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

Just wait it out man, there's a bunch of N/A on ksl, but if you just wait the right supra will come around. I waited for about a year and found a steal on my current supra. Getting a clean body with nice paint with save you a major headache though.

Good to see another Utah member. Hah.

There's 2 of us out here in Tooele, haven't really seen any anywhere else, a few in Salt Lake. If you're looking to do it right don't get a 7mge unless you're planning for a jz swap in the near future.

 

[frythan]

I would love to do a 2jz in it. That would get pretty pricey though. Heh

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

Yeah it's a pricey swap. If you're not really looking for the speed but more of the looks for the mk3, that one would be a good pick, looks clean. Just depends on what you're looking for and what your future plans are.

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 with some power. And I'm really friggin picky about my cars. Especially because of how tall I am, I can't fit in a lot.

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.

1993 N/A 250k miles for $8900
Needs new radiator, radiator support, fan, headlight, hood, fender, and rear bumper. Salvaged title.
Not local thought.

$8900 is not a steal for a salvaged N/A MKIV that still needs that much work. They don't bring much more than 10K in good shape with clean title.

Love the hatch on the original link

That MKIV sounds like a horrible deal. You'd be better off buying a clean title SC300 for half the price and half the mileage.

Also, for $4500 a MA70 better have a stockish 1JZ-GTE or a rebuilt 7M-GTE in it. Fair asking price for that N/A '88 with 200k ODO would probably be $2500 at best.

the n/a 87 I bought had ~220k miles on it, 2 owners was super clean other than some paint coming off the front fascia and a BRAND NEW ENGINE $2,000

Word, I bought a rebuilt 7M-GE '91 5 speed factory sunroof for $2000 two years ago. 129,000 ODO, no rust, just a couple of dents, and faded clear coat.

OP: Find a close friend with a set of wheels, pay for his gas, and go on a roadtrip for a car that's not 100% over priced. Also consider saving your money for a 1JZ/2JZ swapped car.

Yeah like mine lol

 

[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.

2JZ over 1JZ. I want a window sticker that says "3 liter Honda eater"

I offered it up there but apparently it is too far for you.

 

[frythan]

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.
