Guest battle4dune Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 Hi, I have been on here a bit now doing some reading of the supra buyers guide which was very useful. I haven't as yet bought one but am going to get one with the next 4 weeks or so when my insurance runs out. I have decided on a UK 6 speed manual not fussed about colour. I was just wondering if any of you know of any for sale? Checked the usual culprits the bay, PH and autotrader. Looking for as low miles as possible Seen the perfect one but he wants too much money !!! Thanks mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abz Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 Hello Mike Welcome to the club. UK 6 Speeds are rare, so don't be surprised if they £10k plus, even £15k +! Why have you settled on a UK Spec 6 Speed? Have you looked into the JSpec's or even auto's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest battle4dune Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 (edited) Hello Mike Welcome to the club. UK 6 Speeds are rare, so don't be surprised if they £10k plus, even £15k +! Why have you settled on a UK Spec 6 Speed? Have you looked into the JSpec's or even auto's? Not really into autos, I know they have there advantages but I don't really like them. As for the UK spec, they are cheaper to insure but mainly for the exclusivity. I know 99% of people won't know the difference but I don't care because I will. On the insurance note most places won't insure me and the ones that will want an absolute fortune were talking 2.5K+. Whereas a UK spec I can get insured for a grand. I am 21, 3 years driving and 2 years no claims. Clean license. Edit: yes I have looked at JSpec but due to my age, modifications have to be hand picked and most of the imports are modified Edited July 16, 2010 by battle4dune (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abz Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 Well UK's are slower, I am sure you will notice the difference! Do you have a budget in mind? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest battle4dune Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 Well UK's are slower, I am sure you will notice the difference! Do you have a budget in mind? I think 10K is my limit, is that due to having lighter ceramic turbines that spool up quicker than the steel UK ones? But is there a noticeable difference? Has anyone actually tested that theory or is it best guess? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest battle4dune Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 forgot to say I am looking for TT's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJI Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 Don't listen to ABZ The J-spec vs UK-spec has been done to death on this forum. UK-specs are rare and they will normally be £10K+ for the 6-speeds. The UK 6TT is definitely a good choice of Supra to aim for. I've had mine for over 10 years and enjoyed every minute. Insurance for me is only about £230 per year! Which is a big advantage over owning a J-spec as you point out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
