Hello to all. This is my first post. I recently sold my other car, and I have 8K in cash. I want to save 1K and use the other for a car. I am not new to turbo cars, but am new to Supras. Do you guys think the above car is worth it? The price is their sale price. They said they could go a couple hundred lower. Like 6700$ or so. The car is very nice and drives well. The only problems on the interior are the ripped shift knob and worn steering wheel. The e-brake does not work, but they said they would fix it. I need to use this as a daily driver, and I live in WI. My wife has a nice 4-door we use during the week, and this car would be driven year round on weekends. Please advise. I need to call the salesman back tomorrow. Would this car be reliable and still fun for years to come if I don't overly modify it? I also need to give my wife some peace of mind that this is a good idea. Sorry for the long post.

Legionnaire is right.Supras are great cars.They last forever as long as you keep up with them.It will last you damn near forever.Ive seen people beat the living hell out of their Supras like I did with my first one and they still ran pretty good.As far as the one for sale don't do it.Sure it's a nice car and everyone here will tell you great things about them but Im positive you can find another one in the same condition or a little bit better for less.Keep looking but ultimately its your check book.
