Used Car of the Day: 1991 Toyota Supra
Our team is busy grinding away in the blog mines, so we've been quiet this morning. We'll start your afternoon off with a treat: A clean-looking 1991 Toyota Supra.
Clean-looking not running. There's an issue with the oil-pump shaft.
This turbocharged car has 129,000 miles, an automatic transmission, and is on its second owner. The seats have been redone.
There's a dent in the hood and the trunk doesn't open.
Despite this, the asking price for this Kansas-based car is $10,000.

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

I have a 87 bot new with 200k miles and 3 head gasket jobs and bot another 87 turbo 5 speed with 70k miles and new head gaskets. They cost around 4k to do these days.
10,000 clams for a shell basically. Dont know what this guy is smoking thinking its worth that with a blown motor.
Also the one to get is a 90-92 JDM model with the 1JZ-GTE. Basically the same motor as the Mark IV Supra but 2.5 liters of displacement. Tons of aftermarket support and can be made into a 500hp monster pretty damn easy. Or a 1500hp monster if you got the budget for a built shortblock and a turbo the size of a soccer ball lol
omg does this scream "I blew it up and my partner is making me sell it....."
I agree it's a great car to drive, just make sure you don't overheat the engine and you're good to go. I have over 200k miles on the one I got brand new. But it's getting harder and harder to find parts anymore.
