According to the http://www.fueleconomy.gov all Mk3 Supras get 18mpg or less and therefore would qualify for $3500-4500 goverment voucher towards a new car (details at http://www.cars.gov).
It is very tempting given that I bought my 89 NA for $3300 nine years ago. I am sitting on a fence right now - and would need to make a decision by July 24 when the program kicks in. Looking to buy Nissan Versa 1.6 Auto+AC for my mom ($12000-$4500 = $7500 for a new car). I can probably get a few $$$ by stripping the Supra before trading it in - stereo, fog lights, hatch struts, AC controls, 3-piece wing, anything else? The car needs to be drivable. Anyone interested in a class 2 tow hitch for their supra?
I would feel bad about sending a good condition running Supra to a scrap yard - but spending $500/year for insurance/registration does not make economic sense anymore. I doubt I can get more than $2000 for NA with a leaking HG. It is my spare/weekend/towing car right now.
So is anyone thinking to do the same thing?
