Default Supra Owners, Chime In

I will be returning to England next week, and I'm looking into picking up a MKIV when I get back, because I found out today that they are cheap as shit!

However, I know very little about them. Can anyone shed some light on the pros and cons of things like:

turbo vs. non turbo
auto vs. manual
targa vs. non removable top
etc.

Thanks.

And just to give you an example of the prices, this is around $13,000!!

I don't understand your confusion.

Haha, I thought that was the obvious choice, but I've heard the autos are quicker than the turbo manuals.

Turbo, targa, manual sounds ultimate to me. It seems hard to find though. The only bad thing I've noticed about the UK Supras is the god awful wing that comes with some of them.

The car listed in my original post is one of the most expensive ones I could find in the UK! That's why I was so blown away when I discovered how cheap they are!

The man speaks the truth. Although I prefer a stalled auto...do yourself the favor of getting the above.

Are you bringing it back to the US?
If so, did you calculate that into your total cost of the car?
