>Historically not a well appreciated model. Often thrashed and >poorly maintained. Wow!! thats a big call.. The dog and lemon guide says that the MK3 supras are well thrashed and poorly maintained. i dont think that is a completely true statement. many of you would agree that we look after our MK3s and dont thrash them as much as we would like to!! as for the car, its not a GT-four is it??

And you would consider that 'publication' to be valuable for something other
than toilet paper?
Their main problems with the Mk.3 were (last time I looked) that it should
have airbags, because it was too fast, and it was dangerous because it was
rear wheel drive.

It is, as far as I can tell, a publication used to push a bunch of highly
outdated safety and "sensibility" theories. For example, that airbags are a
replacement for structural strength, and that rear wheel drive is dangerous.

I think what you will find that Richard is referring to the fact that those
celicas seemed to have, on average, attracted a group of owners who did not
maintain them well and tend to have a lot of problems - I've known 4 people
so far who have purchased them second hand - ALL have had serious problem
with them.

Of course, I don't recommend supras to people who what a reliable and cheap to
run car either.

Regards,
Stuart.

not sure, its from a photo and I cant get an angle on the back. No way of knowing so I'd say probably not, its a 2000cc automatic.

Wow!! thats a big call..

The dog and lemon guide says that the MK3 supras are well thrashed and poorly maintained. i dont think that is a completely true statement. many of you would agree that we look after our MK3s and dont thrash them as much as we would like to!!
