Took me about 3 weeks to decide on mine. I had driven my 73 Celica for 14 years, and I decided after a 1800mile trip from NM to OR, that I wanted to get something more modern. I sold the Celica (got $2300 for her, and it was worth every penny). I started looking for new cars at that point. I had a short list of Supra, 3000GT, and Grand Prix GTP.
After another week of searching I was finding that I could get the Supra for less money than the other two, and I am just a Toyota fan, so I made the Supra my car of choice. I only wanted white, had to be Targa, and I preferred non-turbo.
Found an 86.5 on craigslist in Eugene (45miles south of me) and got the guy to send some extra pics of it. I decided to drive down and look at it. The guy was commuting from Roseburg to Eugene every day in it (about 100 miles round trip) so I knew the car had to be road worthy. There were a few things I would have preferred not to have to fix, (like a cracked windshield and it needed tires badly), but overall it was a solid car. the guy was asking $2400 and I offered him $2000 right on the spot.
I had to borrow my sister to get it home, but its been something of an obsession ever since.
