Hey People, Im new here. My current driver is a 1982 Corona Import and it is pretty slow  . Ive now got some cash together and im in the market for an Mk3 Supra turbo manual.  Now can anyone give me some information about these cars, because i dont know jack... what do i need to look for when i inspect one? Fuel economy? etc etc.
Just been checking out RIGO's supra and, damn! is that sexy or what!? I want something like that!\
Any help appreciated.
Cheers lads.

Do a search and you will find tons of info.
Also check out www.supras.com.
A good forum site dedicated to purely all things supras is www.supraforums.com
But the biggest problem with them is the Blown Head Gasket with the 7M-GTE.
Look for rust in the back around the hatch and tail-lights.
And check the front lower ball joints.
Hope that help.
Brett. (proud mk3 supra owner)

Good choice of car. There are a couple for sale on these forums, mine included.
Expect to pay in excess of $10k for a good one. I have been disappointed with mine because I have spent a lot of money on it and have had little interest. It seems to be a bit of a buyer's market.
