When i 1st saw it on autotrader, it was up for £13k!!! so my dad called as he was helping me out with a lil bit of the money! and knocked him down to £11500 before organising a viewing! when i was actually looking at it (with the biggest disopointed face!) i said "i dunno how much you paid for it but i wouldnt pay more than £10k as a customer let alone a dealership" coz i beleive they didnt import it they bought it from an importer! Dont hold me to that though but im pretty sure thats what he and my dad were chatting about! TBH the whole thing was a let down..customer service i dont think they have herd of! When i got there (at the arranged time and a few calls as we were on our way) well they werent there!!! we waited near on 1 and a 1/2 hours for them to turn up with me calling every 10mins for them to say on the phone "be there in 10 mins i promise" every 10 mins i called! His partber FINALY came opened up and said "there it is" pointing at it! and went streight in his mobile and stood there in silence!!!! Now with the will to spend £11500 i expect the car to be started moved away from the wall into the middle of his unit and talk me though it but no just "there is it" and..............silence.... lol

yer the worse thing with about the boot lid is during idle! is flaps like a moe foe! lol. i was in the "im here now with the cash" thing so i really didnt know what to do. but my dad said "what ever u deside i will suport" i came back into his car after pondering for 2 hours or so about it! and I said "no im not having it i will regret it" and he said "Paul u have made the rite choice! I wasnt goin to tell you what to think nor what to deside but that car was as complete mess, well done. I know how picky u are and everytime u wash that u will dislike it more and more coz of the condtion, i know how hard it was to say no after travelling this far to say no but im proud u arent getting it" (my old man was a bit of a lege that day) lol Paul

Hi all. Ok as ya do, i was having browser seeing what supras are for sale...see what parts are lingering around the net etc... I came accross a car on e-bay that i was goin to buy and drive home in! Now the reason for me not buying the car in the AWFUL condtion it was in, that the pics hide very well! Its purely the the terriable paint work thats really lets this car down!!! The paint has crazed all over the car meaning the paint lifts in 2 areas making a slpit about 3 - 4 inchs long in the middle of the lift! Paint has lifted and bubbled up on the front bumper 2 wheels are BADLY curbed, one so much that it looks like when u put a knife into butter and soop it (sorry best way to describe it) swirl marks on the boot dash has 3 drilled holes defi boost gauge doesnt work no hydrolic lifters for the boot There was a few other things aswell that are not coming to me right now. HERE IS THE CAR!! http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1998-TOYOTA-SUPRA-RZ-S-TWIN-TURBO-MANUAL-VVTI_W0QQitemZ140329253714QQcmdZViewItemQQptZAutomobiles_UK?hash=item20ac467b52&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=65%3A3%7C66%3A2%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318%7C301%3A1%7C293%3A1%7C294%3A50 Im not saying dont bid, nor dont be interested, This could be the car for you....I thought it was for me with my hopes up for 2 months of looking at pics! But PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE view the car b4 bidding! Im telling you from my exprience! They are saying "Absolutely Immaculate" buts its far from it unless they have had it fully rubbed down and resprayed! So if they have had that done in the past few weeks!! As the guys told me on here take your time, look around, speak to people and wait for the rite car! i did and have come out with a stunner thanks to Jurgan at JM Imports and every ones advice! Hope i have helped in some way! All the best! Paul

ok thanks for the advice, i didnt know were wether people would think im being a ass, but just wanna make new buyers do what u all told me...look around....wait for the rite car.... Paul

what area should i post it in?

Hay guys. ok on a website there is a Supra for sale! i personaly was goin to buy it, took the cash and everything (look at my previus posts, possiably my 1st) and the ouside condition was a STATE! Now the importer selling it is saying "Absolutely Immaculate" but its really isnt! the paint is crazed alllll over! and WILL NEED A RESPARY!!! And the interior isnt great! Now by linking the site... is that out of order trying to help a supra buyer and to to say a word of warning to look at the car before bidding? I just dont want some 1 to be as disopointed as i was when i went all the way to so see and and what i thought id be driving home in. Advantage is i had a choice to buy it unlike the poor bugger that will have to buy coz they have won the bidding on e-bay. Advice? Thanks Paul

ah nice one mate

Toyota Supra MKIV Toyota Bilstein Sports Suspension This full suspension set came off my MK4 Toyota Twin Turbo. They all seem in nice condition except the rear outer rubber gators have worn, but do not affect the ride. Shocks are springs are in good working order and will bolt right into any JZA80 Supra. Before JM Imports removed them they told me the ride was nice and smooth with the suspension. These are a set of 4 for the front and rear, and what you see of the suspension you will get. Any questions feel free to ask. Thanks Paul Ebay item number: 160342785902 (copy and paste that into ebay search) Starting bid : £99
