Gazboy Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 Hmmm 1999 never registered in Japan something don't add up Anyone else want to say if i'm right or wrong? Probably wrong Reads to me like he walked into a showroom in Japan, bought it and brought it over to be registered as new in the UK. A bit like going to Germany to buy an Audi TT.

Stu_Fraser Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 Why is it off the road though? This is a better buy I think, still on autotrader too http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=105748 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 Yeah, there's no way I'd pay a penny before seeing the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dangerous brain Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 Um I had the whole going on holiday question but then I read it through and he is working abroad alot. So basically in the same boat I am in. If I wanted to sell any car I own I would be the same as I am working mostly out in Holland and unable to be in the UK for long periods of time (ie as long as it takes to sell a car which can take bloody months). The ad seems gen enough and I am sure should you call the guy he will furnish you with details on how to get the car checked out. If he doesn't then its a walk away job pretty simple really.

slow_matt Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 Same story as mine, it was imported by Brundle back in 1998 new, and there's is another kicking round with the same number plate bar it's the one registered before it, which i saw it in evo mag a few years ago. The one on my drive is exaclty the same spec bar the wheels and mats:( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jezz Posted June 9, 2007 Author Share Posted June 9, 2007 You bought this car! Indeed. Spoke to the guy on the phone, cash on collection. I think thats quite a good price for such a late car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted June 9, 2007 Share Posted June 9, 2007 It's no bargain, seeing as there are 6sp VVTi ones going for 11½k these days. Have you driven a Tipto Jez? Theyre not everyone's cuppa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've driven worse tips tbh. This is for the guy i work with, he wanted tiptronic vvti and i guess the fact its a really late car sort of sold him on it. I can see a 6 speed going in it if he doesnt like the buttons though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I nearly bought a red supra from the same place years ago but didnt when on the test drive all the brake fluid ran out of the rear brakes lol Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jezz Posted June 26, 2007 Author Share Posted June 26, 2007 This turned out to be a neglected nail. Something very odd about the whole car as well. So we walked away. '6 pot brakes, better than the earlier 4 pots'. Er, neither then, just 2 pot fronts. On a 99 vvti?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jezz Posted June 26, 2007 Author Share Posted June 26, 2007 Hmm smells of dodgy old fish then. How long til its relisted then I just did some research. Vin plate decodes as a 4 speed auto SZ. That cant be right surely? Was a shame to see a late car in such a neglected state. The bodywork was terrible, mould around the lights, evidence of filler work on the front end, and the arms/underside was rustier than a 1975 allegro!
