smithn05 Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 Firstly I must say that I have used this car daily for the past 7 years, including commuting from Southampton to London and more recently daily to and from Bournemouth. The car is completely reliable and has never let me down. The only reason I am selling is the cost of the fuel Im putting through it Ok the Spec with as much genuine info as I can think of: 1994 J-Spec RZ 6 Speed in Red 155K miles mostly M-way(mine since 35k) - odo reads 166, but I have a BIMTA mileage cert for swap to MPH Mobil 1 thoughout my 7 years of ownership (although services done by me so no history) Everything Standard, even the Jap speed limiter (fuel cut at 120mph ish), apart from SVA requirements. Engine never red lined (6k max) during my ownership Clutch good Gearbox good - notchy when cold, smooth when hot in typical Supra fashion. Engine good - no unusual noises Turbos good - spools up quickly and smoothly Sympathetic ownership in my time - no turbos until engine warm, and off the turbos for last few miles with decent tickover at the end etc Recent rear wheel bearings Recent stock exhaust (2nd hand from a member but in excellent condition) Recent rear pads Thatcham 1 alarm/immobiliser. Now the not so good points, starting at the front: Front edge of bonnet stone chipped and aluminium starting to corrode. Easy respray job at this stage. Valve stem oil seals need doing - blue smoke on start up only - does not burn oil any faster than when I first got it (maybe 1/2l per 1000miles) Heater Matrix blocked, and also over this last summer the aircon ran out of refrigerant (1st time its ever had a problem with it) Heat shield on exhaust rattles at 1200 RPM Stone chips and paint microblisters on roof and rear RHD quarter. The micro blisters were caused by a re-spray of the rear quarters due to panel damage whilst on the boat coming over from Japan. When I bought the car they were non-existant (although I knew about the panel damage) but over time have become apparent. Cambelt due. I think £3750 is a fair price and I am sure I would get this after showing those uneducated in the way of Supra what they can do, but would prefer to sell to member who might know a bit more about them and how to treat them ;-) PM for more info, or to view.

tooquicktostop Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 I have been looking at cheap NA's at this price, could be one of the cheapest TT's to date ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dannysupratt Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 Bloody hell mate i would put another 2 grand on that asking price for a very quick sale, you must have lost the plot:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lebsteif Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 sjeez, if someone will buy the car and sell the parts apart you can make a nice profit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tooquicktostop Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 6 speed alone would fetch £2500, I am very tempted just to buy this but instead I would urge the seller to think again about the price, it is way too cheap unless there is something else your not telling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest coldflame Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 hi would you sell the car to me knowing i am going to strip it as i wouldnt want to offend you when you see the parts on here for sale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesmark Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 It should really be double that price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter P Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 Whilst it's a valid point that the car is worth more in parts, i'm sure any true Supe lover would agree this should be saved and restored to it's former glory rather than being butchered and end up on the scrapheap! If I wasn't looking to get my first property or if this was around when I get my bonus beginning of next year, would have bought it by now as it's a great opportunity to get the ultimate spec even if you did rebuild the engine and replace a load of bits and do a full respray. Really hope someone takes this on as a project as it'd be a crime to strip it. Good luck either way as it's a bargain IMHO. Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris and Alana Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 Oh my god, that is cheap for an N/A especially if it was a manual N/A. Someone is going to get a really good deal (I think this is the cheapest TT I have ever seen ) unless the price goes up (which I and others think you should seriously consider doing) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
