alex341 Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Hello everyone, new to the forum. I currently have a pulsar but am looking at buying a supra in the next few months. Basically I'm just after a bit of advice. Is there anything I should be keeping an eye out for? The biggest query I have is auto or manual? I know the manuals sell for a lot more but lots of ppl seem to have autos? Lastly are they as reliable as they're made out to be because in the short time I've owned my plusar it's already blown up twice and my patience is starting to wear thin with it. Oh and what can roughly £7000 get me? Thanks in advance everyone :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony tt Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Welcome to the forum. http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?67644-What-to-check-when-buying-a-Supra have a look here bud all you need to know. 7k will get you a really nice TT Auto or a bargain of a tt 6 spd manual good luck with your search. Cant fault the auto box its one of the best out there. If it's big power your going for then invest in the 6spd the stock auto box is good for 500hp with additional coolers and supporting mods.

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone. Yes I have a blue one and a black facelift (daily drive). Lude's white one is around that's really nice as well. You have choices of silver, red or gun metal grey not to clash in the local area Yes there are other colours, but these are the main ones.
