Put it this way, although they do need regular rebuilds (If you can call every 50-60k regular) the cost of the rebuild is usually much less than a piston engine. The fuel economy is another matter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 get you a nice one from 16k to 22k Still far to much money for a 2001 stock supra imo, for under 20k i could get a 2007 VXR8 with 7000 miles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could you replace your Supra with one though? I've not been in a VXR8, but before I bought my latest Supra, I tried loads of other (more modern) sports cars. They just don't feel that special. That has to be worth a premium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobD Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Still alot to pay ! Wouldnt turn one down though! Will the introduction of these later supra's make the older supra's you import cheaper? Both shown do look stunning though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supra_aero Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 I don't understand the fascination with late model supras. Maybe I just don't know but besides the facelift headlights/indicators/tail lights - were there any other significant differences? Not talking about VVTI engined cars btw.

I suppose it dont make them look so old with the new reg lay-out on the front! Another question will the satnav work fine over here looks like a toyota head unit so would it be a case of getting new disc's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will probably stand toe to toe with BPU cars too. 3 year old Beemer 535ds are appearing in this price bracket now too. Bpu+ performance with 40mpg sounds good to me.

gaijin Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 A VXR8 went past my house the other week.Don't know if anything had been done to it,but the exhaust note was superb(loud and gnarly) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bpu+ performance with 40mpg sounds good to me. 40mpg in your dreams! If I drive mine like a bore, @ 75 leptons on the motorway, I might get early 37's mpg. Usual 85 leptons is around high 34's to low 35's mpg. Mine is remapped though, and it's pretty quick for a diesel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never driven a 535d before, only a 530d and a 520d. The 530d (E39) would be an easy match for an NA. How do you find the 535d compares to your Supra?

Lots of little asthetic differences that add up to a much nicer car, if you like that sort of thing. The lighter carpets and dash made a big difference, as well as the new dash layout. Electric mirrors and indicators were a nice to have too. TC was still crap though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
