My New Daily Driver : )

For the longest time Ive been a fan of the Toyota Supra but the price was always a big turn off for how old they are. I recently buckled down and hit the internet hard to find one within my price range. I wanted something to replace my 03 Pontiac Sunfire as a commuter and boy did I ever. What it lacks in mpg it'll make up for in 2JZ awesomeness. Hope you all enjoy the pics.

I love it! Super clean find ! Are you planning on doing a 6 speed conversion ? or just keeping it a settled down daily driver?

Thanks! I plan on keeping it auto but will build on the tranny to make sure it lasts. I find that it's easier for me to not waste gas with automatics. I drive too aggressively with manuals.

Got it for just under 20K. It was a steal compared to the other TT Supras I looked at. Mileage was one of the reasons I got it for such a low price but I plan on restoring it soon.

Good choice there is nothing like a supra. They do get very expensive mine is a money pit for sure, good luck with your future build.

Engine has just over 50k and looked very good after having a compression test done. The chassis however has 177K on it. I know that's a bit over the top but I plan on doing things the right way to prevent failure.
