trebor69 Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 Hi everybody , I'm new , and I'm hooked ! I've been looking at supras for about a month now and really need to get me one , they are pretty much all i can think about !!!!!! Is that strange ? ( good job the missus doesn't read this site ) . I will be parting with my car and my bike to fund one ( although i would swap them and will post an add on the community pages ) . Would anybody be kind enough to give me a little advice on what to look for so i don't end up getting a lemon . just after an N/A , how much should i spend ? My motors should fetch me £4000 to £4500 , is that enough ? your replies are greatly appreciated . Thank you , Rob . :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz6002 Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 You will find a fairly clean NA for that budget. Have a look here for a buyers guide, and welcome to the site Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jevansio Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 (edited) £4.5k should get you a nice N/A, I'd start by looking through the classified ads on here, maybe post some examples of cars you fancy & it'll be easier to tell you whether they're any good or not Edited November 2, 2009 by jevansio (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check my garage our should have more pics. The previous two owners are members here too (Dr Blackman and formatzero) and the car is really well looked after. I'm really impressed by the paintwork. Besides minor stone chips its practically mint! I could have sworn someone repainted it beforehand in the UK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foggy147 Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 hi mate welcome to the forum, i spent about 6 months of searching before I found one I really liked, it is worth the waiting to make sure you get a good one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thenee Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 Good luck on your hunt for a supra! You'll have no probs for that type of money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 Welcome to the forum. As others have said, you'll get a good NA for the money. If I were in your position, i'd be looking to either buy a known car from an existing club member, or going to Jurgen of JM-Imports (generally regarded as the best) to import me a fresh import from Japan. See here: http://www.jm-imports.co.uk/forsale.html Good luck with your search. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
