newbie wants to buy supra

Hi

im a newbie here hoping to buy a N/A (94 onwards)sz supra in about a month but was hoping some of u could give me some advice on them.

1.what really is the differance between the auto and mannual, some people i speak to say the auto is better and have sold thier mannual for one but then sum say they are much slower??

Im very used to a auto as im coming out of a auto mustang into a supra hopefully.

2.how similar are they performance wise to a r33 gts. i ask as i have never been in a supra but have been in a r33 gts so im just trying to understand what kind of performance im in for? i know on paper they are very similar but wats on paper doesnt always ring true.

im not looking for this car to be a race car or anything, just want a quick car i can enjoy from a-b.

3.i dont suppose there is anyone here in the berkshire area kind enoughf to take me out in thier sz supra (pref not too modified) as i would like to see what there like and hear what a owner thinks of them rather than a dealer giving me a load of bull! i would be more that happy to trow a tenner anyones way for fuel and annoyance costs

reason beeing ive made the mistake of not properly reasearching cars and brought them and been dissapointed so its not gonna happen again. and also i would like to see what a good running, soild sz supra should feel like so that when i go to get mine i will know if something is off

Thanks for any help

your about 2 and a half hours away mate or I would gladly take you out in mine. Comprably equipped I have never seen an auto beat a manual in any car of any type, the driver can make a huge difference though. I dunno much about the technical side of things, I love my 95 N/A to death and it's not even modified yet, either way its a Supra mate, hard to go wrong unless you get a broken one. Cheers

there are many members here who may be willing to sell there car if there looking to upgrade to a TT, i found one and a very good car too a few weeks ago, least if you buy one of a member you have a pretty good clue that its been looked after. i posted in the wanted section and had several offers, the auto box is very good but some people prefer manual i suppose its personal preference. i would personally avoid dealers unless they know there supra`s as a supra on a "jack the lad" car dealer has usually been offloaded there and may have issues.... just my thoughts if you want to travel to staffordshire i also dont mind taking you out in mine (aero top)

yea little bit too far from me but thanks 4 the offer, i was only considering traders if they would give me a good px on my car but its not looking that way so i will def keep an eye on here for any.

not really thinking bout a TT only because in my budget i could only get a auto with very high miles ,just! so id rather get a lower milage sz mannual

£5000 is my top budget and ive seen 50-70miles sz mannuals between 4200-4999 all day long, private and trade, so im not gonna rush,i'll wait to get the one i really want.
