Guest Beau_1990 Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 Looking for a supra absolute max £3000 I don't want a silver one, ideally with subtle body kit/wheels, standard interior is fine, facelift lights, just something that looks nice Needs to be a manual Thanks Oh and this is needed Asap if anyone can help, otherwise il have to start looking at other cars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesmark Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 I may be wrong but a manual NA for £3k that looks nice is going to be hard to find, for that budget and what you want, the car is going to have to need work done to it. You will get a nice auto for that. But manuals are around the £4k+ mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike2JZ Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 I disagree, you should be able to find a 5 speed n/a for that price A really nice example of an N/A 5 speed will be more expensive however Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Raven Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 I would agree a fair N/A might be in that price range Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Beau_1990 Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 Well the one that just sold for £2500 would of been perfect, so something like that I'm looking for please thanks and if anyone spots one be sure to let me know And Iv already up the budget £500 as you may of noticed I would like the red one on here up for £4000 but 3k is my max I am a mechanic and friendly with bodyshop, so anything considered but obviously not looking to pay top wack if it needs work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they are up around where I said, around £4k. OP has said anything considered but it is down to what people define as good value. Case in point as Raven said a 'fair' one at that price. In my mind fair is just a smidge better than poor condition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 £4K NA5 would have to be immaculate, low mileage and leather or Recaros. That is TT auto territory. £3k should get you a nice, usable NA5. The problem is that lack of good ones now, so you may be waiting a while. That black one was nice, but there won't be another like that come up.

Guest Beau_1990 Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 Yeah well if that red one is still about I'd be interested but think 4k is too much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 There's a silver one in the classifieds that would be perfect. Otherwise, don't discount the auto. It is a better match for the NA engine, and is a much better base for tuning on a budget. You should be able to get a facelift na auto for you budget, but they're quite rare.

Guest Beau_1990 Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 It really has got to be manual, I have never liked auto's apart from bmw smg which is excellent I have been looking at bmw e46 m3 smg but I would rather a supra, but there just don't seem to be as many around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike2JZ Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 There is a black N/A manual on pistonheads for 3k you could check out if you haven't already seen it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supra-mike1984 Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 I love Supras, but I would never choose an NA Supra over an E46 M3! +1 Having owned both I would agree with this. The E46 is an awesome machine and performance wise is on par with a stock supra TT. However a cheaper / low-end E46 could end up being a horrendous money pit! When M3's run great, they're great. When they start needing stuff it's a completely different ball game........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonR24 Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 If you are considering a m3 then surely you have the money to get a supra TT? That would be a much better choice surely? I wouldn't write off the auto box and I'm pretty sure there is a TT 5 speed coming up for sale shortly. Change your wanted title to what your full budget is for any supra rather than an NA and you might be surprised! Definitely do able for M3 money anyway!

Guest Beau_1990 Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 I do have more money but if I'm spending more to be honest I would go for the m3, I would just like a n/a supra to run around in (mainly for the looks) but as I hate auto it's got to be manual, I would rather the supra for what I need it for but I just can't be waiting too long.

Guest Ro8 Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 I have a silver n/a manual. It's a bit more thank 3k but it's a very clean car and has full leather and blitz but spec which you could sell and replace to free up funds. P/m me if interested.
