Second Car

[ZupGarage JPN]

Hello everyone! My names Anthony, you can call me ant or whatever you want to call me. I am a 17 yearold kid that owns a 01 silverado as my first car BUT I am wanting a 1993-1998 toyota supra as my 2nd car, any websites/suggestions that I can use to my advantage to own one?

You’ll need a very strong budget including a decent wedge for insurance at your age. Whilst it’s never bad to dream, I think you might struggle. Any bargains are quickly snapped up by traders and there are some expensive lemons out there hiding under shiny paint, so do your research.

I have been wanting a supra for awhile since I was 14, I will do alot of research on other vehicles and ask past history on the vehicle itself. I have also asked my friends friend matt (he has a 1200hp 1993 mk4 supra) and he said to choose wisely and ask about how the car was treated, any accident history etc

As you are stateside I guess, then Supraforums would be a good place to get advice too.

Websites, Goonet lets you see Japan auction cars.

I would strongly advise asking around the local supra/car community if they know the car, as unless the seller is honest they are unlikely to disclose accident damage or any serious issues with the car. There's not that many about these days so it's more than likely someone knows the car and might have some valuable insight. It's happened many times before where someone says "I am looking at this car" only for members to recognise the car and reveal a different history than what the seller is giving. Clocking is also going to be a big issue going forward given the desirability and significant price difference for low mileage cars.
