wondering what to buy

this thread could either be really bad or either really good. i am about to sell my celica and will have around $10,000.
just wondering what people think i should buy... now the corolla boys will say get a corolla....the celica boys will say get a celica....and the supra boys will say get a supra.
what do people think i should get, it must be prefferably turbo and have new age features ie electric shit and maybe leather interior.

I'd suggest putting the $10,000 into the RA28  get some electric shit for it, plus by the sounds of your signature its already turbo !

ive had enough of spending money on my celica, ive spent oh so much on it already. no offence there is only so far a celica can go. you catch my drift. celicas are nice as and if i could i'd keep mine and spend shitloads more on it but its just not what i want to do.

Have you considered Cressida, Crown or Soarer.
Turbo, electrics.

I love '86s but I reckon the older Soarers (GZ20) are the bomb. Cheap(ish), too. Fits your reqmts nicly.

I have a Celica but for $10K and you want electrics, cow and maybe a turbo, get a 15 year old 1989 Lexus LS400 second hand import from Japan. They can be bought for about $9000 and you will have instant pimping credibility ! What is an oxy-moron ? 
Otherwise look at a MZ or GZ20 Soarer.
Cheers,
Mitch.

You could get a mkIII supra for that (import) my brother is about to get his
quick spec.
1989 Black aerotop MA70 Supra.
Leather interior.
Digital Dash.
the legendary 7M-GTE 90,000km's
Air, Zorst,
or you could possibly pick up a Cressi with a 1J in it for a nice sleeper for around that.

I would add an extra 2k to the sum and buy a jzz30 soarer, its turbo, features tons of electric shit for u to play with, and when you dump it on rims with a decent zorst thats all that need to be done with it. No need trying to work the car, its got the motor for power, but lets face it cars that heavy were never ment to hammer.

i know its not a toyota. but by the sounds of it you want some with some squirt so why not a series V RX7. as they are a 15 year import now these can be had for the money you are talking. great bamg for your buck. just a thought.

either that or a s13 if you look around you can get a 2 ltr one for under 10k private sale

shit there are so many options.... ive also been thinking about a hilux and bagging it, would be pretty trick. think the supra would be best, i would look for a rotor but my mate has one.
what does the old lexus look like? maybe i'm confused but ive never seen one.

Get an AW11! you could pick up a 4agze version for your price range (or even a few grand cheaper, like me  )and they have power everythin, and they r super quick. (those soarers are to heavy to go anywhere fast)

hey. get a BMW 635csi,
i went and had a look at one for $7500 at a dealer. the body was perfect but needed a wash and polish (gloss black) the dash was cracked and looking pretty shitty, but it had tan leather int, power everthing, 5 speed close ratio box, all the syncros were worn out and the engine probably needed a tune aswell so i wasnt expecting much go from it but damn i was suprised by its power!!!!
3.5 litre n/a straight 6. it think it had been chipped asewll.
i just reckon these look sweet when lowered on big BBS rims, you'll be driving in style aswell
(sorry for not plugging another toyota here, i just wanted to mention something different)

BMW sounds like a good option if you want some luxury and power, and if you find one with a blown engine it could make a candidate for a 1j/2j converstion.
