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.

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.

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.

Second Generation Toyota MR2 Turbo, Mid engined fun.

+1 on either a Ruckus or an teggy yea i know totally diff

[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.

Ruckus.

I would go for an Integra, they have pretty amazing handling for a fwd car. As long as you find one that wasn't owned by someone that shops from the JC Whitney catalog it would probably be a reliable car.

like what? what are your reccomendations?

Well if you were looking for something along the lines of the Supra then I would say look for a turbo Supra or turbo RX7. Rereading your post you say that you want a cheap DD so in that respect, I wouldn't look for anything like these cars for that. Are you set on RWD? Do you want low maintenance? For a quick but low maintenance car that you want to DD in that price range, I would be looking for a Honda Prelude or maybe a Celica. For 5k, you could get a pretty well sorted E30, possibly swapped, to DD also.

hahahahaha $7,500 N/A 80's Supra for your "daily driver"... so many things don't add up with that shit.
