Guest Ro8 Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 Hello, my name is Rob I have just had someone pick up my beloved mr2 turbo (which was very hard). All in aid of getting my first supra. I am after an n/a auto and my budget is £3,250. How do I become a full member so I can post in the wanted section.

Chris Bailey Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 Welcome to the club! Any reason why youre after an N/A auto? It will feel slower compared to the MR2 Turbo. If I was in your position I'd try save an extra £1000 and you could pick up a fairly clean TT auto. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjy Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 Welcome. What Chris said. You will only kick yourself later on down the line. I did, and mine was an NA6. TT auto's do come up now and again fairly cheap. There was an NA-TT auto advertised for £3800 not so long ago! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ro8 Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 Welcome to the club! Any reason why youre after an N/A auto? It will feel slower compared to the MR2 Turbo. If I was in your position I'd try save an extra £1000 and you could pick up a fairly clean TT auto. A couple of reasons really. I am over the speed thing and am after a cruiser for the weekend. I have recently got a puppy and since I have not driven that fast as she was flying all over the plaice :-). I test drive one at the weekend and it put a massive grin on my face. (Unfortunately it didn't have the paperwork I was after). I would rather have a tidy n/a than a cheap tt. Please correct me if I'm talking nonsense. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjy Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 My TT auto was £4300. Couldn't be happier with it, it's as clean as a whistle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripped_fear Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 Couldnt agree more. Man of sense buy a good na with good paper work rather than a tatty TT. These are expensive cars for bits. A cheap car is often an expensive car further down the line. Welcome to the club and good luck on your hunt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A cheap car is often an expensive car further down the line. Welcome to the club and good luck on your hunt. Not always...But most cases I agree. You can get a clean TT auto for £4000, I've seen Benjy's Auto TT and I'd go as far as saying its one of the cleanest ive seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supra Ems Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 A couple of reasons really. I am over the speed thing and am after a cruiser for the weekend. I have recently got a puppy and since I have not driven that fast as she was flying all over the plaice :-). I test drive one at the weekend and it put a massive grin on my face. (Unfortunately it didn't have the paperwork I was after). I would rather have a tidy n/a than a cheap tt. Please correct me if I'm talking nonsense. Thanks Mine was a clean NA 6 speed manual when I bought it. Such good fun and even after 6 years, still grin when I boot it some. I always thought that an NA might be less likely to have been thrashed plus insurance was much cheaper at the time. It's still a quick car with all the great looks of a Supra, especially if you're over the speed thing. Also, if you do decide you want more speed at a later date, you can always stick a turbo in it, like I've just done with mine! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ro8 Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 So thoughts are that a clean n/a auto (or manual) is realistic for £3,250? If anyone knows of one please send them my way :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Bailey Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 So thoughts are that a clean n/a auto (or manual) is realistic for £3,250? If anyone knows of one please send them my way :-) Thats a good budget for a N/A, expect to pay N/A Auto around £2000-3000 N/A 5spd around £2500-3500 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
