The most wear and tear would have occurred on the engine bearings of the Mkiv Supra you're planning to buy if it was ever run with an extremely low oil level, and/or if a very large shot of NO2 was installed and regularly used on the car. Suprafann, in addition to checking for other signs of poor maintenance, also be sure to check carefully for signs of NO2 installation (eg. a hole drilled, tapped & then plugged in the throttle body), as well as 'standard' bpu modifications, before you make your final offer to the seller.

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.
