Comrade Flynn bought one of those last year and he's now of the belief it's his favorite vehicle, including over the Murcielago and the Focus RS. And the Delta Integrale he just got.

Thanks captain buzzkill. You would have to drive one to know it’s not because some dudes think it is cool (though it is) it is pure Toyota unleashed with a giant wing and whoa. Def $100k cars next 10 years.

Both the NSX and Supra are going to be 100k cars soon, probably in less than 5 years. Have you seen their prices today?

This just sold for $80.5k. We may not be that far off.

Yeah my bud is actually tempted to sell it. He's off to grad school this year and then he'll be a hospital's bitch for 3 years so he figures sell it, invest the cash and get whatever supercar he wants after he's a Doctor.


He has no school debt for those who will ask.

Nah. The Supra has always been a heavy cushy GT style car that actually isnt that remarkable even in stock turbo form - and indeed slower than it's contemporaries. The GT-4's are all far FAR better examples of Toyota unleashed.

Modded is just a weeeeee bit different of course but stock, it's really nothing to great at all.

Your friend went from way cool to way diiiiiick.

A grandpa buying a 20+ year old supra for a grandson seems pretty specific.

He didn't buy it for him, he bought it for himself brand new. Dude's got a dozen other wicked cars back in Cali. He also paid for half of his schooling. I don't think he will actually sell it but he doesn't want it to sit in a garage undriven.

Wait, grandfather gave dude his own car? Selling it is a total dick move then. If grandfather wanted it sold, he'd have done it himself and given your friend the money.
Also, the car is likely a better investment these days anyhow.

He was going to sell it himself, I think this was a tax writeoff.

They are a complicated family.

I dunno, it's been sitting undriven for years, has 71K on the clock. This was a better fate than selling it out there. My buddy wanted the car years ago but his priorities have changed so now he doesn't know if he's the right person to own it. It's not that bad, everyone is cool with whatever happens.
