My thoughts: Looks very clean, most of them for sale are riced out or automatic. Price seems right compared to others in central Canada, and its below blue book. I want NA for decent mileage and reliability, and can always turbo it down the road.

looking at all the na's on kijiji, the price doesn't seem bad. nice turbos sell for >20k around here.

anyways, 11k would be fine IF it was in great shape, but its not. There is a dent on the rear quarter panel and some paint transfer, the front lip is all ripped up, the inside of the headlight (mirrored part) is ****ed (not really noticeable), there is condensation in the turn light (looks horrible), the oh **** handle in the interior is broke, one of the speakers doesn't work. Has 255s on the front and back (and different brand tires) which is dumb (should be staggered), and therefore there is much more wheel gap in the front.

it was hard to get a good feel for the car because I was focusing on not crashing, driving rhd for the first time, and in rush hour in a strange city lol. but the ride seemed too bumpy for how it was handling (shocks could have been blown, but didn't seem like it). my celica is rough because of the coilovers, but at least its sharp and precise. Not really sure I want a bigger car now. Honestly, this na supra reminded me of a v6 mustang, which isn't good. It must have been faster than my celica but didn't really feel like it. Its still pretty sweet tho, rhd is fun, the stock seats and interior are just awesome, it shifts pretty nice.

I think he would take $9500. Then I could fix the dent, take the lip off completely, new turn lights, fix the oh **** handle and speaker, and get some lowering springs to fix the wheel gap. This should all cost what, like $1k?

Thoughts?

Its hard to repy to this cause i know how RHD cars work. And I'm telling you 11k is wayyyyy too much for a non-turbo supra. But if you really want it its always up to you right? Springs wouldnt be the only issue. You'd have to buy all four shocks too remember.

Fix the dent yourself, then a replacement handle and speaker won't cost any more than $100 I'd think. Lowering springs can be gotten for around $200 for some quality springs. Then if you install yourself save money. Turn lights shouldn't be too terribly much. Doing everything yourself I'd say under $500 probably. Should have enough to even get some new tires all for under $1,000. According to KBB an American should expect to pay $14,000 for one in similar shape. Provided everything is good aside from what you've noticed, I'd say go for it. Try and get it cheaper if you can. I know if it were me I'd jump all over it.

If you think 11k is cheap for a supra you'd be in for a surprise if you were here
