I got lucky! The guy just did a JDM swap and coudn't figure out why it ran like shit. I picked it up for $2000.00 and it had a Greddy ProspecII EBC, a HKS FCD, 3"Coolease Downpipe, 3" exaust all the way back, nice (Apexi??) coffe can tip, Blitz BOV, Walbro 225 fuel pump, Triple pods with Autometer guages, and low miles engine, and tranny. Its a 91 turbo targa auto. The A/C even works! No rust either. :) I wouldn't take 4K for mine!

What are you looking at NA's for anyways? :)

I'm not just looking at NAs, there is literally one turbo Supra under ten grand for sale within 200mi of me (at least listed on the web, I know there aren't any in my county or in any dealerships 30 miles north up the highway, either), and it's seven grand. Admittedly, it is nice, but it's almost two grand over what a bank would loan for it.

Not true. Take for example my situation, I could afford up to $150 in car payments a month, or I could save a little under 200 a month. Car loan vs waiting almost another whole year. And after that whole year I could maybe afford a shitty NA. Supras are very rare in my area.

if you NEED a car, you can't always wait...

Exactly. My current car is about to take a shit on me, I'm looking very hard for a Supra to replace it, otherwise I'm going to have to get an old 5.0 or TA, and even those require some travel

At this point I don't even really care if it's good. Cheap and decent are the main things, I can make it good =]

If your current car is taking a shit.. think about what a supra will do.

My current car that has almost 300k on it? lol

The tranny is going out, I'm burning oil, the headlights are FUBAR and almost useless and the body is rusting out. The car isn't worth any of the parts to fix it, it's literally totaled already, as new headlights alone run over the value of the car :thumbsdow

If shit starts breaking on a Supra, at least the car is worth the time and effort and $$ to fix it

Don't kid yourself. Pay more up front for a nicer car than buying a not as nice car and paying more in the long run fixing things.
