Guest Proprius_Emundo Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 Hello Thought I may as well join up on this site as currently considering selling my 2001 2dr Mk1 slightly modified Ford Focus and purchasing a Toyota Supra. I've been looking on autotrader.com for quite a while and can only say I do like what I see. Esoecially after having had a quote on insurance for £300, whereas a Nissan Skyline was well over £1k!! I know all you guys will say do it, but I'm looking for advice and also if 3litre Supras DO in fact have a heavy impact on the petrol budget!! Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian R Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 you will see quite a difference in fuel consumption compared to your focus. I never get much more than 22mpg most of the time around 18mpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian W Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 Welcome mate I would check that your quote for insurance is definitely for a mkiv supra and not a mkiii. Also, there can be differences between a UK car and jspec cars where insurance is concerned (though this depends on the insurer now i think) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomgeer Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 Welcome mate, I would fully recommend supras. A UK supra quote for me was £430 and j-spec was £915 so be aware of that before you buy, fuel costs are high too as mentioned by Ian about 18 mpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miko_supra Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 welcome!! depends on how much driving you do, i do around 2k in the supra (15-25mpg) and 10k in my runaround (40-50mpg) it works out cheaper doing this in the long run if you cover larger miles (insurance/tax etc included) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
