Why spend all that money on a downpayment, payments, extra insurance? Rebuild the Supra. For the money you would spend on the "stang" you could have a kick-ass Supra:naughty:

Your supra is an NA, why not try to save up for a 7MGTE motor and drop it in. Assuming the condition of you car is great. That worth a supra to save.

4.6L garbage. Personally love Ford, they keep me very busy ;) Would I trade my 87 n/a Supra for a 96 GT? No way, no how. Yeah, they're quick in a straight line, but that's all they are. I'm amazed at how the quality of American vehicles has dropped, and Ford is a good example. That car will have vacuum problems, coil problems, window motor, switch, and regulator problems. The automatics won't take much over stock torque and hp. The seats are better than the Camaro or T.A. of the same year, but no where near as comfortable as the Supra. Oh, and can't forget the classic "white out" head light look.
There's a lot more(the term "Blue Oval Disease" comes to mind). If I had to get a Mustang, the '88 to '90 LX with a standard would be my choice. Easily upgradeable, and parts are still pretty cheap.
