I got my one owner 90 auto turbo targa leather with 100,000 original miles for 4,000 it was in good shape, had a BHG but I got a motor at a good price, and its holding up well so far so hopefully it continues, if something happens I'll go 1JZ, I like the 7M but it is a pain sometimes.
i'm just happy that mk3's break as willingly as they do, because those people you talk about buying the beat up n/a's because they're cheap... well, you won't have to put up w/ em for long

I agree with Aaron. 90% of the MKIII's out there are pure garbage.
Not many realized they existed at all or what they are.
To collectors/enthusiasts a clean one is worth a some decent money. but to everyone else its a 15-20 year old car. Nothing more
Will they go up in value?
... sure, as most any durable goods do.
I'm happy to see the trend turning towards an appreciation for well-done mod's on the muscle-cars that are bringing big bucks at auction these days ... if that trend continues, we'll be better off.
But I'm willing to bet that MkIII Supra's will never command big enough resale dollars to recoup all the money we generally put into them.
Somehow I doubt that any of us are much worried about resale when we're installing fuel systems, piggybacks, coilovers and such !!

clean mk3s are hard to come by. I kick my self every time for screwing up what was one of the cleanest mk3s I had seen. I had bought a 92 turbo black on black , mint condition, 54,000 original miles. I was in $11,000 for the car, lost job, blew up motor and then lost the car. That was in 2000 and I was 21 and over my head with car and other stuff then.
Today I would love to have another in that condition so I guesss ill just have to whip my 89 into shape. I think mk3s will gain value among enthusiast as time goes by and the nice ones are far and few between. I would give 10 -15,000 for one in the condition that my 92 was in for sure.

WEll then I guess mine will be a good example of what the value of a stock MKIII will do over time. I plan on keeping it stock. It is just my preference in keeping things as they were originally designed, no matter what limitations may have been accepted at the time of manufacture. I'm the same way with my MKII. So, what do you guys think mine would go for?? Here is a link to a recent post with pics...

Soup, you just ain't right. Did my wife tell you I was retarded or did you just figure it out from all of my posts. It's hard to hide ignorance. I will say this has been a great month for me though. I won ROTM and saved the world all in one week. Yeah me!!!!!!!!.........................lol
The only MKIIIs that are getting decent money are the clean ones. the overwhelming number of people with beaters is making the few clean cars that much rarer.

At first I tried to have the main character Jay as normal, but it just seemed to work best with the storyline if he were retarted!!!!
As far as the value of our cars!!! I have no intention of selling mine. I already tried once, and when the guy came to pick up the car money in hand I couldnt do it. Way to much time,$, and emotion envolved. I did not buy my car because I thought I was buying a collectable. I bought it because in my opinion no other car compares. If the value goes up great!!! If its worth .23 cents and a case of schlitz thats fine by me also.
Jay: LOL I'd part my car long before I'd consider selling it as a whole as it's a total pig and as a car not worth a much at all
I'm going to pretend I didn't read that your car isn't worth much at all. You could probably never sell it for what you have in it, but there are alot of members on her, myself included, that would give their right nut for your car. I don't even need mine anymore. Lance Armstrong said one nut is all you need. Sorry for the rambling.
For the record, let's never mention parting your car out again...............lol

yep, SH is right. hell id give both my nuts and my scrotom for your car.
oh and ya i think the value will go up on our cars as long as we dont see an mkv supra come out.

There once was a day when you could pick up a black 4 speed hemi cuda for 2700.00 I know this cause one sat next to the 70 charger I bought for 1600.00. Then as time went on young guns like me bought and drove many many of these plentiful (far more plentiful than all the supras put together) cars into early graves. Today 30 years later that stinking cuda I couldnt afford is worth more than a house. So in Supra world as time goes on and more and more of you young folks buy, drive and run into early graves our beloved supras, the day will come when our supras are worth what a house is. So until then another 10 years or so from now, keep em cherry, running and kicking butt cause one day many many people will know she's a classic and will want her BAD.
