A quick bump to say that I will consider p-ex's. Looking for 10k+ and another car. Would accept a stock manual or bpu Supe, or even a turbo diesel as that's what I would end up running around in anyways (a Golf GT TDI is my fave, but A4, BMW, Leon types will do).

Bloody good deal IMO. I bet there a good number of guys thinking about taking you up on that offer of yours, Jay - what a great way of getting in to a top-spec single:)

Cheers Andrew, got a guy coming this weekend, wants to p-ex a MR2 Turbo (which I will be happy with as a daily runner).

 

I'll direct him to this site as I told him the info here is invaluable.

Well I've just informed the guy that was interested that I cannot come to selling the car, I've directed him towards a couple similar priced better cars :D

 

I feel a bit sh1t about letting him down, it's getting tedious for everyone, but selling this car is not easy, I said to Jurgen, I would rather make a snap decision & get rid of it in 5 mins, when it drags out I change my mind.

 

Probably the "thing" that did it was I was out yesterday in the Corsa, a big bike was all over the @rse of every car on the motorway, when it cleared he gave it some & I thought, "if I had the Supe I'd be all over him like a rash", I'm not going to get that in a 360 or a Vantage & I dunno if I can handle that just yet.

 

Again sorry to anyone affected,

 

Jay

Jay, that's good news. I've gone to so much trouble so I can keep mine whilst I go back and study but I've got to say, I really should have sold her.

 

I think you've made the right decision. There isn't another car quite like the Supra, and there isn't likely going to be one in the near future. Enjoy it :)

I tried calling you jay , i test drove a vantage and AM d9 , it is luxury and really quiet ,it it has poke , but i was waiting for that sensation when i hit 3000rpm , it was not there . even thought they are lovely cars , they just didnt seem that quick . i gave it some on the motorway with the sales rep inside and he thought it was extremly fast , i was guted on how slow it was , and this was the DB9 !! the looks and the comfort is all there , but the performance isnt there at all ..... for £52,000 , i felt very let down .

 

Also servicing cost , how about this :

 

interim service- oil change , filter - £650 + v.a.t

 

full service - pads / plugs /oil /filters /fuel filter / -£2300

 

cam belt change £1200

 

new exhaust system , cat back £2700

 

this is compared to a ferrari servicing cost ..... ouch

 

I think if it wasent for the noise the supra makes, i would keep it . Iam thinking about changing the exhaust system for a more quite one now. But ill see as there is a bloke arrive from denmark today to have a look at it an buy it ....:(

yes that my fall back plan if the white one goes and i dont find another car.. its about 60% ready , just waiting for the bodyshop to fit it in on 3rd september, then get it tuned. Sorry i didnt get back to you about the exhaust bracket, i could not find it on the car or off it.

 

I dont think myself and jay are ever going to get any car that performs as good as the supra unless we spend over £100,000. The worse thing is there is so much more power to come from it. On one side it scared the shit out of me on the other side is the other cars dont give me the same feeling .
