mikyrc Posted December 25, 2004 Share Posted December 25, 2004 Hello guys i've found a supra for sale near my area, so i just want your oppinions about it. http://eng.autoscout24.com/home/index/detail.asp?ts=3796238&id=41989408&sc=&make=70&model=2063&pricefrom=0&euroto=0&zip= The text in spanish says: Spotless. new 19" rims, alarm with auto windows closing, shift knob, aftermarket pedals, afetrmarket handbrake, painted windows, aftermarket exhaust (catback, still with stock cats), intake air filter, Dump Valve, etc... Very new (???), never had an accident and the car always stays in a garage, never outside in the street. It has a lot of mileage 162.000kms = 100.000miles and it's a 1993. Price 22.500euros but i think he can lower it to 21.500 or 22.000. Is worth to buy it or not? Thanks for your help!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MONKEYmark Posted December 25, 2004 Share Posted December 25, 2004 its only a 5 cylinder, maybe its an audi engine under the bonnet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikyrc Posted December 25, 2004 Author Share Posted December 25, 2004 yeah, probably the owner knows about his car as much as i know about nuclearfusion. He probably buyed it already modded. But this thing aside, what do you think about buying it? Too many miles? HE told me he changed the clutch 6 months ago. He started asking 25.000, when i contacted him he lowered to 24.000 and 4 days after he lowered again to 22.500. Seems he has some hurry to sell it, don't?

mikyrc Posted December 26, 2004 Author Share Posted December 26, 2004 Ok, i see. If you ever know from anyone LHD tell me. Ok, back to the supra in question: At 100.000miles can i expect to have a lasting engine or i will start to have failures everywhere? I mean, will i have to be prepared to spend a lot of money in repairings? At 100.000 will the valve seals be at their endings, pistons rings worn, rod or crank bearings starting to fail, turbos worn or leaking oil,... Or the supra engines will last much more miles without having to touch the internals? Thanks!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If its been looked after it should be fine but get someone who knows a supra to check it out , in all my time in Spain i never saw one Sup , a few 300ZX's but never a supra Dude Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikyrc Posted December 26, 2004 Author Share Posted December 26, 2004 Yes man, here are very very rare and expensive!! The problem is to get someone with supra knowledge. I think i'll try to go to Germany first and see if i can get a low mileage one from there. If not maybe i go to see this high mileage one and test it if he still have it. Which things should check? - black/white smoke en the exhaust when cold. - Whine sound of the 2nd turbo at around 3.500rpm. - worn brake discs. - A compression test (must be a pain!) Were you living in Spain? Where? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
