TTA Questions

T

Turbobird

Hello everyone, My first time here, just found your board from turbobuick.com. Anyway, I have a few questions regarding TTA's. I currently drive a '93 RX-7 TT. I really love this car, but it seems like more and more often having a two seater is beconing a problem. After playing with the turbo motor in our Sunbird, I started thinking about something 3.8 turbo powered. I really would like to still drive something relativly agile, and well, like a sports car. And the TTA seems as close as I am going to get. So I am seriously considering trading/selling my RX-7 to get a TTA. Does any one know of a TTA owner in the South Fla area(miami, Ft Lauderdale) I want to see if I can go for a ride in one to see what I think of it. Also in getting one, is there any areas I would need to be especially dilligent in checking out?? Do they have any known problems? I know the 3.8 is a pretty durable motor, so what abou the rest of the car? Also how can one verify that the car is a real TTA, I realize the engine is a pretty good give away, but it can also be put in a TA if one wants to bad enough (I know, because the 3.8 in the sunbird was NOT a drop in). I'd ask what one should pay for one, but I know what a can of worms that question is. You have a nice BB here! I looked around a while, and was impressed.
Thank you for your help.
Jay

As far as determining if its a real TTA, look for the PAS sticker on the drivers door, and run the VIN# on this site, http://www.li.net/~rsalerno/ttahome.htm
to find out what build sequence number it is.
Can also run the VIN thru carfax and it will tell you its a turbo car. There a '7' in the 8th or 9th?? digit of the VIN for the TTA.

as far as your question of price goes, the TTA's generally go for about 10K for a high mileage descent shape car to about 22K for a nearly perfect car with almost no miles (like 500 miles) but on the average you can pick up a good car with around 40 to 60K for around $14,000. Hope this helps

anyone dissagree??
 
I agree. Just hope I can find the exception though. I'd like to find one with around 5k-20k in near mint cond. with all the extras for less than $15g. I know, I'm not asking for much.
