to be fair you can still get em off old folks got mine 153k miles blown headgasket for $500 and had $1000 invested (with labor) and its been a great car for me (was my first) its a nice cruiser for cheap if you know were to look

i understand that this is comedy and that the posts are some shitboxes, but i think cressidas can be pretty cool. Got one a month or so ago and am restoring it to mostly stock plus some bits and bobs here and there. Fun and easy car to work on and okay power potential. I'd say that the main drawback as far as performance goes is the lack of tuning capability in its stock config. overall I think it's pretty underrated, especially the mx73 generation. As long as it's tasteful modification I really see no problems. (p.s. no i don't advocate for the slammed stance boys who beat the cars to death.)

[@anthonyrooks7557]

Love a cressida and I love what people do to them. They're sooooo dope looking.

[@kj64gaming19]

A guy in my area had one of these on FB Marketplace with a 1UZ-FE and manual swap, was asking 15K and sold it for 15K. It was the cleanest Cressida I'd ever seen, it wasnt even built for drift or for stance, just for the idea of a 1UZ Cressida.

[@anydaynow01]

1UZs sound sick, would totally do that swap over a 2J considering it puts out more than enough power for fun shenanigans.

[@BjorkensteinvanJurgenheim]

I just bought a 1UZ swapped cressida and am looking at doing a manual swap. Can confirm they are a lot of fun and makes all the right noises. I paid 10K AUD for it, which is cheaper than anything else that could be considered fun in my area.

[@tb813allday9]

Coming from the 2jz community and SCs/Supras years ago before all these drop in kits a 1j/2j was a very easy swap for a drop in 500+hp. Today is a different story and more would probably want to keep them stock and refresh

[@3bdbd15]

Finnaly some1 talks abut the CRESSIDA. this car is really popular her in Saudi arabia ppl love it so much, that they impoert from america for the (7ME) engine that came in the supra mk3, cuz the saudi spec came in the (5ME) wich is I6 2.8L, a lot of them been tune up to 500+hp

[@rushnerd]

Speaking as an owner of an 88' NA Supra, these Cressidas must be a ton of fun (if they are cared for and the 7M-GE headgasket issue is corrected). Say what you want about it, but I can't imagine having that engine in a sedan car. These things have to be a complete blast to drive.

[@piggmotorsport]

I love my MX83 such an underrated car for the cost.

[@MrJuanv08]

I owned 3 of these back before Covid. I got them for 330, 400, and 500 bucks. All of them grandma spec with blown head gaskets. Yes it’s easy to swap in a JZ engine. They were cool because they were sleepers and almost free to get. Spend the rest of your money on a JDM turbo JZ and r154 for about 5k if you’re cheap and 8-10k total for a real nice swap and tune. Of course all before COVID and drift tax.

[@Senecasegments]

I feel like these cressidas are really misunderstood, and everyone seeing just a cheap driftcar in them. I personally really like these cars, especially the x30 and the x7 generation. Also a perfect kaido racer base

[@sunshinez-2017]

ive had 2 x80s with 7ms got em both for less than $1000 i 100% agree

[@kevinmonahan2820]

I bought my cressida in like 2016 for 1600 running and driving, just getting around to 2j swapping it now cause had a few more kids and bought my first house in that time. Luckily i got in before the drifttax got to a premium and i even got my non vvti 2j and r154 right before covid happened so both of those prices have at least doubled since then

[@kevinmonahan2820]

For the swap with stock suspension still I'm gonna be in 12k including the price of the car

[@tommynobaka]

The title is true, I 1jz swapped my Cressida before it was cool to have a jzx and it cost me everything. Mind you this was when you could get turbo jz's for $1800 all day and it still cost me my life savings to tune and buy new sensors. This doesn't take into account tires, suspension and chassis mods

I had a nice stock '87 Cressida wagon when I lived in San Diego circa 2012, got it for $1800 and that's about all I'd want to pay for one, though I'm sure a similar condition one would now go for about 10k if you could even find one. It was reliable transportation that I thought looked sleek and unique, but honestly there was nothing amazing about the car or platform. Lots of nifty luxury features like light-sensing headlights that were probably amazing in 1987, but it was fairly slow and handling was mid by today's standards. Hauled a LOT of big stuff in it, from engine blocks to lumber. Eventually sold it to some old Toyota nut for $1000 after it failed smog, and got a manual '97 Escort Wagon that was probably quicker. Those old 5 & 7-MGE engines were reliable but weak. I miss it for its practicality but nothing else. I think a lowering kit would've ruined it.

Cressida tax is so hard to watch. These are cheap as compared to Australia. Manual swap any of these and they're fun. Which why they're getting so fucking pricey these days. Fucking oath the first thing I'd swap my R31 wagon for would be a good condition white X70 with red interior and a manual swap. Also straight up that white X83 with the 2J probably sold for 10K or more. That's a fucking good deal these days for a running car 2JZGTE.

I like the cressida mainly for it being a boxy 80s sedan. I don't care that you can do whatever with it, I just like bricks. However with the money some of these dumbasses want for their cressidas you could probably import a decent Laurel and have fun with that.

"I've made modifications to the car so now it's worth more" Someone has to explain this mentality to me, 9/10 times modifications are shit you have to undo at additional cost. Think about it, even if you wanted to modify the car you're usually going to be wanting to remove what's already been done so you can do your thing - now with the added complication of shit not being stock and mystery gremlins popping up allover the place. Why would you pay extra from a clapped out, POS soonbox when the same car can be had for less and in more desirable condition?
