    He dropped the listing price to $4,000 so he's definitely wanting it gone. It hasn't been a month. Would $3500 be too much?

    Looking at an '88 for sale...opinions?

    That's what I was thinking about as well...I just need to make sure I'll have a place to keep a shell though...currently living with parents still because I can't afford to get out by myself. And they're splitting and may sell the house. SO, that's my concern. This 88 seems clean enough in the...

    Just an expression. But if the guy responds I'm going to go look at the 88 tomorrow. Tell him I'll offer 3 because of the high miles and the (pretty high) possibility of the engine blowing. Then do a rebuild. Or save up for a 2JZ swap. If he doesn't, there's a 1990 with no engine that I may be...

    It is. Nobody I know would be willing to drive that far, and a plane ticket would cost me too much. An I can't get that much time off of work. I'm the only person in my position. Xbl GT: IK frythan

    It's just a matter of finding one. I'd much prefer a MKIII with a 2JZ swap over a built 7M. I'm half tempted to just start a Facebook page asking for donations to help me get a car. See how much people donate. Could be a fun project. Heh. Xbl GT: IK frythan

    One reason I kind of trust the supra is its been 1 owner for the past 23 years. So he bought it pretty new and took good care of it. I hate being broke.

    Looking at an '88 for sale...opinions?

    I'm just tired of driving around in a 4 cylinder. Heh. Well, a low powered one. I hate a 2000 Celica GT and had to sell it. Liked it, but it lacked power. Now driving around a ford fusion because the parents needed a car to drive when needed, neither can drive a stick. Now, I'm needing a manual...

    Hell I wish I could just drop 30k into a low miles MKIV, but I bet we all do. Xbl GT: IK frythan

    I would love to do a 2jz in it. That would get pretty pricey though. Heh Xbl GT: IK frythan

    I would prefer it turbo as well. Bit it's literally one of 3 running MKIII's in the state and the only one I really trust. The fact that he actually used grammar in his listing, actually talks about the vehicle, it seems less sketchy to me. And it's the closest. Xbl GT: IK frythan

    I saw a sick supra on supratraderonline I could probably get if its still available. If not, I'm gonna go for the supra. At least I hope. Xbl GT: IK frythan

    Looking at an '88 for sale...opinions?

    I'm not gonna lie your car sounds a LOT better. It's more to what I'm looking for anyways....haha. Is it a manual? I was looking at this one and a 2002 Celica GTS with the same miles and $200 bucks less. TRD kit. http://www.ksl.com/auto/listing/436623?ad_cid=1

    Looking at an '88 for sale...opinions?

    I was thinking of trying to talk him down to at least 3300...then when I get the loan, attempt for 5500 and use that extra cash towards a rebuild. And anything else. My buddy's dad has a shop in the same area. I'd take it to him for sure.

    http://www.ksl.com/auto/listing/404766?ad_cid=5 I'm only concerned because of the high price for the high miles....is it reasonable? Worth looking at? What SHOULD I be looking for? First Supra. Wanna do it right.

    2JZGTE MKIII Swap Info

    I'm thinking about getting a 1990 that has no engine and having a shop do the swap for me. Or getting a 1988 that has been kept up for 23 years. Or a Celica. GAH I can't decide.

    Coming to a conclusion...

    The fact that I'm picky will be the death of me. My absolute dream car could be priced half of its value, I could have cash in hand, and if it was at a Honda dealership I wouldn't buy it, simply because I would be helping to further the production of street legal lawn mowers. Xbl GT: IK frythan

    Coming to a conclusion...

    I'm debating it. When it comes to a car I'm gonna make last I'm VERY picky. I prefer liftback, and finding a manual even harder around here. I'm wondering if it would be better in the long run to buy this 1990 with no engine and just get a 2jzgte thrown in. Xbl GT: IK frythan
