Annabella Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 Just a warning I think on this on ebay: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1996-Toyota-Supra-Auto-non-Turbo-Low-Mileage-unmodified-and-never-abused-/112161814737?hash=item1a1d5d78d1:g:FQoAAOSw6n5Xs2MQ Auto gear knob and steering wheel look a tad worn for 76000KM, mines done 100000KM and looks fine. Also the MOT history comes up with 70000KM in 2006!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marbleapple Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 Doesn't look too bad a car. You should see my steering wheel... total mess. Car looks far better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mc92 Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 The rest of the interior looks pretty nice though, not much warpage on the dash. I like seeing Supras without the big hump above the speedo. I'm also not sure I'd trust 6k kms over 10 years without seeing some MOT certificates but you never know What's that bung next to the indicator for?

marbleapple Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 What's that bung next to the indicator for? I'd like to know the answer to this too. Not sure I see the issue with the bumper. Just worn lights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripped_fear Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 front bumpers not looking right under the headlights That will be that someone has refitted the front bumper and they have it sat onto of the little black blocks that slot into the slam panel, when they are supposed to clip onto the ridge behind the bumper. I know as mine did it after the repaint. 5 mins work would see it sat correctly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooter Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 mileage could be possible, over in Ireland don't they have very harsh car/road tax so may be only used a few months of the year? It'll be perhaps hard to check with movements to Ireland, so then you start wondering for a Silver NA auto is it worth it!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drift_bear Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 It's even got the oem wood effect dash, if you could get it for a lower price it could be a good find. My front bumper done that aswell after the first paint job a couple of years ago, like Jake said it's a 5 min fix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooter Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 Autotrader has only three Supra's on it at the moment all NA's for £7K, £8K and £10.5K wtf is going on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastcar Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 The bung on the front bumper is a parking sensor! Had on on mine when it first come over from Japan. There is a little switch under the dash to switch it on. Pretty sure it's an optional extra on the j spec I'd like to know the answer to this too. Not sure I see the issue with the bumper. Just worn lights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
st3ven1 Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 So basically all the Irish miles over the last 10 years have just disappeared. 46k miles Anyone buying a Supra these days would be better going in with the mind set that it's been clocked and just ignore the under 100k mileage that it will be displaying. They are so easily wound back to whatever mileage you want it to display for £20. It's an epidemic with Japanese cars and especially the Supra now that it's going up in value all of them will be sold with optimum mileage showing. If you were buying normal car and the bumper wasn't fitted properly and had that wear on the steering wheel and auto shifter you would be asking questions. I'd guess one look at the engine bay would tell you all you need to know about the mileage of this car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
