EMPEROR Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 Supra purchase is like a love from the first sight! You don't see the bad things, only the good ones I remember the first time I saw my baby... I was even afraid to get closer to it Anyway, the link that Josh gave you is more than enough Good luck mate! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nic Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 Have a read of the threads HERE Can you post the advert here so we can give it the once over for you? If I was buying one I'd get it to a local mechanic (or Supra specialist if there's one local) and get the car in the air so the suspension could be checked, it's an expensive business replacing worn suspension components. It may also be worth asking if there is an experienced club member local to the car who could check it out with you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good advice Look beyond the paintwork, check to see whats been done to it regards o/e parts, service history etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abz Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 If it is a long term club member, then it can put your might at ease. Though still give the car a full run over. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gurteen0 Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 Just go with your head not heart mate and you'll be cool and always remember if you have any niggly doubt walk away as your first instincts are normally correct. I looked at all sorts of shite and ragged ones before I found mine and almost all were hiding something or other:tongue: As Abz said if it's a member they are generally looked after so try to sus it out matey Good luck anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
