Every interior piece in my car is original some stuff shows its age like the speaker grills, arm rest, shift knob, and e-brake boot but everything still works and functions like it should.
If you're an mk3 owner: How do you respond when someone says, "It's just not a mk4"
- Thread starter Supra0089
- Start date
and everything in my interior looks just about brand new. not exaggerating. it proves that time is not the enemy. the enemy to wear and tear is abusive elements, be it weather/temperature/moisture/contaminents... or more human bourne, like physical damage due to carelessness or error. (spilling orange juice, smoking, sweating, hauling heavy boxes on your seats... etc.)
when I look at my Supra, inside and out, it almost seems as though I just drove it off the showroom floor in 2013. the point is... time (22 years in my case) does not cause damage. we do.

Me too! Very lucky the original owner kept it! Ironically the one time I bought a new car I DIDN'T get the sticker...
My interior, minus the dime-size crack on the dash, is immaculate. I'm just sad the previous owner chose to do a Maco paint job, cause its starting to be sandblasted off. Once she's repainted, I think I'll get my confidence back.

I wish I had my original window sticker
window stickers are awesome! 30+ grand back in the day...

i selected 89 and typed in 31k and the equivalent in todays money is around 58k. the cost and options list just further proves how much higher level the supra was to anything else for it's day.

It is pretty cool to have all of this stuff the previous owners kept every record of the car and I am continuing that by putting in receipts for whatever I do to the car such as repairs or window tint and alarm.

Agreed. Mine was 31K too. Even now in 2013, 31K will get you a really nice car. I can imagine how the folks buying these MKIII Supras 20+ years ago felt like they were spending a fortune!
I will scan mine and post it later. :thumbup:
Doat;1954914 said:
Yeah, that is a scan. It was maybe 5mm wider than my scanner so I had to make two scans and Photoshop it together. Then I made most of the VIN disappear in order to protect the innocent
Very jealous, I don't have that side piece yours has though! I wonder how much more expensive mine originally was now...
It really is cool to still have that piece of paper every time I hold I can imagine the first owner being very excited with a huge smile on his face and keeping every little thing that came with the car.
Wow 16 pages of insecurity and justification... why do you guys care so much what someone else thinks... :nono:
It's just a car
It's just a car

With the exception of having to give up the 928 a week earlier than expected and getting no window sticker I was pretty pumped when I went down to the dealership to pickup my S2000. (One and only new car purchase.) It was a good day, other than you have to take it easy on the engine for a while!
Did you get the Valet key and the key number plate with your Supra? I sadly don't have that, and never have gotten one with any used car I have ever owned
