heartworm Posted September 25, 2005 Share Posted September 25, 2005 Looking at getting a supra in the next month or so, or as soon as I can tbh, what does the 2+2 mean in this advert, is it somethign really simple im missing? advert Only have around 8K to play with, thats me hopeing to get an £800 trade in for my current car (lowest valuation to date, someone has put a nice big key mark up the side, its a vectra 2.5 V6 P reg) so looking at the non-turno price range I think. Anywhere else to look other than autotrader? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted September 25, 2005 Share Posted September 25, 2005 It just means 2 adults plus 2 hobbits with legs amputated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobbeh Posted September 25, 2005 Share Posted September 25, 2005 Hehe... you can realistically get 3 people in the supra... legroom is compromised tho, especially if you sit behind me, then as Rogue says amputees need only apply Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian W Posted September 25, 2005 Share Posted September 25, 2005 that car looks like mine with different wheels!! (and mine's an auto).... the 2+2 just means that you will find it very difficult to fit anyone larger than a five year old in the back seats mate. (if you're tall then no-one's sitting behind you). it basically means that there's two rear seats there but very, very limited leg-room. as for your £8k you could actually get a TT for that now i believe. have a search on here and look in the 'for sale' and traders sections, you may be pleasantly surprised!

Ian W Posted September 25, 2005 Share Posted September 25, 2005 damn you guys Bobbeh and Rogue.......just too quick for me (probably as you have turbos!!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

how_supra Posted September 25, 2005 Share Posted September 25, 2005 Don't disregard the autos. The autobox on the supra is very good. Have you test driven any yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heartworm Posted September 25, 2005 Author Share Posted September 25, 2005 not yet, I know everyone tells me the autos are very good, but I enjoy my gear changes, Im in Scotland, coming down south at the beginning of october and hoping to go for a test drive in some then before I make a decision, still a young driver so the TT might be a bit daft at the moment, the Vectra V6 has 170BHP so whatver Ig ot o, its going to be a big jump up.

Yeah, but he managed to quote me on the "adults" rather than the much more humourous "hobbits" edit I made Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My advice is test drive both a manual and an auto. I like my gear changes as well, but strangely I don't miss them at all. Good luck with the search.

Jurgen-Jm-Imports Posted September 25, 2005 Share Posted September 25, 2005 a decent auto tt from 7k+ a manual tt you may find one but a little more in your budget you should find one. as for non turbo manual get a sz-r from around 6k to 8k there is a guy who i imported a full veilside sz-r in white look here http://www.jm-imports.co.uk/sold/WhiteSZR.html he wants around 9k but you never know his missus has had twins he may also take your vectra in too, car was a grade 4 at auctions in immac condition too.

heartworm Posted September 25, 2005 Author Share Posted September 25, 2005 if I go the route of the non-turbo SZ, what do I tell my insurance company it is, as they only have an F1, N/a, turbo, twin turbo, and twin turbo import on there computers (Im with elephant). They agreed a price for the twin turbo import, but couldnt find anything for the non turbo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
