If I'm patient, I can justify waiting longer, saving up and putting $30k down for one that has 30-40,000 miles, which would make me feel like I'm still buying a new car..But that's where I'm torn, it does look in great shape and it is a good price for the TT..sooo are the miles really that big a deal!? it's an 7 hour drive north if I wanna check it out..

For a '94, 89K miles is LOW. I've seen more than one well-maintained Mkiv Supra Turbo go single-turbo at higher mileage than that, and put out 700rwhp reliably with no issues whatsoever.

That car won't be around long. If it's still available, put cash (not a check!) in a briefcase, get on a plane, and buy it if it checks out. You may already be far too late if it's legit.

Oh, and a hard-top is more desireable: it's more rare, and as you said the lower curb weight makes it a better (GT) sportscar.

Best case, find a local Mkiv Supra Turbo owner that can take it for a test-drive. That way, you'll have an objective, well-informed opinion about the performance, handling, and all of the specific the sounds it makes during the test drive (turbos, transmission, etc.). If possible, find a local shop with extensive Mkiv Supra Turbo experience, and pay them to give it a complete once-over. At the very least, pay your choice of a local Toyota dealership to check it out. It's critical that you get an qualified, objective third party to provide input.

It has a car fax, so that's a plus too, I'm basically jumping all over it, I offered $11k down and have been working on getting everything squared away. I've been busy trying to figure out the best way of going about it, but great advice!! And thank you much for the help. I am going to try to find a local dealership there or import shop possibly that can give me a full inspection! I keep ya informed, and I still want to follow up on our bpu discussion.
