Default hello all

My name is Capri and i live in H-town. I was actually thing of purchasing a 93-98 Supra and wanted to know what type of issues I may need to look for before buying. Also are there any for sale in h-town? I was actually thinking of buying a n/a and converting it. What would be the pros and cons of that? and what type of costs would be associated with it?

Hello Capri. Have you heard the expression 'beating a dead horse'? I'd kindly ask that you do a bit of research before asking the exact same questions that have already asked a bazillion times. In short, the answers are:
1) There are literally no major issues with a used, well maintained Mkiv Supra Turbo. Really.
2) Don't start with an n/a if you want a TT. Other than the chassis, it's a completely different car. If you want everything the TT offers, including the upgradeablity, the rock-solid tranny and diff, the suspension, the incredible braking system, etc., etc., it's a lot cheaper to just get a TT in the first place.

Much, much, much more detail on these questions is available within these forums if you do a simple search and/or browse through the FAQs. If you still have questions after you've done a bit of reading, I'll be more than happy to get into those details with you.

NB: Please consider posting any help requests in a new thread instead of asking me for help privately. About 99.9+% of the time, private help requests end up covering great information that could be very valuable to other forum members. If you have a good reason for needing the help request to be private, I'll consider it. If not, then why not give everyone else the opportunity to pitch in too, and/or learn from the information? Remember, there's no such thing as a dumb question. We're all here to help within this family of Supra owners.
