1988 Toyota Supra Reviews, Pricing & Specs

I bought it knowing full well that it likely had the notorious blown head gasket. Sure enough, it was well on its way when I got the car. I wasn't too concerned about that since I was planning on a rebuild anyway. I chose this specific one because it was for sale by the original purchaser. That's right, this baby is 23 years old, and I'm the second owner. It also had a mere 119 000 kms on it when I picked it up for a sum so small, it would make your head spin.Jun 03, 2011

This is my favorite car that i have owned for pure driving experience, has great power with the stock 7mgte, but due to the infamous head gasket problems i blew the motor and got a 1jzgte installed with the extra power its even funner to drive. It accelerates like a beast once you hit boost, braking seems a bit sketchy but i think its because its the first car I've owned over 3000pounds, even so its easy to throw around corners even with the weight thanks to TEMS. The build quality seems awesome there's almost no rust the interior is still immaculate and this is a 21 year old car! the interior isn't sexy but its functional and comfortable and can handle abuse. The exterior at first glance wasn't anything special but as i started doing body work and looking at the car more i realized it has a very ominous presence and at times looks very feminine with the curves down the side but still masculine and sometimes scary from the strong boxy front. The gas millage is great if you don't hit boost often in the low gears, parts are cheap unless your doing something one off. I cant get over how fun this car is to drive if you ever get a chance take one for a spin, you'll thank yourself. May 21, 2009

Performance- the bottom end on these cars are virtually bullet proof. You can do many bolt on upgrades more than doubling the stock horsepower and the internals will take it. Build Quality- the car is built solid. ive done minor repairs to the car besides its regular maintenance. the car is still running like new with 206,000 miles on it. Appearance- the car has an aerodynamic and sleek look. i really dont like the taillights on the car but besides that the car is awesome. Overall i love the car and it is very fun to drive.

Performance-wise: It's a Supra. 3.0 24V In-line 6, Front-engined RWD coupé. So let's just say it's nice to drive! This car grips the track like nothing else and when it loses grip it's completely predictable. Build quality is actually very solid and everything is held together with nuts and bolts so easy to swap. Only problem is that all the nuts and bolts have rusted so they all need swapping too... Everybody loves pop-up headlights. That is all.Jul 09, 2008

The north american top of the line version comes with a 3.0L in line 6cyl 24valve DOHC 7MGTE single turbo engine. It is a very nice car fully loaded, targa top, ajustable shock coils, and plenty of power but there are some down sides to the car. The engine tends to have alot of head gasket problems and the body rust's easily, the interior also depending on the color can look pretty retro aswellMar 12, 2008
