Opinions on a 88' Supra?

[ak-]

Ruckus.

[Will_318i]

there are only two real downfalls to that Supra...

1. Gas mileage is not great (especially since you are going to use it as a daily)
2. it's not a turbo.

For the $5k, I would try and look for something better on gas.

Second Generation Toyota MR2 Turbo, Mid engined fun.

Kinda cool, but I wouldn't get it unless it was more like $1500. I can see the appeal, but MKIIIs are boats.

SW20 MR2s are awesome and super fun as long as you don't mind a seriously cramped engine bay. The 3SGTE is a good motor, too. However I'd be weary when buying one.

98 Camry. I know this is a car enthusiast forum, but it does not sound like you want to make the right decision. The v-6 Camry is most likely faster than this non-turbo Supra you are looking at anyways. What's this thing you have with low miles anyways? I'm sure a Toyota with 30k is going to have more problems from sitting than one in the 100k range. Car's don't like to sit.

Why you want a car with an ANEMIC straight six and is HEAVY as hell is beyond me, but if it floats your boat.

<200 HP and 3700lbs sounds like a RIOT.

DD means good on gas and is reliable. I don't see rotaries being all that reliable or "cheap" to maintain. That v6 camry is a good idea. A TDI jetta is really good on gas, but I'm not to fond of how reliable it is. 45mpg FTW

1500 dollar 92 Accord, blow savings on E30. Those Supras are boat anchors and then some for sure.

an FC rx7 gets about 27-28mpg while cruising. thats not bad at all. it'll do 2500rpms at highway speeds. good gearing.

the fc is far more reliable than the fd. its not a v6 camry though. but i'd shoot myself before owning a fwd econobox. hating myself everytime i step into my car is not worth it.

+1 for a mid nineties turbo mr2. those are great cars!
