I know it’s a bit early, but I’ve wanted an MKV since 2020. It’s my dream first sports car. Right now, I’m still paying off a used 2022 Tacoma I got for $25K, but down the road, I really want to get a Supra. Since this might be the last run for the Supra, I want to be ready. What do you guys think are the most important things to check when buying one used? My biggest concern is ending up with one that was tracked hard and then sold off. For now, I’m planning to buy only from Toyota dealerships when the time comes.
Keeping up with regular maintenance is key. The B58 engine is solid, but it needs some care to keep it running right.

What do you mean by care?

Just taking care of it properly—oil changes, fluid checks, and not skipping maintenance.

Got it, thanks! I’m a bit out of touch with all this stuff.
If you can, get a manual. It feels like a totally different car compared to the automatic.
Like others have said, regular maintenance is everything. The B58 is a strong engine, but it needs proper oil changes. If it’s been taken care of, you shouldn’t have issues. Depending on the mileage, check if the spark plugs, filters, and transmission fluid have been changed. The transmission fluid isn’t as big of a deal, but it’s something to be aware of.
