mikyrc Posted March 12, 2005 Author Share Posted March 12, 2005 You guys won't believe this! I went to the toyota dealer in my town and asked them if they could call the toyota garage that the previous owner used to go and ask for the condition of the car, repairings... and things like this. So the man called and they told him that this car suffered an accident and that the previous owner bought it after it was repaired and he ordered the two airbags (because of the accident the airbags activated and they had to be replaced) but never went to the dealer for them. Now i do understand why the car is in that shape!!! The two airbags where never replaced so the guy just cut the bag and glued the covers back in place (that's why i told you they looked very old) Now i know why the roof was dent and with the paint falling and why the bumper wasn't attached at one side. Man, thanks God i didn't buy it!! Even do the guy was giving it to me for 20.000 euros. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikyrc Posted March 12, 2005 Author Share Posted March 12, 2005 What do you think about those? I think that the two first ones are a scams or swindles (too cheap to be true), the third one i don't know if is LHD or RHD.

supRo Posted March 18, 2005 Share Posted March 18, 2005 Yep, definitely walk away especially beacause of the Enya CD playing on the stereo! If the 'clonking' sound from the gear change is coming from the middle of the car, which you can feel the vibration slightly (sometimes) - that's quite normal. I had been looking for a Supra for about 6 months till I bought one..general rule, if the seller has not bothered to clean the car or tidy it up - walk away unless it's very cheap. The right one will come. Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Need4Speed Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 The soft brakes will probably be fine if you bleed and change pads. Supras are so much more expensive on mainland EU! I saw one at 25,000€ in France - ouch! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
