It is true that it will be difficult to find one in good condition for under 1500, but I have been looking for a long time and have seen many in acceptable condition, or with very minor problems. It is possible but you should expect minor mishaps. Now would be a good time to since its winter. I would suggest checking autotrader and ebay I found alot on autotrader. Also I would suggest trying to bargain down a seller. I just recently bought my supra last wednesday, and I got an amazing deal. Mine is a 1990 turbo targa 5-speed. I got it for 2000 and its worth almost or more than 4000. Its got 130k miles and is perfect mechanically. It shifts like a dream and has no defects aside from worn leather seats. All it needs now is new tires. Thats a perfect example of findin a good deal. You just gotta search alot. Good luck.
