1987 Toyota Supra review from North America
"Glad I bought it!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Mainly, two head gaskets.
General comments?
Just one point. This car is almost a quarter-century old. It was a very low-production model (for Toyota), and shares no parts with other models. It came from Japan, I'm in Canada. So you'd think that when it needs parts (other than common wear items like brakes) I'd be searching wreckers or the internet.
In fact, to this day, absolutely ANY part that I need will be at my local dealer the next day. I think this is extraordinary manufacturer support.
It's still a bit of a head-turner that I use as my daily driver without worrying about some part failing.
