Buying a 1986.5 Supra

so what? Unless your going to use it for a driveway decoration. It sounds like a lot of mechanical problems to me. I've owned my 89 NA for over 2 years and have put almost no money into looks. I keep it clean and Armor All the interior every week and people tell me how nice the interior looks, but when we go for a drive they can't believe how it sounds with 135 thousand miles on it. I have put almost every penny into the engine or other mechanical fixes. Too me, that is what counts, keeping the thing running. If you have good mechanical skills, maybe you can bring that baby back to life. If not, it sounds like a whole bunch of headaches.
