N/A Supras are circa. 225bhp.
I had one for 6 months, great to drive, a bitch to park (too big), impracticle but look good!
I was paying £1250 insurance. I always wanted a Scoob and nearly spat my tea out when I found that a Scoob STi was £450 less to insure!
Your Supra will cost about £48 to fill up with juice and return about 19-21 mpg!
What size wheels/tyres has it got?
BTW they are ace for 2nd-gear tail-out action around islands! Dead controllable. Thats what I miss....

My Supra N/A M reg'd, HKS suspension, cream leather etc..
excellent drive, although unstable round bends with it being rwd. 100% Lady Magnet. Performance = scoob will dust it.
n/a supras are 220bhp, but they are a size of a tank, to be honest the power comes in once your in 3rd, so saxo driver's you may have a chance!!

100% reliable, the 3.0 n/a model has the same engine as the Lexus GS300. Interms of the servicing, well pretty straight forward, oil change after 3k, + oil filter, and thats about as far as the servicing goes.
When buying a supra check for the Tyres!!!, they could be a bit of a bill, and the sound of the engine. Usually they are very quiet engines. Normally you should only hear a light ticking noise on the top.

Unstable around corners due to RWD? Just keep your foot on the accelarator and it will go round fine! It'll just take a bit of getting used to, like moving from any one configuration to another!

Hmm i find that comment highly dubious without a huge amount of skill & a decent after market traction control system planting foot round a corner & being able to wheel spin in any gear u fancy is likely 2 end in tears although i guess it may be slightly easier with the non turbo variety but still that is a car that needs mucho respect!!!
