Guest joph Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 Hi, I am a newbie to this forum, although I havent got a Supra yet its defo in the pipeline, I'm just doing my research. Will be looking for a twin turbo though as its seems the best solution for me. I would like to know a little bit more on the maintenance side of things, running costs, but more importantly the servicing and upkeep, so that the car will run without any probs. Also local servicing specialists, and local part dealers for the future. I currently live in Letchworth/Hertfordshire. Any advice much appreciated.... Cheers Joph Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benzsupra Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 Hi Have a root around in here and you'll find answers to all your question's (even some of the non car related ones lol) The prices vary on parts and garages used really. I do most of my own which keeps the cost down but it's still a pricey car, Worth every penny though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R Black Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 Hi & welcome, you wont regret it, and if you get a good one it should be very reliable as they were seemingly over engineered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter P Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 Hello mate. You're not far from where I used to live and where Steve L is based (near Saffron Walden but I have a son in Royston, Herts). We use Paul Whiffin over at Enfield (sounds far but is about an hour at the worst!) and Darren does all the spanner work with superb results. Check them out at: http://www.whifbitz.co.uk Servicing is pretty reasonable provided you start with the right car so read up and print the buyers guide from the following link and post up any questions here as plenty of knowledge at the ready! https://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/forumdisplay.php?f=60 You can e-mail or call Paul/Daz and they should be able to give you some ideas on costs but most of the bits are priced up on the website. Best of luck with the purchase, you won't regret it! Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
