AWWWW Hell to the yeah! Go for it.

2003GTS-R · 10/23/2009, 02:43 PM

I personally wouldn't go for it because its auto and its crashed.

Tx4Codeman · 10/23/2009, 02:46 PM

It's priced in your range now.. in an none drivable/broken state, or priced in your range to be able to pay to fix the car?

both.... i have enough to bring it back to its original state

finesse49ers · 10/23/2009, 02:53 PM

If you could afford it and all the things necessary to fix it to your liking then go for it. Personally I'd rather have a manual and would find out if a tranny conversion is possible and in my budget.

Oh ok. But what is your price range? you could try to find one that doesn't need so much work and possibly a manual.

The guy says it runs fine and it’s just cosmetic but it’s not drivable? "Needs cooler" as in intercooler?

Steveodotcom1 · 10/23/2009, 03:29 PM

It's a gaymatic.

Supra's are nice looking cars though.

davila825 · 10/23/2009, 03:33 PM

no headlights, bumper or fender, and no intercooler, pretty sure you would get pulled over right away for that

scarr · 10/23/2009, 03:53 PM

i personally don;t care what it is, 6300 hundred is a lot to pay for a wrecked car.

you need to ask yourself this:
if is all cosmetic and cheap to fix, why didn't he just fix it, and make MORE?

i mean look at it, there is not a straight panel on the car. everything has a dent, or fold or crinkle. when you are done, you will have replaced/repaired most of the body, and you don't want the tranny either so you need to figure out of 6300 is worth it to you for a: hopefully straight frame, and an engine that you know was beat (and probably needs rebuilt, people are nice to supras, they beat them.)

Supras are over rated and too expensive to mod. Keep looking.

tomsoutdoor · 10/23/2009, 04:15 PM

i owned a 91 single turbo targa,manual. a lot of fun but nothing like my 5.0 mustang! and i say you'll have 10k in it by the time your happy with it!
look and wait for a better deal,just my op.

Exactly.

The new GT-R is AUTO. Twin Clutch Six Speed Auto.
The Evo X MR is AUTO. Twin Clutch Sportronic Tranny, but still automatic.

I'd take a 91 Supra Turbo targa over a 5.0 any day...and if you had 10k in mods done to the Supra, you'd have one HELL of a street car that would give a lot of shit a run for it's money.

Steveodotcom1 · 10/23/2009, 04:35 PM

The automatic MKIV Supra that is shown is not a sportronic or a semi-manual, because of that I stated my opinion on automatic transmission cars.

Both of those are semi-manual, or sportronic, I don't mind the sportronic for which you can change gears on your discretion.

My buddy's Tibby (03-05??) was a sporty. He mentioned it would shift by itself once it got to a certain RPM's. I don't know if he was serious of full of it, just putting that out there.

OzzyGT · 10/23/2009, 04:47 PM

How come so many people still dont understand that Twin Clutch Transmissions are technically still a manual transmission ? They just don't use torque converters but use clutches that are operated by the computer instead your foot. Alot of people may still call it an automatic but it really isnt the same thing.

SlamminGT · 10/23/2009, 04:51 PM

You also gotta ask yourself what you would drive while you were working on the supra.

MandaMarie00 · 10/23/2009, 04:59 PM

I had an 87 single T Targa that I LOVED. I'm still kicking myself in the ass for selling it. I got it for $1100. I drove it for almost a year and the throw out bearing went then the electrical issues came, the wiring harness broke apart and they didn't make any new ones. Didn't have the money to fix it so I bought my 3G.

HIJACKER · 10/23/2009, 05:06 PM

Is this supposed to be a good deal? I seriously doubt you have the time, money, and resources to dedicate exclusively into this project while still having another reliable vehicle to drive on a regular basis. Even if you rebuilt the car, you're now sitting on a salvage title making it worthless AND with an automatic transmission (very undesirable).

Just curious - how old are you?

Doric · 10/23/2009, 05:25 PM

Ad says it currently has a clear title.

I'd buy this - I have the aforementioned resources - but I'd be very wary that there's more damage than is being listed.

...And I need another "toy" like I need a hole in the head.

actually they are fairly cheap to mod... they have so many clones of items its not even funny, and they have so many GOOD clones that they are just as good as the high end greddy stuff. friend has a IS300 which he mods and alot of the stuff fits on his car too... says that alot of clones for the supra are just as good as the real deal.

on the descprition its states CLEAR TITLE. and as far as time, money and resources that is not a problem. i have a good amount of money that i wil be able to sink into it. (didnt sink into the 3g because i really wouldnt get a return on it). and as far as resources i have a 05 chrysler i drive daily ( my eclipse is not a daily drive) as far as age i am 22 and currently working as a graphic designed (very good income is coming in regularly). i would not be asking this question if i had any dought I was not financialy able to do any of the mods.

davila825 · 10/23/2009, 06:39 PM

sorry repost

tomsoutdoor · 10/23/2009, 07:08 PM

i don't think you would lose any money,with the low miles and doing almost all the work yourself it probably would be worth twice that amount easily. i personally would not want a twin turbo auto,or any automatic unless it was for the dragstrip only.
good luck making up your mind on this one.

me too! if they both had that much money in them. i just think a V8 sounds better and offers more torque.

RIPCivic · 10/23/2009, 07:39 PM

So.. what's the retail on one of those?

kabob · 10/23/2009, 07:51 PM

Unless you have the skill, tools and shop space to do this yourself, I don't see how you could possibly come out ahead on this. And you'd still be the proud owner of a much-depreciated, automatic, previously-wrecked, 17-year-old Supra.

if that car was in showroom quality shape it would be worth 20k

so he would need to replace most of the body, straighten the frame (i am betting) replace the airbags, fix any little cracks...

essentially replace/repair/rebuild everything except the tranny (the motor would probably need rebuilt to get to the 20k price range). for less than 14k to make it worth 20k

So where exactly did you come up with 14k other than pulling a random number out of your ass? Did you start pulling the prices on various parts on an unknown repair project? If so, care to share that list - prices/estimates?

Honestly - this is the worst deal ever, but if you decide to do it - please post again a year or two from now and tell me I was wrong and that this was a fantastic idea and how much it worked out.

Bitter · 10/24/2009, 10:21 AM

for $6300 you can get a much much better car to start as a base to modify.

he's saying that the car in top shape would be worth 20k, and that the OP would need to be able to fix everything for 14k or less to come out even.

This.

How exactly did it get into the condition it's in right now? If it has a clear title more than likely whatever accident it was in wasn't reported. This thing could have the crap beat out of it and just when you think you've got it all up and road ready, stuff could start breaking down that you might've overlooked before hand.

WorldWind · 10/25/2009, 06:00 PM

You want a consensus of board members to share the responsibility of a possible bad decision with you?

LOL. Go to the texas mile and see what wins year after year. The styling of a 15 year old car is just amazing. Today they still catch my eye

YouTube - 243mph Boost Logic Supra, Texas Mile

If he can get this car for 5-6k and only dump another 10k max he will come out ahead

ABSOLUTELY! supra's are gorgeous and beastly..

Special_K · 10/26/2009, 11:05 PM

You realize a set of used supra headlights alone go for about 1200 bucks right? Between the front bumper, headlights, hood, fenders your prolly looking at close to 8000 bucks in parts and thats not including all the coolers, misc body work and anything else you may find. Best option is to find a whole Supra that is 15-20k and work from there.

LOL That's what I was trying to get across. OEM parts pull a premium and aftermarket parts require losing kidneys. Just like corvette parts, supra parts carry an added tax that usually doubles the price.

icemanrld19 · 10/27/2009, 07:20 PM

blah. If your going to put this car together im sure you know the right places to get deals on parts.

Silvertune · 10/27/2009, 09:51 PM

I'd only buy if the price were lowered of if I was made of money.

If you were made of money - you would not be shopping for a busted Supra trying to restore it to save a buck (which btw, isn't going to happen because you won't be saving shit on this project).

The price only looks attractive, because you have no clue what else is up with the car.

BTW, I didn't pay any attention, but did anyone post the number of miles that this car has on it?

EDIT: 77,000 miles. You could do one hell of a lot better for this car. This car would very quickly turn in to a money pit.

davila825 · 10/29/2009, 10:57 PM

wiseoracle · 11/20/2009, 03:55 PM

Why waste time and money to fix something like this? Unless you absolutely working on a project like this, I see no reason to do it.

Buy one used and a manual with less hassle.

Ultimately it's your decision.

keith6110 · 11/21/2009, 09:02 PM

fix that thing up!!! i would do it in a heartbeat. you know what the resale value of that car will be when your done? either you can keep it for yourself and resell it and come out on top. it probably has a bad title or whatever but it wont matter once it looks and runs good. Just my opinion

And you'd still be the proud owner of a much-depreciated, automatic, previously-wrecked, 17-year-old Supra.

LOL. Go to the texas mile and see what wins year after year. The styling of a 15 year old car is just amazing. Today they still catch my eye YouTube - 243mph Boost Logic Supra, Texas Mile If he can get this car for 5-6k and only dump another 10k max he will come out ahead

Between the front bumper, headlights, hood, fenders your prolly looking at close to 8000 bucks in parts and thats not including all the coolers, misc body work and anything else you may find. Best option is to find a whole Supra that is 15-20k and work from there. __________________ JIC Muellerized... Secsiness 2001 GT PP A/T 205whp/203wft-lbs *Tuned by LogicGate, Sponsored by Tearstone*

Unless you absolutely working on a project like this, I see no reason to do it. Buy one used and a manual with less hassle. Ultimately it's your decision.

Just my opinion __________________ 2004 eclipse gts motor swap
