Hi, im brand new to the idea of purchasing a supra, however, not new to the modifying scence. Im in high school, and looking for a car to mod that handles well, and can be modded a bit. I've looked through heavily at the 1995-1997 BMW M3's.... the 2002 WRX..... The Nissan 240sx.... etc etc. But my question is this; Should I get a 1993.5 N/A Supra and pay about 15 grand, (which is my budget right now), or is there a better ride for that kind of money??? Is it horribly really slow??... Thanks for the help!!

For 15K you could get a MK3 and spend the rest and make it really sick :) btw Im guessing your parents are paying for it?

15 g's for a 93 n/a? Fuk that bro you an do WAY better than that for that $$ you know what look around for one with a salvage title on it or something. I found one a while bak for $1500 with the 7M-GTE so it was turbo one so you can get a really good priced one and use the rest of the funds to build it up. I tell you what you get a good chassis for about 1k-3k you an buy you a nice JDM 2JZ-GTE for about 6-7k with the 6-spd on it. then your up to what about 7-10k roughly. and you get :burnrubbe lol In essence if you got a pretty good start as far as funds, and it appears you do, than do this the right way bro and you'll never have to trip on nothing. I wish i had 15k to start with lol

I'm looking for a supra to, check out KBB.com for some suggested prices. Seriously I think that 15K for 93' NA is above what should be the real value. just my .2. Keep looking and you'll find one.

12 would buy it.

Good choice as depends on your budget. It should be in well and good condition.

15k is too much for a non turbo. you can get yourself a mk3 supra with a 2jzgte for under that still. if you think dropping in a turbo motor into a non turbo car would be a good idea think ahead and search. you gotta replace the non turbo drive train to a turbo one, W58 (non turbo tranny) to a turbo trany R154 or GETRAG 6 speed. rip out your engine ecu and wire harness and re wire EVERYTHING ect ect.

if you buy a mk3 you need to know if the head gasket ahs bin rebuilt or not, dont buy it if it isnt.

I just got my 95 na with a JDM TT engine and tranny (auto) for $13000 it is really clean with new paint it had 170 on the car and about 60 on the engine and tranny. I got this car in tx so the deals are out there just keep lookin and remember cash talks
