Class One Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 Ok, what's your budget, how old are you, main car or second car, insurance/driving history etc. I know questions questions questions, but give some idea of how much you've got to spend and factor in your running costs/insurance/fuel and the expensive bit aka the slippery slope and lets see what we can get you.

Class One Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 With that you'll be looking at a J spec Auto TT 93/94 av condition with probably no mods or some. Or a newer NA manual 5sp. Have a look in the Supras for sale forum, most of the cars for sale there are members cars that have been well looked after with history since import. There are some bargains to be had, just don't rush and have alook and test drive a few before you decide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nic Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 Or a newer NA manual 5sp. ...or NA manual 6spd Welcome to the club Ste I'd suggest you have a read of the FAQ section first, to get a basic understanding of the different models and what to look for when buying. Anything else you need to know either do a search of just ask. http://mkivsupra.net/vbb/forumdisplay.php?f=60 Good luck with your search.

turbonut Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 hi matey So, all that brainwashing I put you through at JAE actually worked But then you've driven Paul's N/A quite a lot so you know what their about N/A is more practical for an everyday driver if you have to take petrol consumption and mileage into consideration. They also have less things to go wrong than a tt :run: I'd go for a turbo though if you could get one for the money and running costs werent too much of an issue lol Lxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lukeyboy2k Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 :)Hi all, I m ste, i ve just signed up. I met a few of you at jae i was with havard, i am now looking to buy a supra as soon as a can. undecided what to get an n/a or a tt yet. I'd get an early auto TT (that's what I did, very tidy and clean for just over £6K a year ago) - just so you could tell Havard every day that yours is faster.

hoff Posted July 28, 2007 Share Posted July 28, 2007 Welcome Steve. All through JAE i could see the hunger growing and remember Beemers dont indicate;) Try a TT now as you've driven Pauls to try and compare. Good luck matey:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hadyn Posted July 28, 2007 Share Posted July 28, 2007 Get a TT at all costs. The running costs and insurance are very similar on an NA to a TT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Ian Posted July 28, 2007 Share Posted July 28, 2007 Welcome Ste glad you seen the light !! N/A or a TT i went for an N/A first then had ago in a TT then the rest is History LOL N/As are very good and keep up etc etc but its just the Burst of acceleration you get with the TT that did it for me its very addictive, i take it youve got to sell or px the beemer ? as you Know Paul, myself and a few others are Local so any help just ask Cheers Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

juanchan Posted July 29, 2007 Share Posted July 29, 2007 I think our Paul might be jealous! Test drive a few, and watch for that second turbo at 4k rpm. A lot of fun though! You could try mine, but you're a couple of hundred miles away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Geneb Posted July 29, 2007 Share Posted July 29, 2007 first thing you need to do bud is dump havard the guy has got a real bad rep on here for stiring up shit and being banned, after that get a N/A to play with then upgrade to a TT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt k Posted July 29, 2007 Share Posted July 29, 2007 I bought an N/A and just wanted a TT all the time, i ended up buying a TT and losing £ 2000 in a year (bought N/A for £ 6000 and sold for £ 4000), mind you the TT is a slippery slope, besides the running cost which are ridiculous as a daily driver:(, I spent approx £ 3500 on mods the first year and about £5000 over the past 2 months;), so just be prepared to be bitten by the bug.
