I am 17, I currently drive an '89 Mustang GT Convertible, I live smack dab in the middle of Illinois and want one of the dead-sexiest cars ever made in about a year or so. Where would any seasoned Supra-owners suggest starting to find one?? Thanks!!!!

The cars for sale section here is good. I found my car on the mkiv forums.

You'll find less scams on forums where other members have possibly dealt with the seller in the past. After forums try eBay, craigslist, autotrader.com, cars.com, etc. But don't pay for a car you haven't seen with your own eyes from one of these places.

I bought my SC sight unseen from a seller on ebay and I'm 100% satisfied with it. I talked to the seller several times before closing the deal and made sure I was comfortable with them.

Where in IL are you? I'm in Champaign/Urbana...

What are you looking to get. N/A, TT, auto, 6spd, hardtop??? How much are you looking to spend??? Do you have the money in hand, ready to go??? These are the questions you need to ask yourself... Your answers will affect your search for a supra dramatically.

If you have the money then start looking right now, it took me about a year to find mines. I bought mines when I was 18 so dont worry about some guys giving you shit about buying it young, but do take the advice to be careful on the streets and learn all about the car at a steady pace. Once you`re comfortable behind the wheel of a Supra then you can enjoy having fun responsibly. Good luck!

wtf...i dont' think im giving him shit. but w/e i just didn't have a supra when i was 17 either, i also bought mine when i was 18 but w/e then, i thought that maybe the insurance was just to high for me. I worked and barely made it through for mods. Just sayin the more you save the better, and when the insurance give's you a break shit. then buy it. Not giving shit about how old. i knew people that bought theres when they were 16. Doesn't matter. Just giving advice of my past expirence.
