Thanks for any advice in advance and thanks for looking at the ad on gumtree Cheers Francis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purity14 Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 I'm not buying into the 70km on the clock. That's 43,000miles in 17 years 2500 miles per year? Its been clocked, so don't focus on the mileage. But its a nice car, for the price I guess, but you'd get an Manual for that price if you hold on.

I thought all imports came with low mileage, no rust, blah blah blah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noz Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 my opinion is wait. if a manual is what you want, then you should wait. i had my heart set on a manual as well, if you wait your see a good one pop up eventually. getting itchy feet to buy a car is always a difficult time, imagine if you settle for an auto and see a manual in a few months? at least go and test drive it, some people really like auto's, and from what i've heard they are pretty good. but its all about choice. if someone wanted an auto but found a manual, id be saying the same thing. same situation if you really want a TT you should save, as the cost to go NA-T isn't cheap.

Noz Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 I thought all imports came with low mileage, no rust, blah blah blah mine had 60k miles and it dynoed at 219hp. the only thing going against a reliable low millage supra is the low price!!

abtin90 Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 Welcome! As above I would wait there have been a few manual na's in the classifieds that have sold for a similar price. Keep checking the classifieds section on the forum or you can always post a wanted ad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havard Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 NA autos are the hardest thing to sell on and I would test drive a few before taking the plunge. I have a TT auto it's a car for cruising and not getting all hot and bothered in the twisties IMO. I would hold out for an NA manual as they are lots of fun and controllable when you give it some beans. I suppose it depends on what you actually want from a Supra. H.

I thought all imports came with low mileage, no rust, blah blah blah - and yet people fall for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
