck. I'd even asked what amount of money $1500, $1800, $2200? He's like nah I'll keep it..... DAMMIT! lol

Should I continue my pursuit every couple weeks or so? Hell idk even know if it runs but I'm sure it does might need some tlc

Give him your number, and tell him that if he ever wants to sell it, to please call you first. Otherwise, leave the dude alone. Personally I'd choke you. :)

There are plenty of MKIII Turbo's out there for sale - just find another one.

There is a accountant with a silver mk4 in NM with my number. Why an accountant? cautious and observant would wager that he's a safe driver.

OP why wait 2 years and miss out on all that driving pleasure.:love:

What he said^^^ cuz the more you bug him, the more his going to know that his supra is going to be worth a lot of $$$$$ then when he really want's to sell it to you or anybody else he is going to ask for a lot of $$$$$.

Or maybe it means a lot to the guy, he has his reasons.

I'd beat someone with a lead pipe if they kept badgering me about selling one of my cars.

Take a moment to think about that. Lead. Pipe.

Yeah but its just wasting away there like the other 4 vehicles he has! It's the old people that suffered through the depression that do this crap, they just hoard stuff! ugh

But yeah I tihnk I'd make the visits farther apart so not to really bother.. If not I'll just keep looking and find another project lol

Think about that... wasting away.

Why lead? Why not iron? Or a thick aluminum pipe?

Velocity squared and all. Think about that ;)

Because when I bash someone's head in, I want to melt the evidence away, and turn it into bullets and fishing sinkers. ;)

Rolled up towel wet the end and a quick snap to the nuts should discourage them enough to back the fuck off and leave me be :: IJ. ::

You can't get that car that way. Guy around the block from me has a corolla GT-S mint stock Toyota maintained. I want it, but he won't sell it. Lowballing the old guy adds insult to injury. If you really want it, walk up to him with 2X your highest offer in cash. Pay to play
