CAR 2

93 supra, automatic, twin-turbo, 170,000 miles (100,000 on tranny and engine), clean title, 1 owner, characol in colour, great condition (havnt seen 2 many pictures though), completely stock.asking 17,500 ill prolly offer 16,000

Car#2, assuming it's had proper & regular maintenance, compression #s are good, boosts well, drives smoothly, etc.

This is a no brainer. The turbo car willalways be more expensive and hold its value. The flipside to that car 2 will have more of a pronality of something malfunctioning becasue of the turbo kit. So its a hit and miss issue.

no its not off autotrader, plus i will be flying down their and checking it out beore any kind of payment, seller has agreed (owns his own dealership)

Well car 1 is outta the question, just because ir ather have sumthin thats already turbod, and i dont want to get sumthin with a salvage title, because you never know.

With car 2, before i buy it im going to take it to a toyota dealership and get it inspected, now with their 100 point inspections, do they check everything, compression tests, leak down test, whether the body is straight, mathcin vin# etc. Or is it more of a visialy look at say brakes, exhaust systeme etc?

I do plan on doing a signle turbo upgrade etc, with the automaic tranny will i loose a lot of power, like is it worth getting a auto supra, half the people say its a waste the other say go for it. I just wanna make sure that if i get teh auto i can still make it fast, and not have tuners saying you can go past 15psi cause the tranny will break etc
