hey

welcome to the forum

don't forget that 1986.5 supras are non turbo in north america and canada (northern hemisphere) i believe... so make sure there is a turbo attached when you are looking

how much is too much to pay lol.. i don't think you mentioned how much it was going for...
i would probly pay max bout 4k (for an absolutely mint perfect one)

around 800-3000 i think is average over there?

make sure you know the state the head gasket is in... if you aren't sure... start saving and buy a metal head gasket and arp head studs and for machine work... make sure she has oil in it when you and have a look at the car
just find out it's general history

good luck in buying the car and when you have one post pics up

mint mk3 turbo is definately alot more then 4k supra girl, you should see what some of them go for on ebay. and in the papers around here. Yeah
the 1986.5's are non turbo over here from the factory. My thought is that there is no reason you should go for a supra with a mint body if your planning on customizing completely to your specs, new paint colot etc... But don't get a body that is completeky shot either, if you can save a grand or two because one of the fenders is messed up, to me it would be worth it, then again i would buy any supra i can get my hands on no matter the condition.
