Guest Tricky001 Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 Hi All, Have been reading a lot of comments on this site, seems you guy's and girls have a lot of experience and give good advice. My situation is that I am looking for my first Supra, ideally would like a UK TT auto. Have money burning a hole in my pocket, but looking for the right one. This will be used only at the weekend. So, if anyone has some good avice or knows of a good car for sale, I would welcome your comments. Have a great day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Tricky001 Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 Hi thanks for you message. The only reason I thought about a UK car, is due to I believe a slightly higher spec. But I am open to views, not really sure what is the best option is for me. I suppose when I see a car that I like I will Know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Click link in my sig Hi, I live in Crawley Down, ( Near Copthorne ). I really like the look of your car. How long have you had this? Did you do the majority of the upgrades? It certainly is the best colour I think. What sort of money are you looking for your car? Where are you based? Look forward to hearing from you. Trev.

Most people tend to prefer the manuals Hi, For the majority of my driving life, have always driven auto. Plus if the performance is as good as every one says it is, would prefer to have both hands on the steering wheel. LOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think the only thing you get with UK cars is you have the large brake set up, headlamp wash (which i think is a usless bit of kit) and a bonnet vent.. I think that your insurance will be a tiny bit cheaper though.. Apart form that there the same I would look out for Large brakes set up Recaro seats If you want a facelift there a LATE 96 onwards, but if you get a preface lift you can always change the lights to facelift ones When i bought my Supra they have a good guide to buying a Supra on here if you use the search button mate Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DSK Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 Welcome, best of luck with your search for a car. FWIW, I travelled the country for over a 1 year, looking at private and trade cars, UK spec and Imports, when I almost gave up, luck was on my side and I got a cracking car from a fellow member. Also search the classifieds section, it may help you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
