As far as Mustangs are concerned I have always enjoyed the feel and driveablility of my '82 Mustang GT. Yes, it is an american car and therefore will inevitably degenerate at a fairly quick pace to a rattle trap. However, are you thoroughly convinced your Supra won't? I'm not. The problem of cars deteriorating quickly is not just one the american cars have. 2. Yes, fleet lots used to be an excellent place to buy used cars, back when the companies used them 6 mos., and the sold. Now, however, the trend is to keep cars longer, up to 2 years in some cases. Obviously this yields a much more broken in (read down) car. 3. The impression I got from your letter is that you were comparing 1 yr. old Mustangs and Capris to new Supras. Given that choice, yes the new Supra would be a better decision.
