88 supra turbo targa

[70gtodrifter]

my old man is thinking about selling his 200k miles turbo talon and is thinking of buying a 88 supra turbo targa 5spd with 88kmiles do u people think it is a good choice

it's a heavy car, but it's a Toyota. Make sure you buy a metal head gasket and ARP head studs and replace the stock head gasket ASAP!
check the obvious, play in the turbo, leaks in the targa, rust, etc. etc...

...or torque the head down to the right specs.

Is the Turbo Talon AWD?

A Turbo A70 with 88K is a rare find - how much?

the talon is just ff and the targa is priced at $4200/obo

The Targa

Go with the targa, unless you have a love for FF drifting. Anything FF can do, FR can do better. FR can do anything better then you. LOL

go with the supra, I just got an n/a auto with 77,000 miles, and targa, it is heavy, and about the head gasket, I'm getting a metal HKS one, but they are also really great cars, I love mine. If you do go with the supra you will be very happy.

I've got an '88 n/a targa. Fun car.

And ehh, mranlet's right. Don't waste your money on a new gasket, just torque the OEM one down to the correct specs. Assuming it isn't already blown.
