The car has a BHG, hence the "needs head gasket." This means that from the get go you are going to have to get a new head gasket and that you are probably in for a rebuild. I personally would consider this somewhat high for a car with a BHG, but at the same time it is possible that the rest of the car is in perfect shape with a tonne of aftermarket parts. I would suggest going and looking at the car with your mechanically inclined friend. That way you will be able to check out the rest of the car and make a more informed decision. You can also check the FAQ board because I believe there is a "What to look for when buying a Supra" thread.

What ^ he said.

With a BHG, you are looking at a weekends work, plus about 100 bucks for a new HG and probably another 100 in other gaskets and misc stuff needed. Sounds a little high to me, but if the body and paint and interior are in perfect shape, it may not be too bad.

yea i would want to get a mhg and arp bolts so those alone will be around 170 not including labor... so i think ill just go look at it see if he would come down to around 2500 if not ill just wait
