Hello, the year or generation would be good to know. By "TT" do you mean twin-turbo or targa top? Is this '93 or earlier or '93.5 or later?

Ah, ok, it's a MKIV (4th Generation) I'll move this to the MKIV section as you'll get more specific responses there.

As long as its in good condition and hasnt been beatin on they will last forever and are great cars, 2jz one of the best built engines ever. You can use this car as a daily driver and still have it beating porsches and corvettes.

Is it a 6 speed? find out the history on the vehicle and who did the work on it as well as if the car sits for a few days and you turn it on do the turbos smoke at all, (white coming out of exhaust) as well as have any noises or anything your not sure about checked out, and dont use cheap parts or oils, especially oils. Other wise they are great cars and if you take care of them they will take care of you
