buying an 1987 supra turbo

Macks · 06-01-2005, 12:27 AM

I found a used 87 supra with 90k on the body and turbo, apparently the dude bought a new motor for it, has a new core from california or something, only 2 thousand miles on the new rebuild. Its a standard and the guy said he wanted to get 5 grand for it cause of all the work he recently put into it, body is perfect with no rust and he said it was undercoated and shit. I dont know a lot about supras specifically, but I do know a good amount about car/engine repair and stuff. I was wondering if anyone could tell me some common problems I might look for, and some good specific questions I can ask this guy so that I can tell if I should more seriously consider buying this rig.
Thank you, Max
