florian Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 Hello! I'm joining the community because I'm going to buy a Supra on tuesday or wenesday. The Supra I want to buy is on Bradford, and it will be very cool if someone here can take a look on it! I don't want to come from France for a bad car. Pics are always nice, but it will be better if someone from here see the car himself. PM me if you can check the car! Thanks Florian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 I'm near Bradford but might struggle to get over there and view a car for you Do you have a link to the garage selling the car or the car itself so that we can see if it, or the garage, is known to us?

florian Posted June 25, 2008 Author Share Posted June 25, 2008 No, I just speak with the guy in MSN. The garage seems to be "xtreme karz", but i'm not sure. I'll check that with him and I post the detail. The supra is a UK white 1995, auto 108k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 There is a guy who used to post on here to sell cars a while ago who is based in Bradford, always seems to have a couple of UK ones to sell, I can't remember his username now though. I can't access Autotrader.co.uk at work but I wonder if it's listed on there? Edit: This one? http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/571530.htm If it is I think one of the chaps who works there is a member on the MR2 forum, they seem to shift quite a lot of stock and I haven't heard any bad feedback about them, it's a bit further away for me though, Shipley is the other side of Bradford. If it is that one and it's mechanically OK it seems like quite a bargain! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
florian Posted June 25, 2008 Author Share Posted June 25, 2008 Yes it's this one, but now it's on another garage, I call RA motors and the gave me the telephone number of "xtreme karz". Xtreme karz is located in Bradford, but don't know exactly were. The guy tells me that the car have got a full service history, the car is absolutely mint, the car is cheap because the cambelt (or timing belt, I never remember in english how you say that!) must be done in 1000 miles. In pictures the car seems to be in good condition, but there's too much things i can't see, it's why it will be cool if people can check few points for me, like smoke, rust on the chassis... To be honest, I already put a deposit on the car because it'seems to be a bargain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spartan Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 Hmmmm - could it be this one or a 'clone' of it? UK CAR SUPRA 3.0 TWIN TURBO (1994) Sorry for the repost - Michael beat me to it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
florian Posted June 25, 2008 Author Share Posted June 25, 2008 Spartan, it's exactly this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spartan Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 Well, I might not be that far away. Do you have a postal code if not a full address? Xtreme Karz doesn't seem to be a garage, more of a 'fan site'. So perhaps this is a private sale (no warranty)? Might be worth asking how/why they have got the car.

and1c Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 Be careful with distance purchases. You've made a wise move getting one of the guys on here to check this car exists first and is worth buying... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spartan Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 How about asking the seller if they'll agree to one of these too? RAC Vehicle Inspection To be totally safe, you'd be best to organise this (rather than let them do it) ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
florian Posted June 25, 2008 Author Share Posted June 25, 2008 So the garage is xtreme karz, and the adress is : bd9 5dp bradford jesmond avenue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RAC Vehicle Inspection To be totally safe, you'd be best to organise this (rather than let them do it) ... it's worth doing and may save you some money in the long run, however do bear in mind it's 13yrs old so will have some wear and tear when you get the report back.

florian Posted July 2, 2008 Author Share Posted July 2, 2008 Finally I pick it up yesterday, and it's mint! It's a lot of car for the money, full service history, looks and drive superb! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michael Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 Glad it worked out well, it certainly looked like a good example, sorry I couldn't help out and view it in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marbleapple Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 Sorry I missed this thread. I am only 2 min away from Shipley. I would have happily come with you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 This probably won't come as a nice suprise, but that car was for sale on Autotrader for £2k less from a private seller to start with. It sold within a day and RA motors put the price up by £2000!!! I wish I had bought it myself, seem like quite a bargain! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
