Hi, im a total rotor head but i came across a 1985 celica supra in the junkyard with what looks to be some minor rear end damage, the odometer has 67,000 miles on it and the man who owns the junkyard would sell me the whole car for $600, is this a good price? I have no idea about toyotas, i just know i need another car thats reliable and not a money pit like my rx7

If it's sitting in a junk yard I would try and find out a little more info then just the miles. If it's been sitting outside for this long that isnt good. Also, why is it in the yard in the first place? just because of the rear damage?

Just be careful, it could be a bigger money pit with hidden problems then your rx7.

I had a '85 celica and I loved it. I bought it from a guy who had it stored away for 12 years. It had 50 000 km's on it when i bought it, and 150 000 when I sold it. The only thing I ever had to replace was the thermistat. I know it's a different engine but I would say go for it. What else are you gonna buy for $600.
