Carnage Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 Hello, I'm looking for an Toyota Supra TT or Single. I'm based in Tayside but I'm willing to travel for the right car. Would prefer low mileage, facelift + standard and / or subtle exterior mods. Would prefer BPU or Single. Something that has been very well kept after. Don't mind if it is Manual or Automatic. Clean and undersealed, with pictures of before and after, is a bonus. Not a deal breaker as I can get this done myself. Not keen on bodykits, like the stock look but do like aftermarket wheels. Would prefer to buy off someone on here, so I can have a better idea of the cars history etc. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wonga Spar Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 http://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/toyota/supra/toyota-supra-2jz-gte/6330815 A stock TT on ebay just sold for £8,500 which looked really clean (and this was an auction). No idea where you got 13k from as to be honest, they're really not that expensive. http://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/toyota/supra/twin-turbo-auto--super-low-genuine-miles--one-owner-for-last-18-years/5812621 This one has 20k miles and is bone stock! It doesn't get better than that, and they're still only asking £13k, and Tom Harvey are notoriously shitty for outrageous mark-ups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea where you got 13k from as to be honest, they're really not that expensive. Tom Harvey (the dealer with disgustingly big markups) doesn't even charge 13k for a TT auto. http://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/toyota/supra/twin-turbo-auto--super-low-genuine-miles--one-owner-for-last-18-years/5812621 This one has 20k miles and is bone stock! It doesn't get better more valuable than that, and they're still only asking £13! Thanks for the links. Well, basically, I've got an opportunity to spend around 13K (for a new car) so want the best Supra I can get for the money. If I can't find a Supra I like, I'll consider something else. That one for 12.7K does interest me but it seems a bit sparse on details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I'd go for a fresh import every time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wonga Spar Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 That sounds like a pretty fun opportunity indeed. If the biggest red-flag on a Supra advert is "sparce details" you're probably onto a winner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will find a link. http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?331965-2000-Toyota-Supra-VVTI-Twin-turbo-Tiptronic-SOLD and another- http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?336014-Facelift-vvti-tiptronic-2000-plate and this was in the warmer parts of the year!

If the biggest red-flag on a Supra advert is "sparce details" you're probably onto a winner It's "sparse", not "sparce". I'm not seeing it as a "red-flag", but I can see from your replies in this thread that you don't like me much for some reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Neither of them are fresh imports though. And given the current exchange rare, and thr way these cars are going up in price in Japan, £13k is a bargain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mckinnon.craig Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 I payed 11.5k from a member a month ago for my twin tiptronic and it's mileage was more than 3x the amount of that dealers. I feel kinda sad now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carnage Posted October 27, 2016 Author Share Posted October 27, 2016 Aw mate I'm sorry if I came across like that! I was half-asleep typing on my tablet in bed! No worries, mate. Just to be clear my budget is 13K but that doesn't mean I'll pay over the odds, and if I see one I like for 10-11K for example, I'll keep the extra 2-3K for any initial maintenance / mods.

puna Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 Good luck to you Carnage, I had a similar budget to you and waited around 3 months before I eventually bought mine. As some have already said, just don't rush it http://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/toyota/supra/toyota-supra-2jz-gte/6330815 A stock TT on ebay just sold for £8,500 which looked really clean (and this was an auction).

It doesn't get better than that, and they're still only asking £13k, and Tom Harvey are notoriously $#@!ty for outrageous mark-ups. I was seriously interested in that black one that is on PH, the only reason I didn't go to view it was because of the distance, literally opposite ends of the country Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
