MR2, both because it is the superiour car (midship is life) and that it's not an autotragic.

132 thousand miles is a fair bit though, definitely inspect it first.

Don't buy an SW20 made before 93 unless you want to snap oversteer into a pole.

Sweet meme bro
>>16686508
My last 5 MR2s were over 200k miles. Youre insane

You've also gone through 5 of them, and he wants to give the car to his brother, presumably in a few years.
I didn't tell him not to buy it, I told him to fucking LOOK AT IT.

>Nyet, MR2 is fine. Even OBSERVING MR2 shows you have no faith in car, and it will run poorly for lackings of trust.

That's right. I know his first car isn't going to be a new car. I'm planning on giving it to him the following spring.

My first car, I bought with 140k miles and it never gave me problems. I kept up with maintenance.

>>16686570
Im also over 30 years old.
Ive had plenty of cars for long periods of time.
Dont act like a know-it-all
132k is nothing

Buy an MR2. They are more reliable, more fun (in my experience) and that sweet MR design.

I live for mid engine layouts.

However, if you are going to give it to your brother in a few years as a first car, I would be cautious about the MR2. My first car was an SW20, and I never suffered from snap oversteer outside of the track, but I know of people who did.

Anything advice or knowledge on the Surpa?

>tfw 2 months after getting married, unbeknownst to you, your new wife decides to take your '90 MK3 out for a joyride to see her sister just before the first snow of the season and while driving home hits a patch of ice while doing 70mph down a hill and plants the car directly into a concrete bridge pillar

The love of my life did not survive that crash but my wife walked away with only a sprained wrist

>Mk3
Only if it's a turbo. Get the headgasket replaced with new ARP headbolts. Don't believe in the retorque meme, it'll still go eventually unless it's a fresh gasket. Other than that, it's probably a better first car as it's not hyper quick, it's heavy, and it's harder to kill yourself in. Unless throw money at it, 232hp isn't that much in a 3600lb targa top cruiser.

Head bolt torque issue - Toyota wrote in the wrong torque specs for the cylinder head in the service manual, so gaskets would eventually wear out

It's a well documented issue and I'd be surprised to find a Supra that wasn't already fixed

>>16688390
You'd be surprised how many are not fixed. And most people just retorque, but that's not really good enough.
