After 3 days of taking delivery the gearbox had to be rebuilt by the dealer.
Managed to get through 4 radiators.
Head gasket (as per a normal Supra!).
Radio-cassette code locked up without incorrect entry.
Servicing expensive, e.g: spark plugs £20 each!!
Don't buy one when it's due a plug change!
Breakdown cover very useful which had been provided by the dealer (opportunity to drive the rest of Toyota range!!).
Impressive performance & well built (except the engine!),
Sadly the gearbox from the 2.8 could not handle the 3.0 Turbo!
You got a badun!!!
I'd say you had some very bad luck my friend. I've got 3 of these (1987 and two 1990, all turbo)
I've run a considerable amount of miles on them and they are all excellent. I did have the head-gasket problem on one, but the others have been fine.
All are well over 100,000 miles at this point.
