You do realise how rare that spec is don't you? There were only 600 or so UK Supra's made, of which only a few were manual, of them only a few were black. A good few have been written off since then too.

 

Its a shame as you've missed out on two lovely examples in the last month. Be prepared to wait a while for one (On the other hand you might get lucky ;) )

 

 

@glosphil, pm sent

 

 

@ homer: Ive unfortunately realised that since joining the site but im prepared to wait or get a suitable JSPEC supra. Most likely will wait. Again, raging i missed Graham-S supra for sale a while back but il have my eyes peeled...

Black IS the best colour.... by far :)

 

Good choice mate & good luck with your search. There's plenty of knowledge on here & you can't really go wrong buying a member's car on here as they are all so well looked after.

 

too right..

 

Ive got an incredible amount of info off this site already and by the looks of things i most likely will buy from someone on the site

Right lads, well i cant make my mind up whether to go Jspec or UK, uk are obviously rare and im willing to wait for the right one. Unfortunately with my budget it will have to be a 1993-95 or early 96 but should i go jspec or uk?

 

Uk have better spec obv, but mileage and price good bit higher too!

 

:search: :search:

Sweet motor mate, but colour was never an issue..

Uk or Spec, just hoping to get peoples preferences and reasons why, baring in mind budget and resale vlalue!

Have you read the guides on here?

 

In my opinion the cars are not really different performance wise. As for looks, I prefer the Jspec as I don't like the headlight washers or bonnet scoop. But UK has better headlights. More J Specs have cloth interior but you can find several with leather.

 

Then all your left with is price and re-sale, re-sale must be simliar, I'm guessing they would both loose the same amount? Maybe wrong. But insurance is much cheaper on a UK Car. But not cheap enough to make up for the saving on buying a J Spec. And your much more likely to find a J spec.

Spec wise its not really worth arguing about and performance is so similar on both cars, depends on if the extras in the UK car are really worth bothering about for your own purchasing reasons.

 

But some extras like big brakes, LSD, leather, cruise etc might be more desireable, but you can find these on many JDM cars too.

 

Value wise, a UK6 is gonna hold its value better than an equivilent import, insurance benefits being one reason and rareness being the other.
