jazz1 Posted September 21, 2008 Author Share Posted September 21, 2008 you have to see which one you like really, this cars handles lovley plus for the price i payed iv also got 1 years warranty. You have to search theres loads of great priced porsches out there. I would of bought the top spec one for 40k but that would of meant selling the supra, which i could not do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Class One Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 I'm thinking of getting an e46 M3, but that does look very nice and I'm wondering if the porsche wouldn't be a better buy. I can't spend more than 20k though so I'm guessing that wouldnt get me much of a porsche? Can't stand the boxter. With £20k you could handpick a 996 for that money. Go look on PH, the market is awash with them and their prices are in freefall. Choose wisely though, there are alot of lemons out there. Don't forget though, this was a car that cost £60k new, and with it comes maintainence costs. As said by Gazboy, the RMS is prone to failure on the 3.6 and there were cylinder liner issues on the earlier 3.4 and when they go wrong will cost you an arm & leg to fix.Provenance is everything with these cars, and if it hasn't got the right stamps in the book or been serviced by an OPC or respected specialist, then you could end up being stuck with it. Personally I would look at buying either a 993 or a 964, their prices are holding nicely. If I'd kept my 993, it would have been worth more now than when I bought it 5 years ago.

Jamesy W Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 Nice car, I quite like the interior. I'd have bought an M3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazboy Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 your right, besides when il part exchange this for an upgrade at least il get some decent money back as they would not even part exchange an m3 at a showroom Jazz, I don't want to piss on your parade but a Lapis/Ocean blue cab 3.4 with extended Savanah interior is never going to have the firmest of residules. The box will be a bonus, the GT3 kit is marmite- I love it, others hate it. The hardtop is a good thing though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jazz1 Posted September 21, 2008 Author Share Posted September 21, 2008 but i have to say i have more love for the supra than any car in this world, the supe gets much more comments and looks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 ...the supe gets much more comments and looks. And that's what matters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazz1 Posted September 21, 2008 Author Share Posted September 21, 2008 And that's what matters. well i just wanted to create something that would prove people wrong, which i have iv had so many comments and people come up to me saying iv proved them wrong that supra`s dont look sh*t. The whole reason i re-kitted the supra up to where i got it now was the fact i was fed up of poeple saying how crap supra`s are and look Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazboy Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 i was fed up of poeple saying how crap supra`s are and look To be fair the OC does have it's fair share of blame on that. For years you only saw them at drag strips but only recently at trackdays and so many people really do ruin their Supras with really awful kits, paint and wheels and seemingly in a game of one upmanship of who can be more extreme than the last guy. The other shoulder of blame is the mainstream motoring press completely ignoring the car, open a copy of Evo, Sports and Classic or Octane and you will see pages upon pages of 964's, M3's, 944 Turbos and RX7's but the Supe is always overlooked as a big barge that doesn't handle. Again the OC doesn't help here as how many stock cars are on the forums in grade A condition to lend to the media in the first place?

Bobbeh Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 Why does it matter if people say Supra's are crap or look bad? That's only their opinion at the end of the day and shouldn't influence your life/decisions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jazz1 Posted September 21, 2008 Author Share Posted September 21, 2008 well at first it did not bother me until i saw some supras on here that actually made them look awesome. So i thought if id do mine up like some members of here i could actually prove most people wrong. The other day my mates brother saw me driving my supra and he didnt know it was mine. I got a text from my mate asking if it was mine as his borther said its the hottest finest example supra hes ever seen, and to be honest im very happy as all iv had ever since i changed the bodykit, colour and wheels is praise. Just goes to show with the correct bodykit you can transform a supra too look nice. Theres loads of members on here that have even better examples than mine just a shame we dont see much of them on the roads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Havard Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 I don't understand why you are so bothered about what people saythink. As long as a car makes me smile when I look at it, then I am happy!! I have loads of mates at work who call my car "The Chavmobile" and I am know as "Chavard"..... Most of it I put down to jealousy but if it's not then it's just ignorance and a lack of appreciatio for one of the best looking cars ever made!! H.

jazz1 Posted September 21, 2008 Author Share Posted September 21, 2008 see sometimes i actually did agree with most people as in my area all you see is mostly veilside supra`s, iv never seen a normal one. Now it dont bother me because iv had enough praise that iv proved most, including my mates wrong. Iv even had random people shake my hand saying what iv done with my car is nice. When my dad gave me the supra i had no interest in the car at all, i didnt even want it but i took the easy option out saving me money, rather than buying a skyline. But now i thank him not only have i saved money i also created a supra that i love Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazboy Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 I sincerely hope not! Well who cares?
