no no i agree, this is a prime example of what forums are for. I'l be honest, i was going to get that car and yes it drives great and looks stunning, but im so glad i came on here first

 

lucky escape bud. supras are fantastic cars that can give years of trouble free fun, but get a bad one and you will need another mortgage, and they are not easy to come by at the moment :D

My car is solid, it has been a TT from the start and its not alot more than you were looking at. It's also been worked on by JODYT who is a member on here! :ecstatic:

 

Good luck finding the right car for you.

Tiptronics are well worth a try...of course you should try a normal auto too, you will probably be surprised even if you are normally anti-auto...but Tiptronics are a very capable middle step between normal auto and manual. Theres a premium on 6 speed manuals fair enough, which to me just makes the Tiptronics better value. I also went to buy 6 speed but went with Tiptronic after driving both. Not for everyone, but worth a try before you buy.

Well done on your decision to not buy that motor.

 

There are plenty of decent ones around, and please don't dismiss the auto, as its excellent IMO.

 

When I went to see mine, I saw it was auto and thought 'no' straight away, but after the demo by the previous owner, I couldn't wait to have a go. I've never looked back since :)

 

I think the only reason for 'upgrading' to a manual, is if I wanted to seriously upgrade the power, but its perfect as it is for now.

 

This forum is just great if you ask the right questions, and listen to the answers, as there are good, knowledgeable people on here.

If you want to drive up the A140 and come to Long Stratton you can have a ride in my auto TT aero to experience how good the auto box is :D

 

Funnily enough I thought about looking at the exact same car before I got mine as it was advertised on pistonheads a few months ago and was nearby, glad I didn't in the end from the sounds of things!
