Guest filabob1 Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 So do I take a chance on this thing? I know its hard just looking, and its not even a TT like I want but its a MK IV close to my area. I am just really anxiouxs with money burning a hole in my pocket. Decisions, decisions....to be continued..... http://denver.craigslist.org/cto/3242098200.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tkddav3 Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 would be a good base for a project! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest filabob1 Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 Thats kinda where my head is at. Plus it will keep me occupied and maybe I do run into that TT that I want later down the road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra joe Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 Howcome we don't see these chrome stock wheels in the UK ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest filabob1 Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 But, they are missing the center caps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonny248 Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 Is it me or does that seem a tad over priced!! 10K. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 No offence intended but how can anyone seriously say if its any good or not. It's old enough and done enough miles for it to need lots of work doing to it, my car is the same age with 135,000 miles and lots of parts have needed to be replaced so i'd be asking the seller whats been done to it and i don't mean oil changes and servicing. Brake calipers, heater matrix, radiator, ac rad, suspension arms, etc etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abtin90 Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 Is it me or does that seem a tad over priced!! 10K. í ½í¸ Prices in the US are very high even for NA's. they don't seem to depreciate at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest filabob1 Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 I agree that it is overpriced. I am going to offer 8K, hopefully she takes it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abz Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 I agree that it is overpriced. I am going to offer 8K, hopefully she takes it. I thought the advert states clearly at the top that he has received over 100 calls for it & he will not lower the price? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mostly concerned with timing belt and water pump. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havard Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 Steering wheel is on the wrong side for starters..!! Don't be too hasty making a purchase. I assume that finding a Supra in the US isn't that easy because of the distances involved travelling. Good luck with the search. H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 To be honest mate the timing belt and water pump are the least of your worries, the suspension arms alone cost way more than doing a cambelt change and waterpump combined. If its still got its original parts that i've mentioned some of above they will be on their last legs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 Save for a TT, rather than getting an NA because it's convenient Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
listy Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 Save for a TT, rather than getting an NA because it's convenient This. If a TT is what you want, hold out for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abz Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 Chaps this fella is looking for a Supra in the states. The TT is at least 10k more expensive (if not even more) between the two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest filabob1 Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 Good advice guys, and yes I think I should wait just because the TT is what I want. I haven't talked to her yet only because I am still looking for TT. But this is truely a HARD thing to do, just because I see your rides and they are really beautiful in all their glory. But ultimately it looks like I will have to save atleast another 10K to get one of my dream cars. So I guess I will be living through you guys until I can get one of my own.

Swampy442 Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 As above, timing belt and water pump costs are nothing compared to new upper rear suspension arms. No wonder the UK is getting raped of its imports if a ragged aerotop is going for over 6 grand in the US Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 Would people in the US really give the equivalent of £6215 for that thing? Even the steering wheel GLOVE looks worn out, the panel gaps look a bit iffy and it looks generally very tired. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
