teddan Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 I am strongly thinking of buying this one http://www.pistonheads.co.uk/sales/1736759.htm They say it's running on 1.0 bar boost and have bpu. But there is no boostgauge to confirm it. Does anyone else know anything about this car? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jon5698 Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 You might want to do a search on here for Platinum auto's before you buy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smallshinyant Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 Nice looking car, the window tinting may be an issue though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev_A Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 Very smart looking Supra that! Wheels aren't to my taste but that's just me, and they're easily changed if you don't like 'em Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robzki Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 Is that an hks or greddy horn? Or possibly a fisher price single turbo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lbm Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 Let's not comment negatively on this car folks please, unless you have personal experience of it, or something like the engine appears to be obviously missing. It may well be a very nice car. Thanking you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smallshinyant Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 I like the black one, they seem to have a few nice supra's including a UK spec for 6.5K http://www.platinumautos.co.uk/28161/stock.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teddan Posted May 22, 2010 Author Share Posted May 22, 2010 Some problem with platinum autos? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teddan Posted May 22, 2010 Author Share Posted May 22, 2010 (edited) I think the car looks good for that price. Of course I would change some parts Just seems weird when i am asking about bpu they say it has bpu and everything but they could not tell me which boost pressure it had or de-cated Edited May 22, 2010 by teddan (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teddan Posted May 22, 2010 Author Share Posted May 22, 2010 seems like it with some modification i think it would be nice! auto to manuel swap first prio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aman00123 Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 Seems alright, probably a good idea to check it out or get someone closer to check it out for you first though. Traders with massive stock usually don't know much about the cars they sell, emphasis on usually! Just a suggestion to why they couldn't tell you about boost levels or decats. You could try Jurgen if you're after a manual BPU TT, he'll probably be able to source one for you.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTRickeh Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 Platinum Auto's seem to have had quite a few nice looking Supra's come up for sale. Their ad's seem to be without the usual marketing drivel and quite well written as well although why every word needs a capital letter is beyond me. Prices seem quite good too. I've had no actual experience of them though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mobsta_01 Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 I like the black one, they seem to have a few nice supra's including a UK spec for 6.5K http://www.platinumautos.co.uk/28161/stock.htm The uk spec one looks alot like the one a trader near me was selling a few months ago. Iirc it had 133k miles too, but it was on for alot less than £6.5k (£4.5k iirc.) I enquired about it my self and the bloke advised me not to buy it as it was f**k*d. He said there was something up with the engine. There's also a thread on here about how Platinum Autos are not as good as their ads make them out to be. All i'd like to say is be vary of them and just try Jurgen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
