Jay Posted July 14, 2004 Share Posted July 14, 2004 ...he finally buys a Supra! You guys probably dont remember me at all, but a year ago I came on here to seek advice about sourcing a Supra, but was worried due to my age. I searched for a long time, but gave up mainly due to work commitments and insurance premiums, but I have finally bought me a Supe! And it's not your everyday one either, i've bought No.3 genuine TRD 3000GT from Newera Imports. So, the juicy bits you guys normally want to know.. 1993 3.0l TT (Auto) 38k miles Full TRD wide-arch bodykit Blitz Dump Valve HKS Induction Kit 5Zligen Exhaust SARD Boost Controller Already got a list as long as your arm of things I want to buy/do, the main ones being new wheels, different exhaust, ICE Setup and a full custom leather retrim. And here's the obligatory pics: http://www.mediahabit.com/hosted/supra/IMG_0600.jpg http://www.mediahabit.com/hosted/supra/IMG_0596.jpg http://www.mediahabit.com/hosted/supra/IMG_0571.jpg http://www.mediahabit.com/hosted/supra/IMG_0569.jpg http://www.mediahabit.com/hosted/supra/IMG_0587.jpg http://www.mediahabit.com/hosted/supra/IMG_0582.jpg Look forward to becoming a regular in the club, and meeting you all at the various shows/events/meets that I will no doubt be attending!

JamesG Posted July 14, 2004 Share Posted July 14, 2004 Looks very nice! I remember seeing the ad for this on the Newera website. Are you going to be at Billing on the 25th? James. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay Posted July 14, 2004 Author Share Posted July 14, 2004 Hi Guys, Thanks for the responses, i'm glad it's not just me that thinks it looks superb The car doesnt ship from Japan until the 23rd July, so i'm expecting delivery early September. The wait is going to suck, but on the bright side it will give me lots of time to work hard and save for all the goodies i want. James: Might come along to Billing, but obviously not in the Supe, as it'll only be 2 days into it's 5 week journey across the pond! Kevin: The pictures aparantly don't do the widebody justice, so I cant wait to see what it looks like in the flesh! I'm sure I shall be in touch with you for some bits as and when the time comes! Supragal: I've seen yours and it puts me to shame For those that are interested, i'm 22 with 3 years NCB. A fault claim (just me and icey road involved) and 3 points 4 years ago, and i'll be insured fully comp, all mods declared with Elephant.co.uk for £1850.00. Very very excited!!

SkyJawa Posted July 14, 2004 Share Posted July 14, 2004 Lovely car mate Just be careful with elephant, they won't cover replacement of mods, only original parts, and if they have to cough up (and god I hope they don't looking at that mota) then you'll be in for a fight! That aside, hope the wait goes quick for ya! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tDR Posted July 14, 2004 Share Posted July 14, 2004 Very very nice car! Congrats on such a rare find. Being nosey I know, but how much has it cost? Brian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay Posted July 14, 2004 Author Share Posted July 14, 2004 SkyJawa: I couldnt agree more, but the choice of insurers is exceptionally limited for sub 25s on import cars, especially one as impressive as this. Brian: It cost me circa £14k, and i'm haggling on a few bits as well. I do not know what the "going" price is for Supras, as they seem to vary so massively from case to case. I've seen them on AutoTrader for as little as £5k (presumably dogs) up to silly figures of over £20k. Genuine 3000GTs are pretty rare, so I think I have paid sensible money for her, particularly with the mileage being low. Anyone else care to comment on this? Having said that, I guess the going price is whatever the buyer is willing to pay, and i'm happy to pay that for her! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
attilauk Posted July 14, 2004 Share Posted July 14, 2004 Genuine 3000GTs are pretty rare the term Rocking Horse Sh1t springs to mind:p sounds like a bargain to me:cool: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tDR Posted July 14, 2004 Share Posted July 14, 2004 I think that's a bargain price for such a nice condition, genuine TRD3000GT! Congratulations! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Dunk Shaw Posted July 14, 2004 Share Posted July 14, 2004 Think £14000 if you want one is a v good price. Mine will owe me lots more than that when its done + its not an origanal trd kit. Mkiv tt uk £10000 approx for a nice standard one. Trd kit £4000 approx. Fit kit and repaint car £3000 + Then new bigger alloys, at least 18's better with 19's no change from at least £2500. Oh and approx £800 on tyres but hey youve got to buy those as well so shant count the tyres, i think you got a very good deal. My Total £19500 + all my other mods. Should have sold my car and bought the one you got i'd have been much better off. Regards Dunk Ps if you do get new alloys let me know if youd like to sell the ones that are on the car now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt B Posted July 14, 2004 Share Posted July 14, 2004 What is the difference between a genuine TRD3000GT and one with the kit fitted?? Is the real thing marked somewhere on the body?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Dunk Shaw Posted July 14, 2004 Share Posted July 14, 2004 Forgot to mention. Ive just had a very good quote from Adrian Flux ins. Ltd 5k mileage Fully Comp like for like replace on all my mods £768 £500 excess Dont know if they do young guns like yourself but might be worth a try 08700 777888 Regards Dunk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay Posted July 14, 2004 Author Share Posted July 14, 2004 Hi Matt, I'm no expert, but the one I have has this: http://mediahabit.com/hosted/supra/IMG_0585.jpg Sounds like the pricing is fine, so hopefully it all turns out as good as it sounds! Sorry Dunk, Someone has already shotgun'd the alloys, but you have second refusal Jay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
