Anyway, back to the Supra. It’s clean, obviously, and under the hood is a 3.0-liter six-cylinder turbocharged 2JZ-GTE engine with 320hp and 427Nm of torque mated to a four-speed automatic transmission. The odometer indicates the unit has covered over 138,000km.
The exterior is about as pristine as they come, and the vehicle runs on 17-inch chrome wheels wrapped in Michelin Pilot Sport tires. All four wheels get disc brakes with Supra-branded calipers, and you’ll also find ‘15th Anniversary’ badging outside. The roof is removable, too—perfect if its new owner prefers to take in the open air while they’re behind the wheel.

Inside, the cabin is covered in nice black leather, and entertainment is kept old-school via a CD/cassette stereo setup. Based on the images provided in the listing, this unit almost looks like it could’ve just rolled out of a dealership.
