Son Sells Dad’s 32-Year-Old Toyota Supra to Buy a New Cadillac Escalade

"My father always took impeccable care of this car," said the son, who recently parted ways with his father's cherished 32-year-old Toyota Supra to embrace the luxury of a brand-new Cadillac Escalade SUV.

Smart consumerism involves trading in an item for something newer and more valuable without significantly increasing costs, ideally at the same price or with a small profit. This principle applies even to sentimental family heirlooms. For instance, a 1993 Toyota Supra Turbo, cherished for 32 years by one family, recently found a new owner.

The story begins over three decades ago when a man drove a 1993 Toyota Supra Turbo off the showroom floor. Fast forward to 2025, and after 32 years of single ownership, his son decided to sell it.

This Supra served as the man’s daily driver until he could no longer drive. “My father took impeccable care of this car,” explained the son, who sold the 1993 Toyota Supra Turbo for nearly the price of a new Cadillac Escalade. His decision to sell was likely influenced by the desire for a luxurious 7-seat SUV.

The Toyota Supra gained renewed fame through its appearances in the Fast and Furious franchise as Brian O’Connor’s iconic car. Initially a rusted relic from a junkyard, it was restored by Dominic Toretto and his crew, eventually outracing a Ferrari F355 Spider in a street race.

However, that was a 1994 model, painted in vibrant orange with a “Nuclear” design. This 1993 Supra, on the other hand, features a Renaissance Red exterior with a beige interior. This Japanese classic sports 17-inch wheels and a rear spoiler.

The Toyota Supra Mk4 A80 is powered by a robust 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged inline-six 2JZ-GTE engine. According to U.S. specifications, it delivers 320 horsepower and 315 pound-feet of torque, accelerating from 0 to 60 mph in 4.6 seconds.

The fourth-generation Supra debuted with distinctive pop-up headlights, similar to the Mazda MX-5 Miata NA, instantly becoming a favorite among tuners. Enthusiasts have pushed its power output to over 1,000 horsepower using E85 fuel.

This particular model retains the stock 3.0-liter inline-six engine, with no power or torque upgrades. A 6-speed Getrag manual transmission, revolutionary for its time, delivers power to the rear wheels, offering a raw driving experience typical of early 1990s sports cars.

The only modification is an aftermarket hands-free kit. The original leather seats were reupholstered at some point. The odometer reads 60,700 miles, indicating this Supra was more than just a garage ornament.

Features include power-adjustable driver’s seat, power windows, and central locking, along with cruise control and automatic climate control—impressive for a 1993 model.
