what year are you looking for and how deep is your wallet?

An mkiii can be found cheap, and modded cheaply(~1000$ in simple mods and you're talkin), and they can be restored easy enough. (what im currently doing to my supra 87 Turbo)

An mkiv, is the exact opposite.

try getting a login at supramania.com
and supraforums.com

there is all kinds of good info in there.

good luck

Well if you have been in Tampa for a while, my "friend" used to own a F&F colored eclipse, his was nice and fast, but Ive been mkiii supras and they were much faster.... as far as the new ones you'd have to ask some of the guys on here, because Ive never been in one... are you going for TT, or NA>T, or just NA?

dont ask supra kid though he's an NA just kidding but check out supraforums, there are always mkiv guys there and they can let you know anything you want

mkIV's are very rare and tt's in good condition are even rarer. expect to pay in the 20-25k range for a decent stock one. parts are expensive as well.

Hi how's it going. One good place to start looking is auto trader and also E-bay,they have some nice one's also. I would also suggest that if you get a chance check out Supraforums they have good info on MKIII and MKIV supras.The 93 - 98 supras are perty much the same any of these will do you just have to choose color I guess. I would stay away from dealers if possible. Private owners is better sometimes.Well good luck in whatever route you take.
