nismovspec123 Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Toyota-Supra-UK-Spec-3-0ltr-Twin-Turbo-6-Speed-Manual-/261047556861?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item3cc7a59afd Just thought id share my experience of viewing this supra the other day just to save anyone else the time and hassle. I know for a uk supra it looks cheap but hought id give a clearer picture of the car. the front bumper looks like it benn painted by a 10 year old and is not fitting well at all, looks like it may have been hit at some point. all bodykit is very poor fit. seats are absolutaly battered and mileage is very suspicous for interior of the car. im pretty sure ive seen this before with 140k miles but cant be 100% sure. car had no oil in it even though the owner clains the car has not been driven since october and serviced just before bieng parked up- after topping up almost half a gallon the car resistered some oil on the dipstick. the radiotor is leaking. all wheels need a refurb badly. straction control light on was allowed a 150 yard test drive in a culd -de sac and the car sounded rough, with a knocking sound coming from front left also. paint is 3 shades of red on body. owner clais to have serviced himself with no invoices. this car is dodgy as f***, just saying be careful. i know a few points are mentioned on the ad but needs a lot of time and effort to even make it half decent. all im saying is just do yoir research on this one, just dont want people wasting their time.

letmeshowyou Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 thing is, UK spec manual has gotta be quite rare, so even needing work this is worth something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamuraiFlash Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 This can easily turn into a money pit. Once the money has been put into it then it will be worth £14k. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nismovspec123 Posted June 17, 2012 Author Share Posted June 17, 2012 Trust me the pics are deceiving which is why I thought it may be worth a look . It is battered, I'm sure this car has been clicked as well. None of the owners story added up either. This is why owner would not advertise it on here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyson Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 looks like rear fog and headlamp washers to me That's what I thought but there is a blank switch for the folding mirrors about there too, would be a whole lot easier if the guy had bothered to put up some decent photos !!

st3ven1 Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 If it's a red UK TT6 you are after why don't you go and see this one? Same price and looks in much better condition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
