LadyFliss Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 Yes I am on about Supras ! As I am looking to buy my first Supra I want it to be exactly what I am looking for, I really want a manual. Will I pay more for this ? Are these hard to find? Forgive me for being blonde I have a lot to learn but I will get there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tooquicktostop Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 Welcome You will pay more for a manual, you really need to test drive an auto before you dismiss them, they are really good Try Jurgen on here, he has some stunning imports and might be able to source exactly what you are looking for What is your budget Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suprakeith Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 You can get a good na manual for around 3k, is it a tt or na you after? Also is this ladyfliss from relentless racing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShawnPreece Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 it does take time to find the 1 you want especially as manuals are rarer yes but i agree with above auto's are very good too and have manual mode on them. The wait is worth it for when you find the one you want though keep an eye on the classifieds or put a wanted post up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supragal Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 If you're talking about TTs then yes you'll pay more for manual than auto. From what I've seen recently you'd get the same car for 7.5k in auto as you would 11k manual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyFliss Posted June 19, 2014 Author Share Posted June 19, 2014 Yes keith it's me. I really want a TT, I'll test drive both and work it out from there... Budget is really depending on the car although I'm not going to spend more than 5 / 6 k ideally Im watching the for sale page to give me a good idea of what I can get, only it's making me want one now!!

Well with your budget of £5k to £6k (ideally) you are not going to get a manual TT unless someone wants rid of it quick which would mean it requires a fair few ££££ to get it up to a good standard. You may struggle to get a decent auto TT for that budget too. It depends on what your standards are and what you deem 'decent'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyFliss Posted June 19, 2014 Author Share Posted June 19, 2014 Looks like I'll just need to save a few extra pennies! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suprakeith Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 Have you been in a supra fliss? As I know you,I would be happy to take you for spin in mine she's a na manual Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gordy.r Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 Well with your budget of £5k to £6k (ideally) you are not going to get a manual TT unless someone wants rid of it quick which would mean it requires a fair few ££££ to get it up to a good standard. You may struggle to get a decent auto TT for that budget too. It depends on what your standards are and what you deem 'decent'. Yeah you'll be hard pushed to find a decent manual TT for that price, though I did pick up Farmers Auto TT for £5800 and if I'm being a little biased it is an awesome car in great condition. Only done 45k miles with full service, repair and MOT history since import 12 years ago. One owner and very, very clean inside and out. So they are out there, you've just got to look and be in the right place at the right time (and be prepared to travel lol) to get the one you want.

Glanza_Mike Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 Hey Fliss welcome, i was recently in your position also, watching Pistonheads and the 'For Sale' section on here everyday, i really wanted a TT manual as well. I found it very hard to find one in great condition, esp in white which is what i wanted. I ended up getting a Tiptronic auto twin-turbo from Jurgen at JM-Imports, he has some really great condition cars coming over pretty regularly. As some of the others said for 5-6k there is no way you'll get a TT manual for that kind of money without a fair few faults on it unfortunately. Might have to save them pennies or look for an auto! But i know when u have the car bug it's hard to hold off for too long before deciding to buy GL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Raven Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 Dont discount the TT auto. Id test both, i prefer the Auto Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyFliss Posted June 19, 2014 Author Share Posted June 19, 2014 Yeah my ex had a few (and I think owns one still) both auto (i think, he might cherp up but i doubt it) and they were amazing, but it has been a while so I might take you up on your offer keith, will be good to get to know a bit more about them too and my options Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JasonR24 Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 Yeah my ex had a few (and I think owns one still) both auto (i think, he might cherp up but i doubt it) and they were amazing, but it has been a while so I might take you up on your offer keith, will be good to get to know a bit more about them too and my options Remember Keith's NA has NOS. Normal NAs aren't as quick as that Honestly though the NA manual is a solid car. I owned one and it was great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suprakeith Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 Yea will let her experience the na without nos then with as with nos she is faster than standard tt!!! Want to race against bpu supra next as beat a 380bhp Subaru plus two mkiii turbo supra's with the nos being deployed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abz Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 Welcome to the club, personally I'd budget the below to give you a rough idea. Manual TT6 Min £10k Ideally £12k Auto TT Min £6k Ideally £8k NA5 Min £3k Ideally £4k NA Auto Min £2.5K Ideally £3.5K Obviously some cars can be found for cheaper than the min price I have quoted but this taking into account getting something which doesn't need a huge amount of work doing to it.

LadyFliss Posted June 19, 2014 Author Share Posted June 19, 2014 That's pretty awesome Gives me a good idea of what I can get and can look at for budget. I just need to test drive a few auto beasts and see how it feels... Keith.... You know you wanna let me drive it right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamesmark Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 Welcome to the club, personally I'd budget the below to give you a rough idea. NA5 Min £3k Ideally £4k NA Auto Min £2.5K Ideally £3.5K Obviously some cars can be found for cheaper than the min price I have quoted but this taking into account getting something which doesn't need a huge amount of work doing to it. What about an NA6? To hi jack a thread, as that is ideally what I would like to get when I decide to rejoin the fold. I was thinking £5k, ok miles and maybe need some work on the outside but solid underneath Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
