Next Supra Is This Too Cheep?

[buster]

I have found a n/a auto sz its going for £1100 seem very cheep what sort of money are these going for at the moment?

 

I have had the n/a manual and loved it to bits so lookin for a new one after i wrote mine off over 2 years ago, Should i be very carfull or is this a average price? its a 1994 L reg with 103k on the clock looks in good con got s/s exhaust apart from that standard,

 

Your thought please

[j_jza80]

That is at least £500 below the going rate. There's probably a good reason, which may be that the seller is in a rush to sell, or more likely there's issues with the car.

I would have a very good look over any car I was considering buying or take someone who knows what they're looking for, before parting with any cash. It may be a good deal it may be a dog. The advert will only ever tell you so much.

Definately give it a look at that money.

[Dnk]

Whatever the price is you should give every car your considering buying a good look over. hpi is a must.

Thats cheap even with a dead engine or gearbox as those parts are cheap to replace anyway.As you probably know second hand na parts dont fetch a lot .There are people trying to sell shells for not a great deal less than that.

I will have a whole n/a engine and box soon mate (minus alternator starter ect) you can have if you want to pick it up. If you need it obviously

[DodgyRog]

About time you came back

[supracars]

if its the silver one on autotrader at the moment be careful thats a cat-c

[Blackie]

Thats light damage isent it? Not much to worry about imo, I have had cat c bikes before. Atleast that answers the question on why its so cheap.

[supracars]

cat c is the heavy stuff, although nowdays its more down to the insurance assesor as to what cat he decides to put it in, rather than the amount of damage to the car.

[Blackie]

I always thought cat A was the highest then down to D (The lowest)?

[Attero]

You never know... it could be overpriced.

[supracars]

yes your right mate

 

Category A

A vehicle which should have been totally crushed, including all its spare parts.

 

Category B

A vehicle from which spare parts may be salvaged, but the bodyshell should have been crushed and the car should never return to the road.

 

Category C

An extensively damaged vehicle which the insurer has decided not to repair, but which could be repaired and returned to the road.

 

Category D

A damaged vehicle which the insurer has decided not to repair, but which could be repaired and returned to the road.

 

Category F

A vehicle damaged by fire, which the insurer has decided not to repair.

Just because it is priced low doesnt mean its a dog, I have this for sale http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?232368-Cheap-NA and tbh will take bids on it as i want it gone now and can say hand on heart its a sound car. As Barney says, na engines are well cheap just now, I know of another member who just bought a good engine and box from a dealer on here for £120. Also Catc can be drastic but it can also be graded as such just because parts for the vehicle in question are expensive meaning it would be uneconomic to repair, especially the case for our cars.

 

Imagine a na worth about £2.5 has a light front ender, headlights £500, ac rad £300, bumper/splitter £250, + paint + labour + few little bit and bobs, no insurer is going to bother and will be a catc.

didnt end up geting it in the end it went for £1650 still cheep but was more of a £1100 and if its good i got a nice deal ah well one will come along when the times right.
