Hey, I'm looking to buy a Mk III

One thing you'll need to keep in mind while looking is that these cars are all about 20 years old, and not all have been taken good care of. $2000 will get you a Supra, but you're going to have to be careful when buying one, as it's very easy to get one and then shell out nearly as much or more than you paid for it just fixing the problems it's already got. It all depends on how diligent the previous owner was about doing required maintenance, and whether or not you have a regular amount of disposable income coming in to do the inevitable repairs and maintenance that goes along with buying an older vehicle.

MkIII's can be great cars, but they do tend to be something of money pits if you're not careful. Be prepared, do your homework on any car before you hand the money over.

GL to you in your hunt.
