samtialou Posted August 5, 2013 Author Share Posted August 5, 2013 Guys im not gonna bother with this one now! i rang the guy this morning because i too was confused as to if he dealer or private, he advertised as private but at bottom of his ad he put px welcome, so i made the call, told him what i had an he said he might be interested for his wife, so he checked out my spec an came back with a REDICULOUSLY low price for my car, told him no chance as 'we buy any car offered more than that'! (an we all know they take the P**S lol he said sorry to disappoint 10 mins ago....an thats that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havard Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 I would walk away from that one Sam. Some of the pictures worry me but the mileage and the lack of registration have set the alarm bells ringing. It will not have an MOT, tax, registration, SVA test which will all cost money. H.

Havard Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Veilside and eyelids are not a nice mix. I don't know. If you pull your own eye lids down it's not that bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has genuine traceable history aswell as the other things like what Havard has said above above As its a 97 it should have a V161 (I think. It should be a six speed box in there) so the £4k is worth it IMO. Body back to stock, and a TT transplant, and for circa £7k including the cost of the car, you have a TT6!!!

Havard Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 The ad says 5 speed so I'm guessing the box has been swapped out at some point. This. Not sure at what point in 97 they changed from 5 to 6 speed. My 96 NA was a 5 speed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nic Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 (edited) This. Not sure at what point in 97 they changed from 5 to 6 speed. My 96 NA was a 5 speed. The NA facelift Supra was introduced May 1996 they were fitted with the 6spd gearbox. A photo of the VIN plate would show which gearbox was factory fitted. It's either started life as an auto and been converted to 5spd or has had the 6spd removed (probably sold on separately) and swapped for a 5spd, Edited August 5, 2013 by Nic (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The VIN plate confirmed it was fitted at the factory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scooter Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 I've had loads of factory 5 speed fl na's...they came in 5 and 6 speed... Yeah that, only the SZ-R's went to 6 speed in the facelifts, plenty of regular 5 speed facelifts around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
