id be skeptical, for the body take it to a shop of yoru choice to get the frame checked, theyw ill telly ou if its been in a accident.

The paint, they might of jsut painted it, seems to be a shitty job if its different colours, they might of jsut sprayed over the old paint which iwll lead to flaking sooner or later.

Do a CARFAX report if you havnt??

the 5 speed thing, if it has the auto cluster than it was a manual most likely, CALL the DMV and see if they can tell what the car came with auto/manual, they may be able to search their computers etc.

Sounds like it might of been a rebuilt, i would say get an alignment see if it pulls cause i wouldnt touch it if it does..you never know

Fromt he advicve i got was, keep askign questions, maybe he will contradict himself, but if you dont have much time take it to a shop and get them to inspect it

ALSO GET A THIRD PARTY TO INSPECT IT, I got SGS to Inspect the car, they check it over and tes drive it, send you pictures thay take and give you a full report, it was worht the 99 bucks for me, gave me athird partys view of teh car, sellers will say anything to hype up their car

The car im looking at has been repainted, seller told me and has the paperwork from toyota that shows them painting it etc....it had small hail damage, but to take the dents out ig uess they repainted it....car has a clean title

what i ment by the hood being red was that under the hood was red and top was the color of the car meaning that its a replacement hood... now the only way they would need a replacement hood was if the car was damaged...anyways need some more opinions if possible

suprafann · 01-08-2006, 03:08 AM

i donno why they would need a new hood

so the top part of teh hood was say "gray" and the bottom red?

what was the original colour of teh car red?

i donno either seems like a car thats been repaired or just a crappy/lazy paint job

With what little you accually know about the car and what little the owner is telling you, steer clear of this car. There are plenty of Supras out there, dont buy the first one you find. Take your time and look. Thats what I did and I cant really complain. I looked at three Supras before I bought the one I have now, be patient, youre only helping yourself.
