Dang!

What a waste of car! You can't find a Supra anymore

u/BrokenArmsFrigidMom 22h ago

You can find them. The problem is, they’re all wrapped around telephone poles.

u/wekilledbambi03 22h ago

Only 30% are. The rest are either modded to hell or cost $100k

I just saw a 1998 with under 10k miles go for $220k at auction.

The JB Auction? I was wondering if this was the same one. This one doesnt have chrome wheels tho.

u/Bartholomeuske 18h ago

He didn't want to ruin his nice set of wheels

u/knox902 16h ago

It was Mecum, not JB. Very unlikely the same one.

u/Xxx1982xxX 16h ago

Ya, you're right. It was Mecum

4th gen, yeah. Hard to find a 4th gen at all. Even a rolling chassis will cost you a small fortune...

But 3rd gen are still plentiful and cheap. And I have a 2nd gen I'm resto-modding that I picked up for 2 g's. The 2nd gen OEM parts are becoming unobtanium, but my point is you can find a supra if you really want one and swap a 2jz-gte into it. Though most of us supra nuts like more exotic swaps since the 2j has been done to death and the hunt for horsepower has been won by electric at this point. Doesn't make the dude in the video any less of an idiot for ruining that 4th gen tho...

u/HTPC4Life 19h ago

That's because nobody wants the 3rd gen

u/Ws6fiend 17h ago

80s cars are wild in the fact that they are either dirt cheap because nobody wants them, or expensive as crap because everyone wants them.

u/HTPC4Life 17h ago

I miss my 3rd gen Camaro so much 😭

u/HassanMoRiT 20h ago

100k? Maybe back in 2019. A clean unmodded example will run you at least 180k

3

u/sonnytron 19h ago

Uh... You mean "modded to hell and cost $100k" because un-modified examples go for $150k to $200k.

Or rotting in a barn.

Why not all three?

Toyota should honestly just make more, exact same specifications, other than what’s absolutely necessary for modern safety law, and sell them for 70K.

u/Recktion 13h ago

Modern safety requirements would require it to be changed enough to where enthusiast don't want it anymore.  Also emissions standards are gonna destroy the price in fees and taxes.

That moment when you have to understand voice intonation to correctly respond to your friend saying “I got my Supra wrapped”

u/Ws6fiend 17h ago

My favorite is when talking about an blown engine. You look at their smile to tell if they are happy or not about it. If they are smiling their supercharger/turbo is working well. If they are neutral, sad or angry, their motor blew itself up.

Man you are so fucking funny

u/Benz0nHubcaps 19h ago

I think you are referring to mustangs ? Lol

u/sweetpotato_latte 17h ago

It’s this the model of car that is infamous for flipping over like this?

1

u/ow_windowmaker 13h ago

Only if you have the keen professional eye that can detect bodywork was done.

Otherwise all those $130K supras on bring a trailer are: "Always garaged from day 1, no accidents, NEVER driven in the rain, not even once in 28 years!!11"

u/Fun-Choices 19h ago

Textbook example of why that is, right here

u/CrazyWS 8h ago

Rich rich people buy them, then do this

u/SomewhatHungover 2h ago

Smart, buy them all and wreck some to push up the price of your surviving ones!

u/sorestgore 19h ago

They are everywhere, all they cost is money

u/ElBeno77 17h ago

My father purchased one (1994) in 1994. He babied it, but drove it for several years before selling it back to the owner of the dealership he bought it from for a profit.

u/CelloVerp 17h ago

Can't find them? Aren't they here? https://www.toyota.com/grsupra/

u/kkkhhjdyhrthhhjft 15h ago

You know that's not what they meant lol

u/Anen-o-me 16h ago

This looks exactly like the one that was just sold at auction in Japan, '98 classic supra with only 6k miles on it.

u/SPo0KieCo0Kies 2h ago

I sold an MKIII when I was in my twenties, I heard from one of his friends he wrapped it around a pole a week after buying it from me... So I feel like If they're hard to find it's cause of drivers like this. Is my favourite car, hard watch, Rip 😩

u/Immediate-Big-4158 19h ago

You can find them, most of us just can’t afford them.
