Default First car.

So its time to start looking at cars(about to turn 18). Ever since the first nfs underground came out I have wanted a metallic black supra with the stock wing or no wing, don't know why but fuck I'm addicted. So I would like the opinions of those that have spent little/alot on their first car, I know everyone's different but just to help me decide.

Most I'm willing to spend is 20k, I personally don't want to buy a car for 2-3k only to have to spend more on it when it fucks up/do it up.

I live in Melbourne and know about the road rules but i figure if i follow the rules I can break a few without them noticing ie turbo and other performance mods. So I guess id be in for about 6-7k on a big single turbo?

Cars I'm looking at:

1994 TOYOTA SUPRA JZA80 Private Cars For Sale in VIC - carsales.com.au

1994 TOYOTA SUPRA JZA80 Private Cars For Sale in VIC - carsales.com.au

1994 TOYOTA SUPRA Private Cars For Sale in VIC - carsales.com.au Winning thus far

1993 TOYOTA SUPRA Private Cars For Sale in VIC - carsales.com.au

Personal taste aside what do you think would be the better choice.
TL;DR

u will get raped sideways with a turbo on your read p's.
Then you if you get caught again coz u will its a supra you lose your licence because you will have no demerits left. Hate to burst your bubble but maybe learn to drive b4 you go get a car with a decent amount of power. Im only telling you for your own good but you have probably already made up your mind up

Finally someone who gave sufficient info when asking for advice.

Dude, just buy a NA Supra if you like the look and dont risk getting caught. In the end it has enough power to do things that prepare you for a more powerful car and you dont have to care about how you mod it because even if you draw attention you are not driving an illegal car on your P's.

There are plenty of them around.

edit : If youre willing to part from the idea of buying a Supra consider a CA18 Silvia, much lighter car + cheaper.

Of those 4, I'd only keep these two on the list, this is without taking into consideration of personal tastes, just on bang for buck , and by following used car purchasing rules.

Yeah it pisses me off when people expect a good answer and all they give you is peanuts. But yeah I might just go with the non turbo until I'm off my P's

Seriously but.. NA Supra would be nothing to sneeze at anyway.

I have a 91 Nissan pulsar hatchback.. piece of shit? yes.

Thing is it is in fairly good condition, cost was minimal off a friend of dads and goes well on petrol. Weak as piss and alright to learn on.

Would love to upgrade but have some saving to do first.

Supra looks much better than an SSS and there's alot of headroom.

who gives a shit when its your first car? when the girls realise you have a POS that pulls like a freight train you'll wonder why you even bothered.

Unless you're that superficial that you need to have a sporty car rather than performance for even your first car.
SSS is plenty of room for all the *ahem* necessities, a decent size backseat too

I can confirm you can drive THE WORST car in the world, and still pull chicks, if chicks are what your all about, just get some pos manual car and a stereo. Then burn 20 usher cd's and 20 craig david cd's and your set, go cruising

Why would I buy a car to pick up? I buy a car for my preference and if ANYONE is going to say a Pulsar SSS looks better than a Supra, you must be retarded.

I didn't mean headroom by actual space inside the cabin, I meant under the hood. Sure its his first car, doesn't mean he cant keep it and when hes on his fulls whack on a turbo and what not. As long as he can take real good care of it now, there is no reason the car wont last him easy 5 years.





Obvious choice. My next car is purchased on the basis of what I want, not to pull chicks.

You will definitely die if you get a big single supra for your first car.

The reason supras are good
is the 2JZ in them hence they can handle a huge single turbo

my advice is not spend 20k on your first car as you will be inexperienced and will more than likely crash it especially if its a powerful car

and if you plan on insuring it it will cost more as well because you're a p plater

could just buy a half decent car like 5k or something and then keep saving and get a good powerful car when you have full license?
