the supra is nice, but it's kinda extreme

This is one thing that Ive always thought about .....I hate creaks and rattles ..But I love the SupraTT.....Could you handle that

Dude, you don't sound like you even like the Supra, and you just want us to reconfirm your dislike for it. I am not gonna tell ya what to buy but if you feel it's time to move on, do it with less deliberation, so you don't have time to rethink too many times about it and make the wrong choice.

I like the Supra and would get it. The Supra is a very rare car that holds up it s value well, and will be a collectors car in about 5 years. Get it.

not a factory color, but the body panels match the VIN, we think it was a color change to be different, not because of wreck (the carfax is clean) 55k miles



the engine bay looks ratty, but before I take ownership the engine will be rebuilt to my specs. the sized turbo I want, etc.

Like other members have said I'd keep the GS...Not only is it a sleeper but with 18,000 miles thats a practically new car imO... You can get many years of great reliability with the GS.. Not many people have a Turbo GS either... My Vote GS all the way

Good Luck

I think you'll eventually regret getting rid of your GS. I've read it here before. Your GS is an exceptional ride. If you really want the Supra then save up for it...don't get rid of the GS IMO.

Default I sold my 94 supra turbo to buy my Gs. Although supras are nice and rear->

I think is rearer to see a Turbo gs. I can't wait to get my Gs turboed but certain priority comes first. If I was you I would keep the GS and enjoy the luxury,comfort and the power.
