Hi I'm new to the site, but have been probably the longest fan of the mk4 supra since I found out of it's exsistence. I am currently looking at a limited edition 97 blak/tan with 77,000 miles for $35,000. I think the price is good for it, and I could probably take it for about $32,000. However this car also has an hks exhaust, tanabe downpipe, hks intake, and 19 inch wheels(wheels are new, about a month). My question is what kind of things should I look for in being bad on the car?
I know these bad boys are bullet proof, but is there anything I should not forget to check before going through with the purchase?

Things I already know to check:
-fluid levels
-clean title(it is!!!)
-repainted areas
-test drive(look for tranny or engine noises)
-check for leeks in engine bay
-check for any leeks below car
-check idle
-check clutch feel, and shifting feel of tranny
-check if boost ever spikes

after that I'm not to sure what to look at. any advice?

Thankx in advance.

Ruben

This has a good checklist:

The first thing I would do is swap in a different intake. I've heard bad things about the HKS one disintegrating or something like that...

Good luck!
