Default new one, sti or single turbo supra?

well i told myself i would not get another supra unless it was a black on black 6 speed...well i found a black on black 6 speed, a 95, it is stock on the outside, but has a lot of good stuff under the hood, single turbo, fuel system, tein coilovers, intake manifold, etc etc etc, only 2k miles on all mods it has a built motor but the guy went lean and blew the motor, guy is asking 21k obo for the car and the car is located in washington state, if i got this car i would just buy my car back from insurance as my motor has 37k miles on it, so a lot more hassle but i would be back in a supra, btw the car put down 615rwhp

or a sti, in the end they will both cost me about the same, depending if i find a good deal on a sti, so i probably would have to travel for that car as well

my concerns, supra looks way better then sti, sti is way newer and has a warranty, supra is way faster and nicer interior, sti has a more practical interior, etc

For speed and pussy...Supra. For reliability/warranty and practicality...STi. I am looking at adding an STi to the family, also.

Lol @ psycho.....

I love Supras also and could get a nice one for $33k (cost of a new STi) but I just don't think a Supra would be as practical. Plus, finding one I can finace is going to be very hard.

10 years down the road, the supra will have a higher resale value than an STi or Evo.

do the smart thing and get the Supra.

I'd get the Supra because its a sexy car and because even though I like AWD and Turbo that the STi has I dunno, the Supra is just nicer to me.

You should talk to your insurance company about setting an 'agreed value' for your car.

When I bought my 930 thats what I did so they wouldn't concider my $32K purchase worth only $25K.

I'd go STi but then I'm a bit biased. There's just something to be said about rain and AWD. Mmmm....
