JamieS Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 Hi everyone, How's everybody doing? I don't have a Supra yet, but have been looking for a while now. Plenty of really lovely one's about, especially on here but I'm looking for a UK spec. And to make things even more complicated, it can't have any engine mods, body kits etc are fine, but the insurers don't like any performance mods. I've tried A Plan, Sky, Aon etc and they all say no, or want silly money. Any UK Spec owners fancy selling me their car? Pretty please? (worth a try!) Not too bothered about whether it's auto or manual, or the colour really, after all beggars can't be choosers. I would like less than 100k on the clock though. Anyway, just thought I should say hi. Thanks Jamie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamieS Posted May 2, 2008 Author Share Posted May 2, 2008 Thanks for the welcomes. Budgets around 10k, but I'm sure I can find a little more if the right car comes along. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbonut Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 Welcome Jamie With that sort of budget you shouldnt have trouble with a stock UK TT price wise but an unmolested version is a rare beast. Manual or auto btw? Manual's are even rarer Good luck with your search Linda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manual or auto btw? Manual's are even rarer Good luck with your search Linda Ideally manual, but I can live with an auto. I was going to see a lovely black manual with 65k on it a few weeks ago, spoke to the guy on a Tuesday, but he was a few hundred miles away, so I couldn't go and see it until Saturday. He'd sold it by Thursday Then there was another one, manual, 80k, storm blue. Too many engine mods. Hopefully it's just a matter of time. Alex - I'll pass, thanks for the offer though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamieS Posted May 6, 2008 Author Share Posted May 6, 2008 I was wondering how long the 'saxo' comments would take to start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest poodle Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 its a personal problem i have, i think its the area i live in so there are plenty of stereotypes here. Saxos and subarus everywhere and a large quantity of starlets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieS Posted May 6, 2008 Author Share Posted May 6, 2008 No need to take it out on me though I can't justify spending £2k+ on insurance. So I'm planning on getting a standard UK spec, and keeping it that way, no expense spared. So if you've any idea where I might find one...

Guest poodle Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 insurance ive found is very random, one day u can get a quote and getting the same quote the next day you may drop £200 i also find my insurance is massivly cheaper if i were to move 5 miles down the road. Which reminds me im awaiting sky insurance and a-plan to call me back so i can get quoted. Im lucky that im cracking on in the years now which certainly helps however even 1.5 years ago i was getting quoted 1.2k insurance on a GPX FTO, one of the reasons im not getting another fto is the fact that i pay the same insurance for one as a supra. Ive also noted that for me at least there is not a lot of difference between a jspec and uk supra, its possibly the bad postcode i have the BB for blackburn has a lot to answer for even though im 50 mins drive away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
