Stick with the Supra they are sooooooo much funner and rarer around these parts. Especially that year. 91 and 92 are hard to find so you have a gem there.

go with the one thats more reliable not the one that is fun, i would rather have a car that is not fun but will take me places than to have a car that is fun but will be a money pit just my 2 cents

if you keep the supra you need to change the timing belt if you didnt already. personally i think the cavalier is a POS but since it is a newer car and possibly more reliable and maybe still under warranty you might wanna stick with it. remember both cars have the exact same resale value right now, lol.

If you decide to keep the cavalier then you sir should sell me your 91 supra and or just give it to me.

yeah the supra is worth more... can u swap a 2jz into the cavelier and paint it and sell it for 10k+?

can u paint it and sell it for 5k+ now?

realistically the supra is gonna hold its value and the cavelier will drop value like a rock every day.

plus.. more fun...

new HG, ARP headstuds... and it should be reliable as can be

Um, no, you dont really need to change the timing belt, but theres a lot of shit you SHOULD do in addition to it...spark plugs, timing, coolant flush, brake flush, brakes, etc.

with the supra your going to want to do A LOT of preventative maintenance on it so you wont have problems in the longer run.....thats the stage that im in now....it can really add up

I'm going to get a low miles engine with a stock rebuild put into my car for 3500, add the metal headgasket and ARP bolts and studs throughout and your looking more along the lines of 4000 bucks, then I'm converting to r154 5 speed for 600 installed as long as I have all the parts. The parts alone will run about 2,000 bucks. Thats's a good example of the kind of money you WILL end up spending if you want to keep the car and that's not even close to being into the mods I want to do lol.

Like I said just sell it to me.
