how is that possible of the car is only 17 years old?

Rubber gets old and dried out over time, them leaks start. Its happens even more so on an engine that isn't running on a regular basis. I picked up a 1977 Chev Malibu 15 years ago, it had only 12 thousand K on it, within 4 months, all 4 tires blew, and there were leaks all over the place on it.

someone bought this car back in 1990 and took care of it every year to store it.

There are many cars that came out 15, 20, 25 years ago just sitting for show and have sold for a lot of money like this one, even just basic cars.

From I know the third generation supra is a great car and over engineerred. Sure it have a headgasket issue, so does the 4runner, camry etc.


so props to the price. Just becasue its a 1990 supra not a 1992 or 1993 doesnt mean we can start bashing it.

The car really wasn't anything special. At the time it was overpriced, didn't handle particularly well, and it wasn't even the fastest Toyota! The mk3's have never really been saught after cars. They are fun cars to drive and mod but they just aren't unique or special enough to warrant any true classic value.

There is very little that appeals to me about that car considering I can go buy a brand new BMW 335i for the same price and have a 10X better car. The fact that it's old and new doesn't do much for me considering what you can buy now.

Is the 50k usd? Lol was a bargain before if the price will continue to rise.

[Redlyne_mr2]

Even a mint Corolla gts (much more desirable) wouldn't warrant that kind of money.

[thetransporter]

look at the price in 1990 - look at a inflation calculator its probably even a bit cheaper today

[Brent.ff]

Looks like it went up a km, and 20k

Dammit, Nick.

You post that celica and now it's all I'm thinking about. Of all times to want to start a restoration project, why does it have to be grad school

Or a 240Z. Always been a huge fan of those....one day.

The Supra is up to 70 grand now. I think not.

Always loved the 240. Such a classy (and classic) shape. Always wanted one with a big v8 in it....
