The state of Supras in, say, two or three years time.

Attending Supra Pod this year made me realise how much I miss my Supe. While I'd love a GT-R or a 60's Muscle Car I think another Supra will be the way to go.

 

However, as it's going to take me about two maybe three years to sort my financial life out, will it be worth the wait? What state do we think Supras will be in in a few years time?

 

Will they be nearly all dead with only treasured examples left or do we think it'll be much like it is now?

There'll be a very few stock ones that have been cherished, and I mean a few, loads of hideously disfigured wrecks in various stages of terminal decay, and a selection of well modified and well maintained ones in Scandinavia ;) They will follow the exact same progress that the MKIII Supra followed, there saving grace being the engines are a lot better. There'll be more nice MKIV's than Skylines as the Skyline is a rot box and won't withstand salty winters as well as the Toyota, which is also more DIY friendly and cheaper to maintain properly.

It's Nissan! :) Seen rusted through tailgates on MKIV's and the odd rusty rear wheel arch. Underneath the rad support X-member can rot out, but generally the imports are pretty good. there are plenty of pretty scabby UK ones around though (salt...).

 

R34 Skylines are notoriously bad for underside rust, they seemed to go downhill from the R32.
