Both of the top two look like they are pretty ragged out. The last one looks really good, but as Rob posted above, I think you could do much better here from a dedicated member with good guidance, for a lot less money.

If it were me, I'd put that money into your car, if the motor is decent. You know what to expect out of it. It has been said many times that most MKIII's usually need a head gasket within a couple of weeks of purchase. Be careful whatever you do.

+1, but the CEL is on. I would go check it out for the code.

It appears that the key is just on to show the stereo/dvd player. It has no oil pressure either. Checking codes is always a good idea though.

Well i have no idea how to check codes.

But i have talked to them all 2 of them have metal head gaskets. I need another one to drive while i work on mine cause working on the same car you drive daily is a pain lol

Only thing is i prefer a Stick and would also feel better if the car was paid off

You have yet to get your car running correctly and already looking for another supra? Turbo checking codes is easy and before you get ahead of yourself I'd recomend getting your car up too par! If anything I'd take that $3000 and buy a Honda civic as a daily driver so you don't have too drive the supra you have! That $3000 will fix alot of shit in your current car if you play your cards right! 99% of the supras have problems so now you'll have more problems you can't fix!

A metal headgasket doesn't mean the cars are worth a damn...keep that in mind!

What is your current Daily Driver?

$1,500 on a decent beater will let you spend the time and money on your Supra that it needs.

I think, I.M.O. the black car isn't that bad, I don't what the interior is like, but if all things considered equal, I don't think it's bad of a car,only because of the parts that it has, it's already all modded. It only needs paint, as far I can tell, Since I didn't see the interior. four grand on paint, plus the cost of the car would be about 7,000 dollors, the same as the red one. Already modded, paint done. But it is a "87"

The red one, all around better shape, but's not modded like the black one, but it does have a better start than the black one. Probaly better resale since it's a "91" reasonably low miles. best bang for the buck,,I think.

white one, clean, but not that clean, still needs paint.
Buy both the black and red one, transfer the hot parts over to the red one, sell the black one,...done!!
