thats the link let me know what you guys think should i get it?

Well without more/better pictures, it isn't a decision that can be made right from that add. Obviously when you look at the car in person look the car over real good for areas of rust. The price isn't listed, but i wouldn't pay over 800 bucks for a car in that shape.

Just be smart about it when you check the car out, and you should be fine. It is nice that the motor doesn't concern you, it will probably make the whole experience a little easier. Aand it's a supra. Of course it's a good idea (if you aren't getting ripped off). :thumbsup:

Travel to a dry state for a rust free one.

edit: a little rust doesnt bother me i can do body work i just dont want to get raped like last time...

[Malloy]

My dad is a life long body man. He and any other guy in the trade will tell you to find a rust free car.... as rust always comes back.

That is why I really really love the SDR car I got from Phil. NO RUST ANYWHERE!

meh ok well if there isnt rust anywhere else than that one spot ill get it but if there is i wont... and ill move on

ps neverminddd

Although I whole-heartedly agree with Mike, for $750 you can not expect rust free. For that price and in your area, I would still consider getting it although the rear quarters, rockers, sunroof, probably behind the trim will be rust. Now if you have at least $2-3G to spend on a car and you are thinking of buying that car for $750 and spending the rest fixing the rust, that's when you need to pass and head to the SW. Remember gas and/or transport will cost you when buying farther from home so you've gotta figure that into the cost of the car.

Its not a panda.

[CJSREDPRA]

ps this is just a red supra right not a panda

Uhmmmm.................

Are you sure this is even RED???????????????

I see Terra Cotta........ Picture of the backseat confirms this.

[laskt9]

lol ok just wondering

[Soulbait]

patience young one...if you are really in the market for a rust free supra don't jump on the first one you see...

If you want a rust free shell just keep looking and like Malloy said:

check everything over while your there, so you don't end up replacing a bunch of stuff...

take a flashlight and a mirror, and a few tools...

I am wondering where the other spoiler is at since he claims that it has a double spoiler and I see only one. Sounds like he has no idea what he is really talking about and is try to "talk up" the car. I would be very worried about rust then, even watch for areas that the paint looks a little different and tap your fist around the car to check for bondo, if the owner does not let you do that..walk away.

[laskt9]

haha yea ill do that 83 and soulbait i dont care about rust free for this one i just need a winter project so i dont go crazy

[CarFreek]

[sowsley]

haha yea ill do that 83 and soulbait i dont care about rust free for this one i just need a winter project so i dont go crazy

This is going to end badly ........ :faint:

[laskt9]

lol its ok i checked it out i dont like it time to work on my ae86

however the car has only that one spot of rust she even let me tear up the back carpet and check out the wheel wells no rust at all! and no bondo

[lechner]

And she will let it go for $750? hmmm. What didn't you like about it?

[laskt9]

its an auto and im to lazy to do the switch to manual -.-

[silverton]

Need to work on your priorities boy ;) Seriously though, what's wrong with an auto? I love both my 5spd and auto. Equally! I got my 100% rust free SDR for 800$ needed a motor, but the fact that it's rust free, I doubt I will ever get rid of it.

[Tanya]

its an auto and im to lazy to do the switch to manual -.-

Probably going to find a lot better condition auto cars than manual, for numerous reasons. If you're dead set on having a 5 speed, it really is NOT that hard to switch over, and the auto is plenty of fun in the meantime. You might even kick yourself after the swap when you see your gas mileage go down a little :sarcasm:

[silverton]

20-25 city in the auto, 28 highway. and less than 20 in the five speed no matter what, definitely not a good trade off. I still like the auto more as a DD.

[laskt9]

haha alright alright well if someone wants to pick it up go ahead im moving on to my corollas

[lilrabbit_itg]

yah 5spd is the way to go.
