Ryy Posted July 29, 2012 Author Share Posted July 29, 2012 I guess so, Tbh I'd rather be driving something i'd enjoy, something that puts a smile on my face every time I'm driving it, then something that i don't enjoy, If I've got everything under control, and I'm Stable enough, like house, Food, Tv, Water and electric are all sorted and i haven't got anything else to worry about, then i wouldn't mind paying that much, Because i know for a fact, owning one of those would Put a big fat grin on my face:d Ry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryy Posted July 29, 2012 Author Share Posted July 29, 2012 I was thinking the same thing - Is he buying this supra for himself? He's only 16 . Or is he buying the supra and his dad is driving it? Confused.com! My birthday is less than a month away, And my dad n myself have been looking for cars for me, I've seen a few different cars, Corsa's, 106's, And tbh mate i see everyone around nottingham driving em, Not saying there a bad car, There just a bit chavy for me, So indeed the supra's for me -holds breath- - so even if i get one, and dad drives it, as long as I'm a part of the supra gang, Ill be chuffed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus dude a 3 litre supra as your first car is probably excessive, lad i know was given a range rover sport supercharged for passing his test, and the insurance was £16,000 a year! and guess what happened.......

Your not going to get insured on a 3.0 litre N/A Supra. It costs more to be insured on a J-spec N/A than it costs to be insured on a UK SPEC Twin Turbo. If you think you will get insured you've got another thing coming mate. Im looking at getting a 1.4 civic for my first car only wanna spend about £1000 on the car itself. But the insurance will be about £3000 just for a 1.4 civic. Imagine what it would be like for a supra. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCK10 Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 Personally, I'd get a cheap BMW or the likes to get some RWD experience first. I'd be gutted if I binned my nice new supra the first time I took it out in the wet. Keep the cheap runner for a year or so, and by the time it comes round to getting the Supra you'll at least have some experience, had time to save up some cash and your insurance will probably be cheaper as well!

Abz Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 Will cost 5k for an NA At my age and in my area! If that is the case then I'd be looking at something like a VW golf in all honesty. These cars can be very expensive to run if they need work carrying out on them. Don't bother your Dad & save the money yourself. At the end of the day if you are struggling at this stage then it will be quite difficult come insurance, tyres or suspension time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just start with a crappy car like a fiesta, 106, clio etc. Then wait for your no claims to go up then get a supra. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
