    Default Hmm, should I trade 87 Supra for 92 Miata..

    I have a 87 Supra Turbo that needs some work 124k mi (exhaust leak, other minor things), I have an offer of a 1992 Miata.. with 65k mi
    both cars dont have ac/air, both are 5spd

    so, what you think? just curious
    (or wait to trade for something else.. did test drive it..not bad at all)

    Good move on the move... since I cant POST in any other forums... nor reply to my own...

    My car :

    Miata:

    Reason: im either selling or trading the MKIII, its more of a "project", but I decided against it. Test drove the Miata, not bad, reminds me of my Celica (00 GT)

    aka: Supra been sitting around for about a year now, so Im thinking its time for a change...(or $)


    (and I still cant reply to my own thread :/)
    another possible offer was a 95 camaro (v6 auto) but ehh...
    if the sell falls through, imma try to grab that miata

    first this isnt a technical question, so it doesnt belong in general tech. moved.

    second, post pics of cars, but i'm almost poisitive i'd keep the mark 3. no matter what the miata looks like.

    It could actually be either way which is why I put it where I did. Later, QD.

    Trade, you won't regret it after you start modding the Miata.

    Asmuch as i want to say trade the mazda... id stick with the supra. if you have had it for so long, and have fixed things. You might as well keep it..and keep going. But the trade wouldnt be a bad move... from what i hear those supras have problems.

    Trade it. Probably more reliable and cheaper to modify and repair. Besides, change is good sometimes.

    The miata is cheaper to own, cheaper and easier to repair, more reliable, probably worth more and easier to sell later.

    And now that I read that that miata has 65k miles, TAKE THE OFFER AND RUN
