gaz1 Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 depends what sort of car your used to, and what your plans are with it, will you be looking for a lot more power through modifying it, or do you plan to keep stock, are you used to auto,s and prefer them over the 6 speed box, there are a lot of bargains around at this time of the year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

generalunrest Posted January 6, 2008 Author Share Posted January 6, 2008 thanks for the above... I am looking for an auto, fairly stock, as it has to go through the french tests for registration here...I would be doing a BPU at some later stage ..but it will never go above 400bhp the GZ is on ebay now.. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Toyota-Supra-3-0-GZ-TT-Facelift-Stunning-Example_W0QQitemZ170182676979QQihZ007QQcategoryZ18290QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem the VVTI' are both in the classified section on this site... I am really wondering about the VVTI + tiptronic+higher milage vs the lower milage non VVTI ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaz1 Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 seriously mate check out all the cars in our forsale section, your more likely to get a car that has been looked after by a member than ebay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hiten55 Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 and if it were me, id check them all out. but, id go for the higher mileage vvti over the non vvti. but thats just me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am really wondering about the VVTI + tiptronic+higher milage vs the lower milage non VVTI ... Forget it bud. There's only £2000 difference between all 3 cars Both the VVTI's are excellent cars. Don't worry about the mileage either. These cars go for big mileage without a problem. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
generalunrest Posted January 6, 2008 Author Share Posted January 6, 2008 excellent..!! thanks, gaz heh both those vvti's are the ones i want to try out ..and Andy thats exactly what i was asking about...thanks again... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merckx Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 Here's another nice VVTI, reduced to 11,500. http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=124303 I wouldn't let the mileage influence your decision too much. The condition of the car and whether or not you feel that the present owner is trustworthy or not is far important for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

generalunrest Posted January 7, 2008 Author Share Posted January 7, 2008 AGHHH ... after much research about french rules for importing...it now seems that the easiest route to go down is with a UK spec TT, as it has the COC required for an easy-ish re-registration in france....its an absolute nightmare to try and get a japanese import re-registered over here...involving long and expensive tests..... so ... I am now looking frantically for a UK spec car.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
