One other consideration - daily-drive your n/a Mkiv unmodified, and save up the $$$ to trade for a TT. By the time you upgrade the turbo, and the brakes, and the transmission, and the differential, and the electronics, and the rims, and the suspension, etc., etc., etc., you'll more than pay for the difference beween the two vehicles. Do the math and you'll see for yourself...

Considering going back to driving my honda lol and just trying to sell this one for a little more then I got it for, i got a good deal from a long time friend. & he needed some cash now for his new daughter and that was just a weekend cruiser. so i'm considering just saving to buy a low mile TT in the future that has everything I want, (targa, and auto)

Glad you wrote that buying the exact Supra you really want (i.e. a TT) is still an option. However, I hope you don't mind if I remind you that if you're going to autocross, you'll be faster with a 6spd. 100% for sure. Roadracing too. The only thing an auto is usually faster for is drag racing.

I haven't helped anyone purchase a Supra within the past few months, but if things are anything like they were (or worse), you have to use every national web site and car selling publication to find a Supra in great condition for sale. It's a very rare car, as you probably know. I know several people that literally had a suitcase full of cash, ready to hop on a plane to be the first to a seller. Of course, you still need to get it checked out by an *objective* person that's knowledgeable in the Mkiv, including a test drive....but if it passes all the tests you may need to be ready to pay on the spot. I even know of some sellers that would only sell to someone that *really* wanted a Supra, and that wasn't just buying it as an investment! They actually sold it for less than they could have, as long as the new owner was someone that would take care of it and appreciate it.

Good luck with your search, and again...please keep us informed.
