I test drove this car yesterday. It is the 3rd one I've seen now and easily the best so far although it was covered in greasy trim shine inside everywhere to make it look fresh.. Everything seemed to be good, no rust, no knocking, brakes are good (in the wet) but it gave me a scare when the second turbo kicked in it started fish tailing slightly. Testing in drizzle is not ideal and I'm coming from a FWD Celica that I've had for 7 years so RWD is still new to me. Currently it has no UK plates and has not yet been converted to mph but it is wax undersealed. He isn't into a part exchange on my Celica and didn't seem interested in offers, although I also know it has been for sale a long time.
This is my dilema though. What are your opinions on this? I really like this car and I've dreamed of a Supra ever since seeing one. I'm considering offering him my limit of 6k but!..
1. I have a new 5 month baby but we have a 2nd car that my wife drives.
2. The space in the back of the Supra is even less than my Celica, seats but next to no leg room. The child seat actually fits better into the Supra compared to the Celica, can you believe it!
3. The Supra will cost a bit more than the Celica to run, and at work we are yet to get a new contract after the current one expires. So bit of a job risk going on. I'm 31 and I checked my insurance which is either £500 fully comp or £400 tpft on a Jap Supra TT.
Maybe this a dream I can't really have, and I'm wondering if I should just stay with what I've got. But I really don't want a boring silver Mondeo which would be the sensible purchase My wife likes the Supra but not the practicality of it. Urgh.
