uncle kev Posted April 21, 2004 Share Posted April 21, 2004 Hi all, Iv been looking ou the autothader web site and seen some strange prices. Eg. P reg N/A auto with 35,000km standard car for £8,995 L reg N/A auto with 62,000km standard car for £8,995 how come you could pick a much newer, less milage car for the same price???? Obviously depending on the condition of the car, but to me thats a huge difference in car for the same price! are these prices just plucked out of the air by the traders ?? Also , how rare are manual aerotop N/A's ??? cheers kev..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scooter Posted April 21, 2004 Share Posted April 21, 2004 the prices are all over the place............ parkers guide is not really in touch with the supra market and understates the value...... most traders know this and therefore set there own (market/margin based i spose) prices. However some traders pickup sup's at parkers 'trade' money and sell on for parkers 'A1' money which is still low in the current market....... private sellers can sometimes put there cars up at parkers type money too without realising the 'true' market worth of it.... Don't completely write off the cheap ones and don't assume the expensive ones will necessarily be the best.......go take a look at'em...... BTW i've never seen a Manual aerotop in the flesh, only read of them being available....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Faye Posted April 21, 2004 Share Posted April 21, 2004 Look forward to seeing it. If it helps selling the car it has to be said Scooters Blue supe is gorgeous and very rare model indeed. There are no other 6sp Facelift NA's on the board, and that colour is to die for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DET Posted April 21, 2004 Share Posted April 21, 2004 Was hoping for a TT, but might be starting a job in a month’s time and will be racking up some miles, so a N/A to me seems as best choice as the cars going to have to be as reliable as possible. Should be finding out about the new job in a few days so I might be in contacted if you’re selling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faye Posted April 21, 2004 Share Posted April 21, 2004 The SZ-Rs are pretty nippy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DET Posted April 21, 2004 Share Posted April 21, 2004 If I’m going to get a N/A I think this one’s top the wanted list. Have you got any time for this car (0-60 & ¼ mile)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its is genuinely a very good driving car, no turbo 'kick' but nippy as Faye says....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have some santa pod timing slips for my old (stock) TT (4) and the SZ-R (don't worry i only managed the one run in this one!) there is approx 1.5 secs between the two.
