icemanv6 Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 Hey all i'm new to the forum, my name's craig and I live in East Yorkshire. I've have had an interest for buying a supra for 1-2 years now, I've been registered on the forum for a few days now and have been checking out a lot of the threads regarding the N/A and TT variants I'm hopefully going to be going Supra hunting in 2 weeks time (as long as the bank gives me the loan I want next week ) My budget is hopefully going to be 5k (maybe can up this a little more to 5500 (possibly 6k) ) Was hoping people could give me an idea of what sort of mileage/model etc I should be looking at for this kind of money? Is it realistic of finding a decent TT for this kind of money or not in your oppinions? If not I would be looking for a decent N/A model with relatively low mileage and a manual, i've read a few threads that there is a few good one's around the 3k-5k mark. Any help is most appreciated!

DSK Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 Hi and welcome. 1. take you time when car hunting, its easy to loose ones senses, so keep a cool head and be patient. May be worth trying to go to a few dealers who have Supra's in to look at them to get an idea and feel for them. £5k will get you into twin turbo territory but don't expect all the cars in this price range to be good un's. You will get the odd 1994 J-spec in what appears to be a tidy condition advertised. As for tips, these cars are seriously expensive to run. Ensure the car has a full service as per the service schedule and not just basic oil and filter changes. The cars are very robust and reliable even compared to many new cars, but its a case of checking everything out carefully. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R Black Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 Welcome, you can get a tt for that price, i paid less than that 2 yrs ago, you will need to check any car you look at with a fine tooth comb. Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gurteen0 Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 £5K will get you a Mint N/A without fail. But be very careful looking at Twinnies as at this sort of price guide you get some good ones but some Trashed ones with no love . Try and stay away from Ebay etc and look more on the Forums as they seem to be better looked after and cared for . I saw some "Dogs" over the past 2 months so be careful and when you finally get the one you deserve then Enjoy Welcome matey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icemanv6 Posted June 17, 2009 Author Share Posted June 17, 2009 Thanks for the sound advice, I've already seen one person advertising on ebay saying he sold some car to 'bla bla' from European Sports Cars...and I remember someone posting on the keyleigh thread here about that name saying that they sold crap cars (think it's in sweeden/denmark). I've had a look at the FAQ also quite a bit, anything else to be wary when looking at the cars in perticular? I think i'd prefer a TT if possible however, will let you all know if the bank let's me have the loan or not (although I can't see why they wouldn't). One last thing, anyone know of any decent dealers/dealerships selling supra's in any parts of yorkshire, and most importantly anyone's to avoid (Read about keighley on multiple forums ) Regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
