To be around for so long with low miles like that would make me very suspicious. Buyer beware. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah your most probably right, although it was originally up for 18-19k!, maybe they have underestimated the demand for the uk car?, because I dont think it is as strong as it used to be.

dude Posted January 31, 2004 Share Posted January 31, 2004 Looks like an absolute bargain compared to the Imports available with similar mileage for £5K less Dude:flame Dev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MONKEYmark Posted January 31, 2004 Share Posted January 31, 2004 i dont think that insurance costs for uk/jap cars will be that bad. insurance varys so much theses days. its more down to what they can get away with to me.if you shop around you can get a good deal. its down to lots of things, like age ,NCB, alarms. area you live. i have never had a claim in my life got a top alarm and still it goes up every year. i asked if it would be cheaper insurance if i got tracker fitted and they said no. i have started a second NCB going on my astra. i got my car and did not think about insurance. got the car because i wanted it. there is lots of bargain cars out there. with jap cars you seem to get good value for your money. also never had a problem getting parts from america at a lot less than prices over here.

toyotasuprauk Posted January 31, 2004 Share Posted January 31, 2004 Its is probably the lowest mileage ever but its far too expensive in my opinion but I guess it depends on how much someone wants a good UK car. Personally I'd rather have a UK car with a few more miles and save several thousand. Or even better buy a much newer facelift import and save even more still. Didn't know UK's came with black leather though, anyone else ever seen or heard of one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharpie Posted January 31, 2004 Share Posted January 31, 2004 I take it you have a black carpet as well then ? o/t Good luck Bobbeh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted January 31, 2004 Share Posted January 31, 2004 I dont think the price is that extortionate, if someone out there wants possibly one of the last, lowest used examples of a UK supra (if this is) then that price is fair enough. Personally I'd only pay that price if it were manual.... but 19k miles is barely used. Ta Pete, got my prov in the mail today.. w00t Now I just have to book it all up..

Bradb Posted January 31, 2004 Share Posted January 31, 2004 Is he mad selling it for that price i reckon if he held out he would get £20,000!!!!

Matt Harwood Posted January 31, 2004 Share Posted January 31, 2004 I could be wrong, (probably am), but I think black leather only came as standard with silver UK's. And yes, they have a black carpet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toyotasuprauk Posted February 1, 2004 Share Posted February 1, 2004 A white or silver car with cream interior would look a bit weird but on a red car looks good. So I guess it makes sense to fit black interiors to these two colours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry Yeah we do have a few pass through! Don't worry mate, I wasn't insulted, just concerned that something may not be working properly... I do agree that a black trim suits silver and white cars better... In fact, now that mines yellow, I could do with changing my cream trim to a black one!
