Guest Johanr88 Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 Hi. I'll start to say sorry for my really bad english, I hope you understand me! I live in sweden and i desperately want a lhd tt supra. I used to have a rhd. I found this on pistonheads: http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/2336078.htm But I also saw the same ad, but for half the price yesterday at a site called Gumtree.com but soon as i started asking questions the ad was removed. Is there anyone that knows anything about this car? Or maybe live nearby and could have a little look at it? That would be really good! I appreceate quick answers. It's really about time I got myself a new car. /Johan sweden Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz6002 Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 There's something very strange about that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marc_p Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 That's about 15k underpriced is it not? If something is to good to be true, then it generally is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellis Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 Sounds like the Gumtre one was the scam. There are quite a few Leicester-based members (Keron for one) who may know of the car or be close enough to take a look for you. Have you phoned the seller on Pistonheads yet to ask any questions? Mind you, looking at his profile on there, he sounds like either a liar, a retard or a scammer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripped_fear Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 do not know much about this car, apart from it has been for sale for a little while at that price, and it still hasn't sold... seem dodgey to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Raven Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Im not saying this is the same car but. Two US spec cars ended up in the COPART sites as cat Cs, one was red one was white. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicolai Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 I have read on the forum here that it is a converted NA and it has been in an accident. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dude Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Why would it be a scam? I don't think the car is cheap, its LHD and therfore could be a factory tt 6 aero and a LHD will never make good money in the UK when so many RHD versions are available.

But on the pistonheads ad and e-bay ad i got serious answers back. There is a swedish importing company discussing with him right know. Trying to find out some history of the car!

Good luck then ! if everything is ok with the car, no weird history, then it's a very tempting price indeed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Johanr88 Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 Good luck then ! if everything is ok with the car, no weird history, then it's a very tempting price indeed. It sure it a tempting price. The selller says that he buyed the car in this condition. My contact asked him if there are any frame damages, the answer back was that there isn't any frame damage at all. He also says that the car has been correctly repaired. He doesn't know what kind of damage there was. It looks a bit worn but my plan is to repaint directly. If i will buy it. Any thoughts? Does anyone know if there is a way to get info about the car when it was in US? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
