gaz1 Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 check out the for sale threads here, they are usualy very well looked after, cj has a nice 97 model for sale at a great price;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supraturbochris Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 the car looks good mate. All i would do is take them stickers off if your going to buy it. Just look for the usual stuff when viewing, smoke etc. There is some nice supra's on here that have been well looked after. welcome anyways mate!!!

magictorch Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 Wheels look like a Volk Racing GTN's to me, think they retail around £1200 new... Probably worth a bit depending on condition and sizes/offsets etc;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooter Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 quick question dont know if anyone can tell what they are but would anyone hazzard a guess at how much i could sell the wheels for if i bought it as there a bit too "bling" for me:p thanks! you'd need to get wheel specs and tyre condition to get an accurate price, but if they are the Volks you should get £500+ for them relatively easily i'd have thought........ when you say too bling would you be looking for some standard alloys to replace them or a different sort of aftermarket wheel in mind?

miles Posted March 14, 2008 Author Share Posted March 14, 2008 id probably be looking to get some other aftermarket alloys but unsure atm as im not sure what style i want? im pretty keen on these type but would have to save for a bit i think. http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=143375 the guy said that the wheels were in good condition but one of the tyres would need replacing in the near future?

tooquicktostop Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 I would say with the state of the market for Supras at the moment you should wait and look a little more until you find the perfect car for yourself, having to change wheels and remove stickers is a PITA if they are not for you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveR Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 As suggested above, I would seriously consider CJ's facelift auto NA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hondaboy Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 You'll get a better one from here, there is/was a nice red n/a for sale a little while back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guigsy Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 agreed. CJs car looks great. and its a facelift too. and a bargain to boot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 The car looks rough as hell. Find a nice un-abused example would be my advice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homer Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 Looks like a chaved up POS to me There are much nicer ones are out there for similar if not slightly more money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miles Posted March 15, 2008 Author Share Posted March 15, 2008 i was looking at cj's one on pistonheads the other day(think its the same one?) looks mint but im really looking for a manual. I mean im not definatley going to buy this one im just going to view it to get an idea on it, the only thing is i dont have a very big budget around 3k unfortunatley which wont get me a minter but hopefully something not too bad that i can work on and make a bit nicer. im hoping this one hasnt sold because its not really to everyones taste and people think its too much effort to take all the bits off?

Guigsy Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 never rule out the auto. its not like your average auto. i went froma NA 5 speed to a TT auto and thaught id get it swapped out. but i love my auto now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miles Posted March 16, 2008 Author Share Posted March 16, 2008 well went to look at that supra today. NOooo good. first thing i noticed when i got there was that one of the spats was hanging off and had managed to collect half a trees worth of leaves in it! Both rear panels had holes in where the spats had been held on with screws??? The interior wasnt that bad but not that good. The guy took me out for a spin in it and it seemed pretty decent but the heater wasnt warming up? Got back to his and it looked like the car was on fire! steam everywhere, opened the bonnet and just heard hissing. Turns out the car had next to no water in it. So i am still supraless the hunt continues! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
