AndyT Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 7.5 plus mate. Depends on what u want. If u wanta risk go independent. Don't unless u know agarage owner. Stick to Jurgen @ jm imports. I've got nothing wrong, but still wish I'd stumped up the extra. It's not what he says it's what he doesn't. Believe it and you're not going wrong.

Muffleman Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 I sold a good condition GZ TT with sensible miles and history for £5,500, they do come up from time to time. It was far from a 'dog'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why the hell would a car bought from Japan with no service history possibly be less risky than a car bought from the UK? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snooze Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 Mine is going on sale this week. It's a stock '93 J-Spec 6-Speed TT. 110,000km on the clock. It's spent the last two days having a full fluids, filters, plugs and belts service at Phoenix including new cam belt. Mark himself has offered to vouch for the quality of the car if required. Looking for 8k. Don't think you'll find a better manual TT with a reputable recommendation at that price. Drop me a PM if you want any more info!

Guest Geneb Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 i got a tt with just 42k on the clock real tidy and only £6250 bud ,some people just hike up the price to help reclaim the cost of there mods, £7k is plenty give c.j. a call Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 Nicest TT I saw all last year was a private buy, in the UK, J-Spec auto for just under 5K UK pounds. If you can't buy another for the same price or less you ain't trying. Mint N/A manual bought about a month ago at auction for 2700. What people want and what they get vary enormously Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What people want and what they get vary enormously I wish I knew where you get these cheap deals from Chris! I looked for 4 months and never found a deal anywhere near that that wasn't seriously flawed in some way. I suppose expereince counts for a bit but no one on here offered prices like that either! H.

JohnA Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 ...Will I get a reasonable one for approx £7/8k... I paid less for mine (UK spec) and that was 2-3 years ago. The market moves up and down (mostly down of course) but if you know what you're looking for and are prepared to move fast, I guess the answer is YES:) Keep looking at all the usual places, and for viewings take along some cash and someone else who knows what to look for (he may have to play devil's advocate as well) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 I feel like I should get a TT, but I can't justify getting rid of my N/A.. it's just too good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrivingTheDream Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 For that price I'd say you could definitely get a decent TT manual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't buy and sell cars anymore, or at least very rarely, and only in the trade, but the TT was bought by a guy on here, privately, and he isn't a trder. Anyone can buy at auction. The N/A came from the docks auction at Liverpool. Again, bought by a none trader. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carl0s Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 My facelift TT auto was £6,995. I just think all this "Don't buy a used one from the UK - get a fresh import" is really going to hurt us all come resale time, and most of us do look after our cars and spend lots of money making things right (£600 new sidemount being my most recent, paintwork tidyups when needed, better shocks, etc.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl0s Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 most cars we bring in from japan have some sort of service history Sure, as do most privately sold cars. If you want something specific, then it's worth having someone look at bringing it over from Japan - 6spds being rarer over here is one such example, but other than that there is plenty to choose from over here already and you can go and look at as many as you want first hand. Some people just seem to have this 'fresh import' mentality, where they think a used car brought from Japan is somehow more like a NEW car, than a used car bought from the UK.
