California.. Affordable as in Teenager affordable. I'm not quite sure what model could you possibly throw some out?
Furniture
iirc theres the twin turbo, some older models with a single turbo, and a naturally aspirated model. there is also the older body shape from the 80's. from what i gather in the US the situation is less fiendly towards imports what with no 200sx or skyline, so i imagine it would not be teenager affordable unless you had well off parents.
pic 1 is the older body shape.
they are fairly common here, i don't think availability is quite as good in the USnot really sure on that though.

that one furthest right has me drooling.. thanks for the pics. So, even used supras will burn a hole in my wallet?
Furniture
oh yes. as you can see from those pics, over here mods and the supras themselves are well within reach of a 20-something year old willing to take a bit of financial risk.
were you planning for this to be your first car or something?

No, second car. I already have my first car

Teenager, California, that one of the far right could run you as much as $60K.
That first pic is of the Mark III (three) and the last three pic are of the Mark IV (four) Supra. The Mark IV Supra is one of the few modern imports to actually increase in resale value. You could probably find a high-mileage non-turbo automatic Mark IV for cheap enough if all you want is the looks. For driving performance, definitely go for a well-maintained turbo Mark III.

ok, if you're a newish driver i wouldn't really recommend a supra
how much could you afford to spend on a supra?
60K USD? holy crap, i didn't know it was that bad that one on the far right is for sale for 36k AUD, and has 500hp.... the pic below is of a 700hp supra that sold for ~35k AUD, but i think that guy needed the money quickly...Originally Posted by PBB

Second car? Are you actually paying for either of these cars?
Novice
Definately not considering trying to get the one on the rightJust saying I love the look.
I'm not sure how much I'm willing to spend. I love roundness of the body. Excuse my noob talk.

come to think of it i remember one 600hp supra for sale in the US for over 100k... it had some ridiculous price tag... i don't know if it sold or not. i think it was this one.

The six-speed turbo hardtops are by far the rarest.
Here's the Mark IV production numbers.

are those numbers for North America only?
