Jake Posted December 17, 2005 Share Posted December 17, 2005 Looks fairly OK to me. Obviously it's an auto for that price. No mention of service history. More and better pics would be nice before travelling to see the car. THERE IS A TINY RUST SPOT ON JOIN FROM REAR BUMPER TO SPAT How come? seeing as both the bumper and the spat are plastic.

zabe_1 Posted December 17, 2005 Share Posted December 17, 2005 is this not a bargain for a uk car, if i was buying now id be very tempted, as the uk spec supra wud save me a grandi compared to an import in insurance quotes. definitely need better pics, especially of this rust spot he's talking bout. however the seller himself has good feedback on ebay. 366positives so seems to be a genuine seller...however the service history is important...but overall seems a good price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted December 17, 2005 Share Posted December 17, 2005 the seller himself has good feedback on ebay. 366positives so seems to be a genuine seller...Most of the seller's feedback is as a buyer. Seems that most of the items he has sold are leotards for pre-pubescent girls. :NotSureWhichSmileyToUseHere: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suprababy Posted December 17, 2005 Share Posted December 17, 2005 HI Thats my car - i am a she and not a he! Im putting up more pics it was getting dusky and they wernt coming out well.

suprababy Posted December 17, 2005 Share Posted December 17, 2005 The owner before me must have changed it when they put the kit on. It is 100% uk - i didnt even know there was a difference between the two bumpers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jurgen-Jm-Imports Posted December 17, 2005 Share Posted December 17, 2005 why would they change bumper if they are nearly identical? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pig Posted December 17, 2005 Share Posted December 17, 2005 Personally i dont think he would have changed the front bumper just to get rid of the horns Probably been in a front end,.... but then lots have. Seems cheap except for the no service part. i would be very careful. the last cheap uk i went to look at was a bag of sh1t, never seen anything so bad. If your going to go and see it take someone who 1 knows cars and 2 know supras. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guru Posted December 17, 2005 Share Posted December 17, 2005 I didn't know UK specs have the gold badge too...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Rob_ Posted December 17, 2005 Share Posted December 17, 2005 ive got a Storm blue UK spec auto. i paid 7700 for her with 107k miles. shes got full service history, i dont think id have bought it if there was no s.hist. the car was from bournemouth and i live up north so i had an RAC check done on the car prior to me going picking it up. cost me about 300 quid but picked up on every scratch, dent, tap, knock, failed / failing component and any evidence of resprayed pannels and crash damage. the badges on mine are gun metal / anthracite, ive not seen gold before on a UK. theres also no active spoiler if the bumpers been changed and a splitter fitted. the price is well cheap for a UK spec, however it would need a real good going over cos id be a little dubious about no s.history.

suprababy Posted December 17, 2005 Share Posted December 17, 2005 thanks for your comments - i put the badges on myself - plenty of supra owners have changed their badges to gold or newer chrome. Just because previous owners didnt pass on or keep service history dosnt mean its a pile of s**t. I have bought cars before without service history - imports rarely have service history - to me if the car looks great, drives great then its good for me.

carl0s Posted December 17, 2005 Share Posted December 17, 2005 Personally i dont think he would have changed the front bumper just to get rid of the horns Probably been in a front end,.... I'd hate to think everyone thought that. I changed mine to get rid of the horns. Bodyshops didn't want to know about filling the holes in the UK bumper.

Lucifer Posted December 17, 2005 Share Posted December 17, 2005 I too have changed mine to get rid of the Dildos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pig Posted December 17, 2005 Share Posted December 17, 2005 Ill get my coat then lol! i was suspicious because i went to see a storm blue uk spec with gold badge on the front and j spec front bumper and it was a shambles, never seen such a bad one in my life. was worried that it was this one.

suprababy Posted December 18, 2005 Share Posted December 18, 2005 wasnt mine - i put the badges on myself and this is the first time ive advertised it for sale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnA Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 So with this bumper, does the active spoiler work fine then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
