[Supras] 153857

[Michael Bringle]

I think my plan is to move on for now.  Out of the turbo car market to more
of a "family" good gas mileage car.  Like a Corolla/Prius/Civic. I like the
modding fun, and will most likely continue on a smaller but more experienced
level.  I learned a lot from the Supra.  Biggest lesson, twistys are funner
than straightys.

Mike, so sorry to hear it. I've seen you post about getting your car right
for years, going from SSIP (which I once thought was Stainless Intercooler
piping :) ) to nicely modded. Any chance you'll look for another or do you
think you'll move on to another project? I would have thought it would be
worth a little more than $2800 as my insurance still costs a few bucks more
than our 07' FJ. Maybe full coverage isn't worth it on our cars anymore.

Take care, 
Brian

We have lost another one from our ranks. 

  

So I just got word back from my insurance company.  They are totaling my car
due to my recent accident.  The light turned red and I stopped, the lady
behind me in the Ford SUV didn't and slammed into the back of me, she has

accepted liability.   The damage isn't extreme, but probably enough.  My own

insurance company said my 1989 Turbo is only worth $2890.  They felt this
was a fair price collected by how much a dealer would buy a similar car for.

I think they are full of it, so I am trying to collect sales data on Supras.

So if you have any details of recent sales I would appreciate if you sent it

on to me.   My location is Southern California. 

  

My plan is to part out the car after I get that all the insurance stuff
settled.  The car itself is a 1989 Turbo with metallic grey outside and grey
interior, very good condition, and I did the 5-speed swap.  Most everything
is in beautiful condition and I have lots of after market parts.  Local
buyers preferred of course :).  Get your lists ready!

  

And don't worry; the site will still be up.  This means I'll probably have
more time to work on it :).
