Guest ChrisK Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 I'm looking into buying a supra tt. Mechanically it has to be running sound but bodywork wise it can be a dog/accident damage (cat c/d). Wheres the best place to look? I've had a gander on ebay but nothing of interest. I couldn't find a dedicated section on this site for breaking/damaged repairables. A lot of people who smack up their supras and get written off would usually be able to buy them back dirt cheap from their insurance company. Has anyone off here done this?

ShamelessTT Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 Might seem cheap Cat C/D , but simply you'll have shit loads of trouble selling it in the future if you should decide too. Thats my main reason why i wouldnt touch it as a supra is hard enough to sell on the best of times, as are most sports cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest CoolsBlue Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 i had a cat d supra. and the front hard a pretty hard hit, rails needed to be jigged out, and the chassis legs. slam panel was desteroyed but if you repair for a living should not be hard for you at all...just if you decide to sell dont expect to get much for it...

Guest ChrisK Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 Well obviously you buy cheaper, you sell cheaper. That's the general rule. I can't seem to find much on repairable/salvage supras. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hadyn Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 My old TT Supra was a write off cat d. A guy who is on here, chris b's brother bought the car for £2.5k and put it back on the road. He might be a good person to contact in regards to getting hold of accident damaged cars. TBH I wouldnt have really wanted my car back after the smash..
