Dim Sum Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 I have a question, i've mention this on my other thread Newbie but i dont know if people would check it out so i thought i post it in here after introduction myself. I have recently looked at a 1995 Supra. The asking price is £5,500.00 I like the look but there a parts of the car that makes me wonder. Its look great. on closer look i found this on the side skirt by the door, plus there's a mild gap. Is that normal? because he said that all supra has a mild gap between the skirt and bodyworks. Second the wheels. The wheel are nice but where the rim is suppose to be chrome its gone sliver alloy paint, i think he tried to do some D.I.Y plus the wheel is flaking slightly Opinions would be great how much would you pay for it?

RobD Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 Is it a TT or NA? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icemanv6 Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 (edited) Is it me or do the wheel's seem to be way inside the arches? That first picture everything just looks...well wrong. If it's an N/A i'd say walk away for that price. Also, what kind of history does the car have if any? FSH, partial or none?

Animal Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 500 quid, looking at what tonight's other newbie bought for 2 grand... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz6002 Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 Run away! That's a dog. NA or TT, it's still going to be a shitter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 Wheel looks normal to me, used but nothing untoward. Although the tyre looks small for the size of the rim and as mentioned the front down't look like it's in the arch as you'd want. Do they have the stock wheels? Bodykit is a copy of the OEM skirts and spats (front lip looks like a GReddy job). It's not the greatest fit but to be expected for a copy...they are never perfect. I'd get a bodyshop to freshen it up. As for the price, look at others in the market and decide what you honestly think it's worth. And how much you'd happily pay for it.

DSK Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 Looks like a car that someone has; 1. incorrectly fitted the body kit and tried to hide the gaps with decorators caulk/sealant/filler. 2. quick DIY spray job on the alloys to tart them up for sale Based on the pictures alone, I would not even go to view that car!

caseys Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 May just be the phone I'm viewing this on but does the front bumper look like a different White from the lip/wings/bonnet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackso11 Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 If the only thing that is wrong with it is an ill fitting skirt and flaking wheels then it is worth £3500-4000. If there are other things wrong with it then the price is less than that. No way is it £5500 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DSK Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 yes, a lot flatter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nevins Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 if its an n/a the skirts have been added imo, and not a very neat job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 I'd deem that steep. It'd have to be reasonably low milage, immaculate paint, have perfect interior and uprated brakes/suspension for me to consider it at £5500. That may just be me though.

mobsta_01 Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 May just be the phone I'm viewing this on but does the front bumper look like a different White from the lip/wings/bonnet? Looks like that to me too, and i'm using my pc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mobsta_01 Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 I think it's too over priced for the asthetic condition alone. Besides you can get na Supras for a lot cheaper than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dim Sum Posted January 27, 2010 Author Share Posted January 27, 2010 not great comment so far. Anyone selling a white supra down in essex lol, Or anywhere near it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deathmonkey Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 I'd avoid that one mate. Check the classifieds on here, or be prepared to travel a bit? I haven't checked the classfieds on here for a while, so I don't know what's available?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dim Sum Posted January 27, 2010 Author Share Posted January 27, 2010 I guess. I have checked the classified here they are all very nice and reasonable priced, but i'm after a white one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob_Mitchell Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 i wouldnt go for that it looks a right bodge, makes me wonder what i can get for mine if that one is £5500. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deathmonkey Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 Thats what i was thinking. Then that way i have a grand or two to fix any problems. thanks Like someone else said, don't rush into it though mate! Supras can make you wait a while! And make sure you come back and tell us of any problems you find on any Supra you view if you aren't experienced in the field of Supras! You can find mint N/A's still for not much more - don't buy a lower priced dog, thinking that you can just use a bit of money to sort it - Supras invariably work out more expensive then you think to sort, bodywork etc, especially for what you can't actually see (engine, suspension.)

martini Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 its a n/a how much if i was to buy it? Do not buy this, unless you have a lot of money and want to lovingly restore her! This should be no more than £2k - spend £3k on making it a TT! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
