Guest realaqibkhan Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 This is the Supra im looking to buy, went to have a look at it in St.Helens, 54k miles, non-turbo auto. It drove great, the door never clicked when i pulled to open but i have no idea if thats how they are lol apart from a few minor scratches it was a beaut. Its got service history and all m.o.t's dating back to 2006, it was imported in 2000 and has all japanese service history & has import documents that can verify mileage. The first person who owned it after import owned a garage in the midlands so it has no service history from 2000-06.. the main point of this thread is to see if anyone has come across it or if it has a dodgy past.. selling my beloved ep3 type r for it so i just wanna be sure. Registration is M936TOE. Thanks guyssssss Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abz Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 Looks pretty tidy, I don't know it myself though hopefully something in yorkshire/midlands will have. Do you know what is the name of the garage which owned it first? Also have you checked out the classifieds on this forum? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaan W Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 Looks nice and clean. Have you run a hpi check yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havard Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 As a NW member I have never seen that car before. Do the usual checks and go on condition, not mileage etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westy Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 What price is he after!? Looks clean, but as above re the checks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest realaqibkhan Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 Yes i have, some really tempting cars on here but this one fits the bill (exept the colour).. its got electric leather seats, fully adjustable coilovers, induction kit & 18" alloys.. i am probably going to get the alloys spaced and wrap it black (maybe). Standard otherwise.. i dont have the biggest knowledge on supras so im always in and around this site trying to learn lol. I'll post as soon as i get the name of the place.

Guest realaqibkhan Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 he wants 2995.. its hpi clear and the engine bay was clean, wasn't smoking too much and didnt make any wierd noises. only thing i found was a blade on the fan being slightly cut, but not affecting the way it works. T/Belts been done too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest realaqibkhan Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 u guys think that price is reasonable? tx. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaan W Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 Good price for a low milage clean NA as long as its mint inside and out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest realaqibkhan Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 insides mint, even got original carpets and a wooden dash (which i prefer to the carbon & orginal one for some wierd asian reason :|).. but yeah good condition overall for a 1995 sports car.. just dont want any nasty suprises!

Havard Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 I would the price is slighly high for an NA auto in Silver. If you are buying from a dealer then that would explain it. Price should be about £2500 IMO. This is also the least desired engne and gearbox combination and it will cost a lot to get the car into a more desirable state. If you are not bothered about tuning or having a manual then go for it. H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest realaqibkhan Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 yeah not bothered about that yet, its a dealer.. im gonna wrap in black and just cruise about, giving people a chance to appreciate the looks. When im abit older and have abit more cash, a UK spec Twin Turbo to tune up is something thats definately in my sights.. im tempted to buy one now but i feel i need abit more knowledge and maturity!

Dnk Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 I'd go straight for the TT and don't waste £3k on an na that's worth maybe £1500 in todays market. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T/Belts been done too It shouldn't be smoking at all!! On the TT engines you could expect it to smoke a little due to the valve stem seals but not on an NA engine. yeah not bothered about that yet, its a dealer.. im gonna wrap in black and just cruise about, giving people a chance to appreciate the looks.

All cars smoke when there cold, you need to drive it around a little bit warming it right up then see if its still smoking. Mine smokes loads in the morning when freezing but in hot weather none at all. Edited December 30, 2012 by Kaan W (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
