I need help deciding which is better deal?

[SupraKingz]

I've been looking at a few supras in my neighbourhood and there are two that are standing out for me but can't decide which is better deal so I need help.

1st one has all these mods:

1991 Toyota Supra TT Type R 131000 kms

1jz-gte motor
154 speed manual trans
HKS intake/power filer
TRUST front mount intercooler
TRUST oil cooler
HKS relocation kit
Koyo race rad
Greddy oil catch can
Turbosmart blow off valve
Sun ground kit
TRUST downpipe
3.5" cat back
HKS super drager muffler
HKS EVC
Tein na coilovers
Tein pillowball mounts
Cusco rear strut tower bar
Cusco front strut tower bar
bolt-in ^ point roll cage
stainless steel braided brake lines
Cusco brake master cylinder stopper
18" autostrada modena 18"x8.5" front 18"x9.5" rear
kumho ecsta supra 712 tires less then 500 kms
os giken twin plate clutch
trd lsd

And this one is asking 14 000$ but I'm gonna try and get him down to 12 000$

2nd one has this list of mods:

1992 JDM Supra TwinTurbo 2.5R

Jic coilovers
Workwheels
HKS fuel controller
Boost controller
Greddy exhaust
New rotors and pads
New clutch last month

And this one is asking 9000$ but its at a dealer so no lowering this price.

So i need help deciding if one of these is a better deal than the other because i'll be selling my 84 celica supra at 2000$ OBO and my 89 Supra Targa top for 6500$ OBO.

i'd say go for the second one. the first one has tons of mods and would be fun but also most likely came over from japan where it was bagged. the one at the dealership might be them trying to dump it though for 9000 so make sure you get it inspected somewhere other than the dealership. i paid 9500 for my usdm 92 and it was stock and it had a leaky headgasket.

Lose the thinking that you can't haggle with a dealer! Either he wants to sell the car or not. There won't be too many people walking in ready to drop that much on a 16 yr old car. If you let him know you are serious, and want to take it home TODAY, he'd be stupid to not knock off $500-1000 really easy.

 

[SupraKingz]

They both came from japan. So not too worried about that because gonna be opening the engine up in either vehicle and clean in right out and verify for any repairs needed or replacing.

I'm looking more at the 1st one because of all mods done to it already and there are only a few things i would change about it right away like the bov because its chipped here and there but not sure which i should be getting because i plan on eventually running closer to 600hp and would like to have bov to handle that.

 

[foreverpsycotic]

The 2nd one, BOV is negliglable, you won't be taking the twins anywhere near that, maybe a little more than 50-60% of it. If you are shooting for 600, get the one more stock, as all the other parts will not be used.

 

[cartel1_950]

well yeah they are both from japan but one was someones play car and one was someones weekend car. i'd opt for #2 but like you said if your gonna take it apart anyways why spend way more on those extra parts

 

[bluemkiii]

2nd one.

 

[supramk3man]

Agreed why pay for some one else parts when you might not need them. if you not going to stay twin, and it doesn't sound like you are. Take the car with the less beatting and is in better shape.

 

[ForcedTorque]

There aren't that many engine mods on that long list of mods on the first car. Most of what's there, you will keep. I'd almost say spend the extra cash, and get the mods that you put off until after you got your HP goal met. It'll save you work in the long run. there's not much you'd ditch, and you could sell what you didn't want.

 

[SupraKingz]

I agree with forcedtorque that the vast majority of the mods done are body and suspension mods which takes away a lot of work needing to be done suspension and body wise and plus it already has good rad and a decent front mount intercooler. And for power which turbo would you recommend i've been looking at the gt35r or the t60 but what would you guys recommend and from what site or company it's from thx for the help.

Try test driving both and see which one feels better. On paper I think the 2nd one is your best bet. Just because the other one has more mods doesn't make it better in the long run.
