Guest Winterlolli Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 Hi Guys, I have just purchased a new Supra J Spec TT Black (L469 RJN), its from the cornwall area, purchased from a dealer who had it as part exchange, just wondered if any one knew of it at all? and had any back ground history of it?? I was reading Mawby's guide to buying to new Supra and everythigs fine except where first and second gear don't feel half as aggressive as 3rd/4th/5th/6th and it has worried me a little. I pick it up next friday 15th and before i do just wanted to do some reasearch. Any comments would be apprecaited. Cheers Winterlolli:cool:: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndrewOW Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 (edited) Hello and welcome. The only advice I can give you is the fact that you should've joined, read up on these lovely cars, before you went to have a look at them, as although they are brilliant cars (IMO of course), there are plenty of dogs around, and it's a potential minefield if you pick the wrong one. Anyway, after all that, I hope you get the answers you're hoping for. EDIT: Loadsa commas!

tooquicktostop Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 (edited) Oh dear, I hope you got it very very cheap, something tells me otherwise however, not a nice start to Supra ownership at all, did you HPI the car, was that clear ? I always get my cars inspected if they are over a few grand, this just shows the reason why Edited May 8, 2009 by tooquicktostop (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lazarus Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 Please tell me you didn't pay full price? please tell me you took somebody with you who knows what to look for on these cars? and please tell me you've got an agreement with the seller to fix at least some of the issues? The thread mentioned above was posted by me and all comments with-in it are obviously just my opinion of the car, but you may want to re-examine it with the heads-up. What matters is whether you are happy with the purchase, (also stated at the end of that post by me). The post was also copied into another thread in a more public area, I'll see if I can find it again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Winterlolli Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 Phew, just paid for the membership and read the article. I'm glad i did now... Not paid for the car yet although put a small deposit on it whislt i checked it out. I knew that something was a little strange. Been out in Supra's before and they felt similar but i was sure first and second gears was quicker. It had receipts for refurb'd turbos and alot of engine work which was my main critera (reliable), the paint was pretty bad but got a mate who is a sprayer (happy days). I have been to the sellers before to look at other cars and they seem reasonably trustworthy. Got them down below 7k and a 3 month warranty. Was going to take one of my mates down who is a mechanic before i hand over the money on friday, it's so hard to get a black TT manual with leather.. Had a Nur Spec R exhaust from the cat back, but no other mods to my knowledge! but thats y i was gonna take my mate to have a look at for me. thanks for all your welcome comments, i might keep on looking. Will consider all your feedback. thanks Winterlolli Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lbm Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 (edited) Oooooooo! Yep. Looks like the original member's report on this car, was to be fair, in Members Chat. Then it got quoted in Supra Chat etc. Then it got read. Edited May 8, 2009 by Lbm (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
