soarer 2.5 Twin Turbo

Hi guys ,

I have a soarer twin turbo for sale. This used to be my ex father in laws car but he has now retired and can't afford to run it or fix the problems it has so it is up for sale .

My first thought is that it can be used as a donor car as the tt engine and gear box are good and it really shifts! I thought this would be a great opportunity to buy an na supra and drop the engine in but at the moment I just don't have the funds or the time so maybe a member might want to do this? I only live a couple of miles from garagewhifbitz so i'm sure they could do a compression test on the engine for a small fee for peace of mind.

 

bad points...

no alarm

can't lock the drivers door as this has been messed up with somebody trying to break in so would need a new barrel , maybe a secondhand item from breakers yard?

passenger door opens when window is lowered ! This is common apparently and needs a new window seating thingy apparently :search:

aircon needs recharging or doesn't work

drivers seat belt doesn't catch properly

leather interior is very worn ...this was added to the car because he wanted leather but the cloth seats were very good , (these were sold few years ago)

The body work looks really good from a distance but up close it has dings and scratches on most panels ..the worst being a dent in the drivers side rear quarter that has broken the paint and has begun to rust ..

rear bumper needs respray

boot lid doesn't stay up

there is a clunky sound when going over speed bumps which could either be loose under tray or more likely bushes of some sort i'm guessing.

The mileage reads about 68,000 miles but i know that the digital dash was faulty and had to be changed at some point so this is almost certainly incorrect.

 

seems a shame to scrap the car but unless you really want a project I'm not sure its worth saving apart from the running gear which could fairly easily be dropped into a supra.

Really not sure what the car is worth in its current state but it is drivable as it has a current mot and tax....

 

Sorry there is no price as this kind of thing is hard to value so any reasonable offer considered and you are more than welcome to come and view it but i will not sell it for peanuts eg £100 ! if nobody wants it i shall moth ball it and convert a non turbo supra myself in the future:d

 

I took some pics with my phone as i lost my camera recently so sorry about the poor quality of the pics !

 

any questions please ring me on 07768667405 but please don't ask me technical questions about how to convert into a supra because i probably won't know !!

cheers guys
