1997 TOYOTA SUPRA TURBO

that mechanic had better die.

if it were my car with such a value, i'd be at my lawyers office in a nano second.

the shop, owner, lead mechanic, the dumdarse driver, anything with a name attached, will be sued.

when i ran my shop (before i got into trucking), anyone not familiar with high powered cars was NEVER allowed to work on them let alone drive them.

back in my days, Vettes, 'Stangs, Datsun 280 Z, and nearly all other "muscle cars" were off limits, when they came into my shop. only 3 of us worked on them, and test drove them.

if the customer laid down some rubber leaving the shop, so be it. not us.

 

i'd actually be SUPER careful in buying ANY use foreign car from the 70's, 80's and into the 90's...

reason being, where they were built, and how the metals were treated.

they (Japanese) knew we had winters, but didn't know how much salts we used. i had at least 2 customers that had the Honda CVCC.

great little car, but rotted away to pieces due to the road salts, and untreated metals.

if a car is being advertised as a "California or Florida" car, that should be easy to trace......BUT, you'd not want one that was sold in either place, then moved up north, resold, then at a later time, returned back to those states.

 

You don’t want anything from FL, unless there’s proof it was stored in a climate-controlled environment. If not, it’ll have corrosion everywhere.

This is a cool place, if you’re into JDM/RHD stuff.

yes, but more so for the Japanese cars. i had a Subaru come in (cannot recall the model) and as my helper tried to raise it up on the lift, the rear subframe started to fold up.

he let it down slowly, and we pushed the car outside.

when the woman who owned the car came to pick it up later that day with her husband, he couldn't thank us enough for possibly saving her life.

they had the car towed to the junk yard down the street, and went out and she bought another Subaru.....it was her favorite brand.

just like mine is Toyota.
