scotty71 Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 Well..... sorry to hear your dilema, but I take it you dont know much about any cars let alone the Supra if you were sold an N/A and you were told it was a TT!! How much did you pay for the N/A and you got any pics? There is a big difference in the engine bay..... the N/A has no Turbos . . gutted is not the word I would have used mate. anyway post some pics of your motor Scotty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TopgunTT Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 Now that really isn't good news. I take it you got it in a private sell? Do you have anything in writing saying it was a TT? Like the for sale ad? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz6002 Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 Either: 1) you're young and don't know what you're doing 3) you are very agreeable and frankly quite gullable 3) you're a troll. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lbm Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 3) you're a troll. Ironically, I went to the Garden Centre the other day to buy a troll for a water feature, but when I got home, it turns out it was a gnome. Very disappointing.

Leroybarry Posted June 22, 2010 Author Share Posted June 22, 2010 Il try get some pics tomora. No was on the autotrader website and listing was removed and all I got from him was a bit of paper saying Toyota supra paid in full £5000 sold as seen. I know now how different they are after seeing them next to each other feel really stupid fort I would take a punt and trust him as he seemed so genuine but proves can't trust anyone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesArup Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 Do you mean you were driving it for a few weeks before you noticed it had no turbos? Or you paid for it and didn't know until you picked it up a few weeks later? I can't imagine it would take a few weeks of driving to notice that your twin-turbo car actually had no turbos at all? You must have done SOME sort of research into Supra's before forking out £5k to buy one, surely? I mean, 5 minutes research will give you all sorts of information to instantly recognise an NA from a TT without even having to lift the hood. I do feel sorry for you dude, some unscrupulous scammer seems to have totally had you . But to fork out for a car with seemingly no research at all is utter insanity! If only you'd asked on here BEFORE you bought the car like most people do, instead of after, you'd have never had this problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonathanc Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 hmmm.... hopefully this is not a troll... However it would be very obvious driving a non turbo car as the power delivery is almost always linear while turbo cars have a "kick" when the turbo(s) spools up. Hope to see some pictures as well...

marcAB10 Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 Erm.. Wow, that isn't a great situation, but I agree that doing just 5mins research on here beforehand and it would have never happened.. Hindsight is a great thing I suppose. Put some pics up, or at least give more details, what year is the car, how clean is it, milage? Let us see what you paid 5k for exactly.

jevansio Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 Are you sure it is an auto also? The stick thing beside your left leg, does it only go back & forward or can you waggle it about? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SupraStar 3000 Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 Within 24hrs, I think we've found our "2010 - Boot-release award for services to mkivsupra.net" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havard Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 You think you have problems Leroy. I went to pick up my Supra from Fife, 12 hour round trip, even got Rob Sheffield to come with me to look at it and then had to take him home to the funny side of the Pennines. The car cost me 5K plus all the costs of fuel etc for the trip. I had the car for a couple of weeks when I found out that the seller had lied to me and it was actually an Austin Allegro with a body kit....... H.

Dnk Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 (edited) £5K sounds cheap compared to what some have paid so it could have been worse. Just hope the cars a really nice one and its only a couple of grand over priced then !

I once bought a Springer Spaniel puppy called 'Thumper'. Couldn't understand why he wouldn't come for walkies, never barked and only ate carrots. Turned out it was a rabbit. Wished i'd researched it now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
