Sanya Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 Hi guys, I am looking for a supra. My budget is 8k. I hope I can get a manual NA in mint condition or TT Auto in good condition. Does not have to be stock looking but no veilside. Colour in order of preference: White, Gunmetal grey, Black, Red, Blue, Yellow, Silver. If someone have got anything please PM me. Open for offers. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mamos95 Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 Best place is gumtree or eBay. Lots from a dealer around your price range Sent from my iPhone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gordy.r Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 Best place is gumtree or eBay. Lots from a dealer around your price range Sent from my iPhone Best place is NOT gumtree or ebay for a "mint or good condition" Supra! You'll most likely pay well over the odds at a dealer and chances are it has been picked up by the dealer from an auction or similar bidding site and it could have multiple underlying issues. There's always good second hand Supras coming up on the For Sale section on this forum where the history can be traced and club members can vouch for it etc. Just my advice and 2p worth, others may disagree Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HELLBOY666 Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 No I agree on here is best but there are a few on ebay,gumtree,auto trader and Facebook but you not going to know conditions until you go see it and that's even if you know what to look on that car???? Gordy is right but here at the minute is slow for cars being put up for sale so either take a chance or wait Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sanya Posted April 17, 2016 Author Share Posted April 17, 2016 I am not in a rush, have been waiting for so long a few month will not make any difference. Will keep looking on other site too and keep posting here if anything comes up. Thanks guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cered Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 Best to stick to forums or reputable dealers, I've been looking at Lotus Esprits and the consensus is avoid eBay/Gumtree for those guys too - buy off forums or this website specifically for selling lotus cars. Low cost performance cars = magnets for neglectful owners, so play it safe & avoid Trevor selling his proper mint 1993 N/A with tooning or Megaclit performancesports dealer in Low Wyoming with their fleet of japscrap...

Scooter Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 I wouldn't avoid ebay or gumtree just because there are so few up for sale that it takes so little extra time to look at every site, I'd just be far more circumspect of any that on paper seem tempting.

Sanya Posted April 18, 2016 Author Share Posted April 18, 2016 I realise that they become rare or more appropriate, in demand. Even thought to get a skyline gtst but these went up in price proportionally. So now I am seriously considering a soarer if nothing comes up... Have anyone had any experience turbo or super charging the 1uzfe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashloys Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 I know the 1UZ's can be supercharged very easily using jaguar eaton superchargers (I think), the stock ecu and injectors can them them too (again, I think). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hitbox Junkie Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 I agree on here is the best place to buy one, but i bought a lemon just take someone with you to check any car you go and see. theres been a few for sale in the for sale section but think there a tad higher than your budget Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sanya Posted April 19, 2016 Author Share Posted April 19, 2016 I know my budget is a bit low, but I am open for some offers. Also I am looking at a good condition NA too, and I think my budget for a good manual NA is spot on, or is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annabella Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 You should get an ok Turbo auto for 8k if you keep looking. 8k is pricey for a NA Manual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Agree with everything said so far here. Patience is key! 8k is definitely too much for an NA even with the way the prices are going up. Not meaning to be boastful but I think my manual NA is one of the best on the forum at the minute and I would never dream of advertising it at 8k - just unrealistic.

Scooter Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 I agree with Steve, lots of traders chancing their arm/cornering the market/prepared to sit it out, most important thing is to view some local ones or members cars to get a feel for what is good, average or poor condition. Have to viewed many so far? I truly believe its the hardest time to buy a Supra for 10-15 years, the prices have really firmed up, the choice is minimal and the wear and tear items are only getting more worn in most cases so the risk of further post purchase costs is quite high.

Sanya Posted April 20, 2016 Author Share Posted April 20, 2016 Guys guys I dont have to spend all 8k [[[= If na manual in good condition comes up please send me the figure you have in mind, I will then in turn have a look, view and come up with a figure I am prepared to pay for it, or am I understanding the procedure incorrectly?

Sanya Posted May 7, 2016 Author Share Posted May 7, 2016 still looking? Yes I am. Jon sold his for 6k, manual aero top :S Yes I know, I have seen his on a lot of pics it is a very nice car but needed quite a bit of work done to it to make it mint which scared me off. I am confident that the guy who got it will make it a mint car. I am looking at something I can use straight away without investing more in it now.
