For what it's worth, I've seen well-maintained (bone stock) Mkiv TT's with over 200K miles, with no problems with the engine or the oem twins.

Phil
I appreciate your comment regarding turbo supras. I guess I am out of touch with the latest info. I am new to supra forum. I wish that I had found the forum years ago. I sent an e-mail to the moderator a day or two ago complementing on what a good forum it is, and very well run.

I also plan to use this car as a daily driver. Im not going to race it just want a sexy supra to drive daily thats why this low mileage supra appealed to me because I didnt want to worry about high mileage supras and repair costs.

that red supra is for sale down the street from me, i have the white one you may have seen floating around. i've talked to the guy, and driven it. 30 grand is NOT a good deal. if red is your only catch phrase then buy one and paint it YOUR RED because its basically a 98 SE (i like to say "Stripped Edition")

If I were in the market for a MK4 Supra, I would NOT spend $30,000 DOLLARS on it if it wasn't modified, ESPECIALLY if it wasn't a turbo!! They didn't cost much more than that brand new!! The turbo model was a little over 40 Grand. Correct me if i'm wrong...

Every one's thinking of the car in the wrong way. This will be a daily driver not a race car. this car is pretty much brand new and looks great plus its a supra lol just the name makes it special we all know that. $30,000? look around thats alot u could buy lease used M3 for that. But if u want a daily driver that looks sexy but can't back it up buy this car but u will get laughed at when u get ur ass kicked by a V6 stang.

The MK4 is a rarer car today than it was in the mid '90s. A low mileage, bone-stock MK4 tt easily goes for $30K+, just because it is so rare (only about 7000 were imported into the US, and at least half are in the junkyard or have been gutted to make racecars).

7,000 MK4'S IMPORTED TO THE US??!! How could that POSSIBLY be??!! DO YOU THINK THE BIGGEST SUPRA MEETS IN THE U.S - SUPRAS INVADE VEGAS AND SUPRAS INVADE TEXAS - WOULD HAVE SO MANY COME EVERY YEAR IF THERE WERE ONLY 7,000 OF THEM HERE?!
Check the for sale forum. See how many people are selling MK4 TURBOS FOR LESS THAN 30GRAND! They may not have low mileage, but you'd be surprised. But Ethan does have a point. You would get spanked by a V6 Mustang. Not if it was a turbo...but I digress. You should go ahead and get a used M3 or something else so u can look good in drive fast with low mileage, low maintenenance and be happy with it...because you're not going to race it obviously. That's what Supras were made for. The movies glorified it and made it more desirable, but they were made for racing. If you don't want that, IMHO it's not for you. If you REALLY wanted a Supra, You'd find a cheaper one and not care about the mileage nearly as much because you'd KNOW that it wouldn't matter because of the quality, reliability and potential. You'd KNOW more about the car and wouldn't want to baby it. You want a quick, reliable, good looking $30,000 low mileage coupe? Buy a used 350Z or a Mustang. |
