Hey I am looking at buying a MkiV Toyota Supra imported,
3 Litre non turbo, 5 Speed.
Is there anything I should be looking out for or any problems associated with these cars.
Your help would be greatly appreciated

not really any hassles at all.
the usual trouble with jap imported cars is drifters, but the supras are generally too expensive for drifters (they go 180sx's or gts-t's)
well built car, beautiful engine ... just make sure you dont pay too much
tho why you're not getting a TT I'm not sure

Thanks,
Its for a friend and he's only just turned 20, if it was for my I would be going the TT, but he doesn't want to pay a ridiculous amount in insurance each year and figures he can do a conversion a few years down the track, and hes getting a good deal just on 20K.
Thanks for your help

I've seen TT's advertised as low as $22,500.

22500 for an auto ... and who wants an auto?
lowest 6-speed I've seen was 26000, excluding stamp duty & tyres (not counting wrecks etc)
20 000 is an alright price, assuming it's got a bit of rice with it (bodykit, wheels, or some such)

You might want to get your friend to check the insurance on a supra NA -
The difference between getting a TT or NA will not influence the insurance by very much.... The fact that it is a grey import immediately makes the price of insurance huge.
The major factors for insurance cost I have come across are grey import, age, cost of vehicle and of course who you talk to on the phone!!! - don't get them on a bad day!
