Jake Posted February 16, 2004 Share Posted February 16, 2004 Autotrader website? BTW, there's no such thing as a UK Spec non turbo MKiv Supra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted February 16, 2004 Share Posted February 16, 2004 Hi and welcome, Firstly there was only one uk model and that was the twin turbo and in manual they are very rare!, although there is a nice red one on autotrader for 13.5k, but I dont know what your current budget is! but you'll be very lucky to get a decent uk manual for under 10k IMO and that will still have over 100k on the clock, which isnt a problem, but thats up to you. I would really recommend that you use the search button as these questions are asked a lot by new members, including myself when I joined the site There will be loads and loads of info to read through, Im still learning more on these cars as there is so much to learn before buying one. And I would advise that you check the resources section and read through various threads on the UK vs jap car sections! Tom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ex 300 owner Posted February 17, 2004 Share Posted February 17, 2004 the only thing that puts me off a jap is the insurance as i know the fun i had with my import 300....but this is offset by the crazy price of the uk cars. ive looked at some awesome manual import examples all the 7k mark which 4-5k cheaper than the uk models which gives me another 7k to spend on ice..i take it the import guys get the same spanking as we used to with the 300 when it comes to parts and servicing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
400BHP Posted February 17, 2004 Share Posted February 17, 2004 These "awesome" 7k cars, are they non-turbos? Just seems really cheap to me..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ex 300 owner Posted February 17, 2004 Share Posted February 17, 2004 id be happy to have either as even non turbo is plenty quick enough i just want it to look pretty.....6 bans is more than enough to cure you of speeding Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick_TC Posted February 17, 2004 Share Posted February 17, 2004 Come on Chris, hard sell time Chris's car, albeit an auto is only 10k, ok £10300, but that means he'll take 10k, forum member, well looked after car, auto's proven quicker on the 1/4 , looks like a minter in a couple of pics Ive seen. Proven s/h unlike the j-specs, what more do you want??..............a manual I here you say?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ex 300 owner Posted February 17, 2004 Share Posted February 17, 2004 im hoping you lot are as mental and funny as the 300 lot are it seems i was mistaken in my first thoughts but having read through the forums im thinking jumping ship may not be that big a change Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
