I don't know how much something like that is worth, but $20,000 seemed like a LOT to me.

if its a mkiv turbo thats a really good deal. If its not a turbo well no one wants the non turbos. The MKIV turbos that are in good shape and have 60k or less miles go for around 30k, you can get a 1993 MKIV turbo that isn't in great shape for around 20k you don't usually see them for less then 20K unless they have alot of miles and aren't in good shape, but yes they are a rip off and if you really want a nice one you are gonna pay close to 30K for a car that is around 10 years old.

Those TT cars hold their value very well. This is one of the few import cars I have an urge to own

Nice cars, man.

I really do dig the looks of the WRX's. Oh, and the performance ain't bad either.

I know it's a turbo, my bosses are brother and car freaks... this was the car he gave to his daughter, 16yr old, HOT, daughter, 2 years ago. You should see what their garage looks like, they actually rented a warehouse for the cars that they don't drive everyday. Looks like a small version of Jay Leno's garage. Don't know much about it otherwise, it has the big 'shopping cart handle' for a spoiler, NICE looking brakes, haven't looked close since it's only here like once a month or so. I've heard it take off before, and you can hear what I assume to be a BOV from a block away or so. It's never been here good and clean, cause they don't even consider it a real car. Can you believe those guys? They call it a daily driver and it's dirty all the time! One of the guys here say that the nitrous on it was just to spool the turbo, and that he had the original turbo(s) rebuilt. Are they the twin turbos or not? I'm almost positive the guy said turbos, but he might have been talking about the two halves of one.

Nice supra. If i had to own any import it would be one of them older supras. There is a blue up the road from me turbo that just sits next to a house and never moves. It was up for sale once..prolly get a good deal on it. I dont know if anything is wrong with it but looks greaton the outside.

Stock they come with twins and there is no need for nitrous for spool on the stock twins because they spool really quick, when you go to a bigger single the nitrous is helpful to rid of the horrible lag that a large turbo has.

I need to look under the hood myself, the guy that was telling me about it is kinda full of shit 1/2 the time anyway. He's probably guessing or making shit up anyway. I can believe the nitrous, anytime you bring up modding a car to either of them, the first thing they tell you is to stick a bottle in the trunk. They even run it on their Viper.

lots of people make shit up, who knows what he has, i have heard soo many stories of how fast cars are and what they have in them, and the people never take them to the track, or they take them to the track run a full second or more slower then they say and you never hear from them again. This world is full of bullshiters.
