Thinking about getting back into a Supra

the_stig · 06-26-2005, 01:37 AM

I owned a MKIII (1988) for about two years and 20,000 miles a few years back. I sold it and have missed it ever since. This fall I am going back to college to finish my degree and was looking to buy a nice reliable car to commute back and forth with. I wasn't thinking Supra at first, but today I just went and drive an 86.5 for fun and now I have to have another. Basically I sold mine (in descent condition) for $2300 back in the summer of 2003. Now, when I look at the ads for these things, I can't find a single car (non turbos!) for under $5,000 bucks! Have the prices gone up this much, or are most people just dreaming? Book values are shown around $2000-$4000 so for a non-turbo. I was thinking about spending $3000 for something nice but not perfect. What will three grand get me for a MKIII these days? Not much is what it looks like so far.
