Non turbo manual wise i'd be looking for one with ABS (optional on pre facelift NA's) and ideally a LSD.

Hi and welcome James,

 

your welcome to have a sit in mine, but I won't have it for another week or so, as it's being tarted up (again:innocent:)

 

Where abouts in Devon are you bud

I'm in Exmouth, but my Supra is in Newton Abbot for another week or so

 

Supra's are really rare around here for some reason

 

Print of the check list on the link Josh posted up and don't buy it because it looks nice, they can be expensive to repair if you buy a dud

 

Have you got a link to the one you are going to look at, someone might know the car and it's history

I'm in Exeter, you can have a sit in mine if you like, see if you fit! :)

 

5 and a half years and 77 posts, I'm impressed. I take it its quality rather than quantity. Have a chat with Josh :)

 

On topic: I'm freaky tall and fit just fine. Good luck with the search, take your time and don't buy the first one you see. Better still take someone in the know with you and get a list of all of the things that should have been replaced on all supras by now and get receipts to make sure they have been done. it can get expensive just getting a supra up to a good working standard.

I wouldn't pay any more than £3,500 for that in the current climate. If all the claims are genuine, it should be a fairly tidy NA, but I'd offer £3,500 and not a penny more. A few very decent NA's have sold for sub £3,500 over the last few weeks (mine included).

Haha, I had a 4 year break in-between Supra's, I've only just got back into the fold :)
