Warning you all, this is a long post, plz be patient
Im in the market for a mk3 supra. There are only 2 cars that im interested in thats within my area. One is a 1987 black 5speed n/a mk3 that has been sittin for 3yrs, hasnt been started in a yr and he is asking $300 for it. The frame is rust free and it has the usual rust around the wheel wells. and has a scratch that has begun to surface rust on roof. Nothing serious. Interior is good, the main problem is the car wont start and it leaks gas if the tank is more then half full.
My other option is my cousins 1988 n/a supra that he is sellin for 3,000. He is the only owner, has a rebuild engine with less then 20,000 miles, and pretty much has everythin you can buy for a supra, honestly the list is too long to put but the receits total to more then 8,000 of jus add-ons, The whole suspension system, shocks, springs, urethane bushings, Larger disc brakes, brake lines, larger calipers, spec2 clutch, high performance cams, high compression pistons, custom individual throttle bodies, headers, 3inch exhaust a nice sound system, nice rims, he really has a ton of work done to it so even though its n/a i beleive its worth 3,000 and he is again the only owner.
now i can purchase the $300 non running supra and work on it or purchase the 3,000 in perfect condition supra (but i would have to give him 1000 down and pay $500 a month until its paid off). Im a college student so i was really leanin towards the $300 supra and going turbo and in the end it would be about 3,000 for a turbo car. I also love workin on cars and want somethin that i can build and take pride in and say that i put it 2gether but then again my cousin supra does seem like a steal. What do you guys think?
