Is That A Mint Supra?
The Holy Grail of 1990s Japanese sports cars just surfaced on Cars & Bids, and it’s exactly what Supra enthusiasts have been searching for. This 1997 Toyota Supra Turbo 15th Anniversary Edition comes finished in Super White with 87,990 miles on the odometer. The Carfax report shows no accidents, which is increasingly rare for a car that became a tuner icon almost immediately after production ended in 1998. This MkIV Supra is far from the BMW co-developed GR Supra of today, and it would be perfect, except for the fact that it’s an automatic.Â
Under the hood sits the legendary twin-turbo 2JZ-GTE inline-six that made the MkIV Supra a performance benchmark. Toyota rated it at 320 horsepower from the factory, but the 2JZ has proven capable of handling substantially more power with minimal internal modifications. That potential is part of what makes these cars so desirable, though this particular example remains largely stock.

A Stock MkIV Supra Is Cause To CelebrateÂ
The 15th Anniversary Edition package adds distinctive badging and upgraded features to an already well-equipped car. This example includes 17-inch factory wheels, a removable sport roof that transforms the driving experience on nice days, a rear spoiler, leather upholstery, automatic climate control, and cruise control. The original build sheet is included in the listing documentation.
The only modifications are purely practical. A Viper alarm system provides security, while an integrated battery trickle charger and disconnect help maintain battery health during storage periods. No wild turbo upgrades or questionable body kits here, just a well-maintained example of Toyota’s flagship sports car.

Not Every Day A Clean Supra With Full History Pops Up
The mechanical history shows consistent attention. The car has just had a full service in preparation for the sale. Previous Carfax records show rear shock absorber replacement, battery replacement, and sensor work. Known flaws are honest and minor. Some front-end paint chips show this car has been driven and enjoyed. The tires carry 2016 and 2017 date codes, meaning replacements are due soon.
Cars & Bids
This Super White Supra represents a chance to own a piece of automotive history that’s been properly cared for in ideal conditions. With bidding currently at $50,000, under the price of a 2026 Toyota GR Supra, this maybe your chance to get lucky. Values are continuing to climb for clean MkIV examples, especially rare 15th Anniversary Edition models, so this one deserves serious consideration, whether you’re a Supra fanboy or not.Â
