Buyers Guide
Vehicle History Reports
Before you buy any used Supra — especially one you've never seen in person — run a vehicle history report and read it carefully.
What to look for
- Accident history. Reported collisions, airbag deployments, and structural damage. Minor incidents aren't always dealbreakers, but they should match what the seller told you.
- Ownership count and use. How many owners, whether it was leased, rented, or used commercially, and where it was registered.
- Title status. Watch for salvage, rebuilt, flood, or lemon/manufacturer buyback brands. A branded title permanently affects value.
- Service records. Regular maintenance entries are a good sign; long gaps on a turbocharged performance car are worth asking about.
- Mileage consistency. The odometer readings should climb steadily across reported events. Rollbacks do happen.
