regret!

rttrx7 · 01-24-2017, 05:25 PM

I sold my FD back in 2005, due to needing the some quick cash, it was paid off. I have regretted selling it ever since. Since then I have owned several performance/sporty cars, even a new 2011 2SS/RS Camaro Convertible. But none of these cars flipped my Switch like the FD. It was the most fun car to drive I have ever owned. Their reliability sucks!, but they reward in oh so many other ways. I am 70-yrs old now, and would like to own another one before I leave here. I am looking for a fairly low mileage touring model, with very few modifications, just mods to make it more reliable. Have been shopping on line, and some of the asking prices are astronomical! There's one out there somewhere that will fall into my price range.

Welcome! Good luck in your searches, the 3rd gen market isn't in the Supra price range yet so you should be able to find one fairly easy.

Yea, you are going to pay some money for a low mileage touring model.

Welcome back and good luck with finding your FD. I've contemplated selling mine a few times, but every time I see a post like this or talk to someone such as yourself, it makes me happy I haven't, because I know I'd be in the same boat haha.
