Found a kickass car I want and can't afford....cool.
« on: June 26, 2009, 01:27:18 AM »
A local, family owned and operated garage/dealership(used to work there too) always finds totally off the wall cars and trucks at auctions....This time around they've got a sweeeet 84 Toyota Supra.  It's got like 180k miles, but "it runs great".  It's the P-type with the fancy fiberglass body kit, and a fresh new white paint job.  It looks fantastic.  It has a sunroof, A/C, leather interior, all power options, and 5 speed manual.   Those Supra's all have fully independent suspension(designed by Lotus), and rear wheel drive with a limited slip diff.   

I didn't bother grabbing any pics of it....nothing really to see besides a mint looking white, 84 Supra.   :P   

They're asking 3500, and will take 1150 as a down payment, then 200 per month.  Pretty good deal I think.  I probably would have already bought it if I had the money, but I don't.  So if it's still there whenever I do have some money....what do you guys think?



Oh...and they have a less nice red one too.  Same year, with a slightly fancier body kit, and extra awesome GOLD Enkei wheels.  It's got a shitty cloth interior, and it's an auto...so I don't want it...just the wheels.   8)   Maybe I could get them to switch the wheels on them...and I'd have a super white Supra with gold wheels.  If that ain't baller....I don't know what is.....

Hrm, my brother has an 83 supra sitting right outside, totally flawless and original, and we'd probably be hard pressed to sell it for 3,500 but I don't know your area. That may be the going price around there for cars, you can find pretty much anything in San Diego.

I'd say if you're going to pay $3,500 hundo for it and it doesn't even have a low mileage engine or rebuilt, definitely get the wheels you want thrown in at NO extra cost. But then again, this is me coming from the car scene in San Diego. I could get an 84 supra for probably like $500 bucks around here and put a grand into it and have it all g'ed out. ;)


Oh and definitely don't get an auto supra, you'll kick yourself later.

What kind of bodykits do they have on them?

Around here, you don't really see much interesting stuff around.  And if you do, it ain't cheap.  I've literally NEVER seen an old Supra around before, and these guys have two of em.  The white one with 180k miles doesn't look thrashed at all, and toyota's are known for awesome reliability, so I'm not worried about the mileage on it.  And the bodykit on the white one is the factory setup I think.  The red one has some other kit on it, with a different front lip and hatch fiberglass.  It's a little aged and cracked though.  I don't know what the book value is on an old Supra, but I don't think 3500 is a bad price for it.  No body damage or rust.  Brand new paint.  No mechanical issues at all.

Sounds super clean, it's probably worth it in your area. A car is worth what you're willing to pay for it. Let's see some pics of this beauty.

Tell them to throw in the wheels you want though, because that's still highway robbery asking $3,500 for an 84 supra, no matter WHERE your area. I could get you one shipped there for less!

Unless it's got some crazy turbo setup and full suspension like some of the ones I've seen in SD. :D
