DannoSupra Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 Me and the missus are going up to look at a Jap TT next weekend. Not the guy said that when the car was in japan the turbo's were working fine. But it's been standing for 3-4 months. And now Both the turbo's aint spooling up. What could cause this? He's given me the worse case senario of the tubby's seized, But... I dunno, you guys are the experts What do i need to check if im to go and view this? http://www.japperformanceuk.co.uk/jap/details.php?id=75 (he's dropped it down to £4995) Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Class One Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 I would say walk away and look at another car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Konrad Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 yeah that, you have better chance to buy something proper by going to auction and search a little for similiar or lower price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraAyf Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 Is there no forum member in your area/ the Bradford area that can go up with you and inspect the car. It seems mighty cheap (£4995) for what you are getting:rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 As above mate, walk away. There will be other cars that are fully working Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Branners Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 if its from a dealer its also worth bearing in mind they give nothing away. Its their livelihood getting the absolute maximum for a car and if they are willing to drop £2k off the price then theres a good chance they have checked the car over and cannot fix the problem for less than £2k. If you are really willing to take a chance then barter them down even further saying that stock turbos from Toyota will be £1.5k plus fitting etc. But as others have said, walk away and find a decent car that looks straight. Talk to Jurgen and see what he can imported for your money as well. JB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
