Any one know about the reliability of a 1993 or so supra?

Question

Well when I was 16 I bought a 1995 talon great car never had any problems ..... untill I totalled it ....... racing somebodys mom it's actually a funny story but any way even after totalling it that car still lasted me a while and besides it needing new tires once a month was still a great car. I then at 17 bought a 1994 dodge stealth non turbo version and from about day 2 always had a problem with it I mean every time I drove it something else broke for some reason I was replacing struts every other week doing engine work or something and it only had 80 or 90k eventually I gave up and sold it. Shortly after I bought a twin turbo 3000gt and constantly had problems up until the day I some how threw a rod driving 60 in 5th gear I then sold it and stuck with my truck that I never had a problem with. I want to buy a 1993 through 1998 supra TT but don't want to always be working on it did I just have bad luck before? Any one know how reliable a supra is I've seen some with over 200k on them

Answer 1

When your talking about a high performance car that has been beat on for the last 10-15 years (double the average life expectency of a car), and modified and tinkered with in god knows what ways, what you get is what you get. Make sure the car is sound before you buy it and hope for the best.

Answer 2

Any high performance car is going to require more work....as you can see with your two sports cars, vs the truck. I have had several friends with these cars and engines run around $5000, Tranmissions run about $1750 and turbos are $2,000. I would say they are better than average but they had a lot of electrical grimlins.
