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.

Not a bad price for a hard top. Does look to be idling a touch high however.

[jordisonjr]

Nice lookin' car.
But too high of km for my liking.
I don't think i'd buy something like this with over 80,000 km

[Box]

Only some 90,000 miles or so, little over 5,000 miles a year. That's more than appropriate, and for a reasonable price. I'd buy it in a heartbeat money provided. The only thing I don't like about it is the colour.

[Promasta]

meh 950 rpm idle
and white is best haha

too expensive for non-turbo. My car is worth more than that and i wouldnt even sell it that high

Supra must be cheaper in Canada than here in the states. You also can get the GT-4. More reasons to move...

My uncle has 2 colt .45s and an m16. Only ****ty part is we cant have fully automatic apparently.

Can't have fully automatic down here either, unless you go and get a bunch of licences and what not for them. Rather have cheaper Supras and GT-4 than guns. I don't like guns.

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?

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.

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.

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

[Box]

I know, I kind of gathered that from this thread. All of the MKIV Supras for around 11K, are either project cars, salvage titles, or a combination of the above. Like I said, I need to move.

OT But you can own full auto in the states and not need a licence, it just depends on the state you live in.

[kurt95gt]

Everything is legal anywhere.......till you get cought

[jordisonjr]

Are you keeping the celica. Or getting rid of it?

[Promasta]

And I'm telling you 11k is wayyyyy too much for a non-turbo supra

You mean its too much compared to what they sell for in Japan? Because they always sell for this price or more (looking on kijiji/autotrader).

Don't think i'm gonna get it anyways tho, my celica is in way better shape, probably just throw more money into it haha.

[Box]

Meh, just drop a BEAMS or 3S-GTE into the Celica then.

[richee3]

Browsing Kijiji, I found several hardtop auto's for ~$8k. But this one looks a little better than the others, and I definitely searched different regions of Canada.
