Default GTO/Supra/300zx

want to by one of the above. The choice I have is

Silver GTO. Auto NA 1992 (best colour)

Gunmetal 300zx Auto TT Targa 1989 (best condition)

Gunmetal Supra Auto NA 1994 (newest)

Not sure which to go for. All are in good condition. Not overly concerned with massive power.

The supra is the most expensive the GTO and zx are about 1500 notes cheaper (GTO and zx are the same price).

Thing is I know in 6 months I'll be changing it again so need to consider resale. I **think** the GTO will be the most difficult to sell on, whilst the Supra may be the easiest the fact the zx is turbo'd should help.

Can't decide.

Supra all the way. More reliable, and more demanded. 300 hundys are good cars, but like you said if you come to sell it in 6 months you may struggle.
GTOs are known to be a bit in the pain of the rectum.
Its all IMHO, however my brother does own a Supra TT and a good friend owns a 300zx N/A auto (which is very nice).

Nasty to work on the 300zx is, my gaffa had one and it spent more time in for repair than it did on the road. Very nice motors though.

Should mention I've had all them before

Considered an RX7 but none I like about at the moment.

My main point is resale. Checking the autotrader sheds no light as all the above (incl RX7) has so many varying prices. Supra prices do seem to be higher and more stable. I think at the moment the GTO is out unless I get a spectacular deal.

Then it's between the 300 and the Supra. I prefer the look of the supra but the 300 is cheaper by £1500, but 5 years older and has 2 turbo's to worry about. 300 is mint (supra is good condition but not as good as the 300).

Getting there.
