HI! i will be buying a first car soon, i want something either powerful or new and nice, latest models cost a bit alot, so older sportcars are the answer for me i think.
i was looking into like toyota supra if i come by one, or a 3000gt.
but how much does it cost to maintain them? like if something brakes down can i go to the car shop and have it fixed? or they dont carry parts for them so its going to be hard and expensive?
thanks!
Neither one of those are sports cars and they are very expensive and difficult to maintain and repair as parts are hard to come by and are expensive.
If you want a real older sports car that is cost effective, get a 87-93 Ford Mustang GT. Stock they have 225 hp and 275 ft/lbs of torque. You can get a clean one for about $5000. Spend about $3000 in upgrades and you will have an $8000 car that makes over 300hp and 325 ft/lbs of torque that will destroy any of the other two cars. It is also much cheaper and easier to repair and maintain a Stang. No vehicle ever made has more performance parts support than the Mustang, It is also cheaper to get power out of the Mustang than the other cars you mentioned.

Older cars are going to cost you a little more than newer cars, it depends on how rare the original car was. The Supra or 3000GT is not going to be a problem though as they are quite common, and probably be about 2-5% more than a standard car. The parts may have to be ordered (depending on where you go), but it’s not hard to find them.
One thing though, the two cars you suggested are going to cripple you in insurance as a new driver (you didn’t say how old you are), and they ONLY run on Super Unleaded petrol, such as Shell V-Power or BP Ultimate, so that is going to cost you more money too.

it depends older cars are more likely to break down…but just because its old doesnt mean its gonna break down…buying a car new or old is a gamble they might break down all the time you might have it for 20 years with no problems
