SkinnBa Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 SOLD Over the years I've read numerous posts car forums about people selling their pride and joy to fund a house purchase, sadly this is now the case with me. The Supra has always been my dream car since I saw the mkiii version in the 80's as a kid, sadly it's now time for someone else to enjoy this awesome piece of engineering. I purchased the car from Whifbitz in September 2006, it was a fresh import at the time and I've only covered about 4,000 miles since then. The car came in with approx 70,000km on it and I've covered about 4,000, so the total mileage is in the region of 47,500. The car now counts in miles but the kms on it haven’t been converted. The car sounds great and drives great – it always feels very “planted” on the road and drives straight. I don't drive like a nutter so rest assured that while she's been in my ownership she's been looked after very well.....I even managed 27 MPG during an "off boost" run! I've got a runaround for the commute so the Supra sits in the garage all week, because of this I've managed to keep stone chips and car park dings to a minimum, in fact there are no dings at all, but a few minor stone chips on the low front bumper. The car really shines when washed and waxed, I used a paint rubber the car last year and it came up like glass! - See pictures below. Some have questioned the spec of this car, a garage I take mine to have driven lots over the years but they reckon that this one is very quick indeed, a few other people have commented on the sound saying the engine can’t be standard. I don’t know about this as I haven’t driven any others, I’m selling the car as per spec below….. Any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me, car is located in Braintree, Essex. I’m looking for £10,250.

New water pump and thermostat. New washer jets (Lexus ones). New o2 sensor. New battery. Bad bits (at the end of every for sale ad!): The exhaust sits very close to the bumper and you can hear it tap against the bumper on low speed manoeuvres (mini-roundabouts and speed bumps), the rest of the time it's ok. Front brake pads move very slightly in the calipers and clunk a bit on badly surfaced roads, nothing to worry about, just a bit annoying.

dangerous brain Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 How strange with no spoiler and that diffuser and colour combo the car looks short wheel based. Nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
