It's a LHD TT Targa 6 speed 1998 with 60k or 100k miles on it.

He is asking 145 000 swedish kronor which is 20k dollars

Thanks

1) I'm 100% certain that this car would not be "worth nothing in the US". It's an Mkiv Supra Turbo - a very rare, imported high performance GT sportscar. The same way a Porsche or Ferrari with a mechanical issue would not be "worth nothing", neither would this vehicle.

2) With 82k miles (12k ~'BPU'), $20k USD seems quite high, given the mechanical issue. Until I know more (eg. compression/leakdown numbers for each cylinder, etc.), there's no way I can estimate how expensive the problem will be to fix.

3) The scoop on the hood was a factory-availble option in EU.

4) The 6spd conversion is very pricey. Are you sure you want to do this?

5) Can you translate the web page at the link you posted?

NB: Please consider posting any help requests in a new thread instead of asking me for help privately. About 99.9+% of the time, private help requests end up covering great information that could be very valuable to other forum members. If you have a good reason for needing the help request to be private, I'll consider it. If not, then why not give everyone else the opportunity to pitch in too, and/or learn from the information? Remember, there's no such thing as a dumb question. We're all here to help within this family of Supra owners.
