Import

Hey guys, I have just joined the forum.

 

I would like to buy a Supra (Import to be specific) and want it to be a 98TT Manual. Budget is approx 6,000.00 (GBP) but that would be pushing it (what is your recommended budget JUST FOR CAR?) - I would like some spare money for performance parts (HKS Intake, and mainly HKS parts - again any recommended part manufacturers? as well as Electronics i.e. ECU boost controller gauges, even seats, maybe sparco or recaro, and various other things) and maybe later body kits / wheels!

 

I have had a Honda Prelude, and modified that, mainly for drift but have been a Supra fan since I was 16, am 24 now so I would like to fulfill that dream!!!

 

Where is the best place to import? (YES I have used Google)

 

I though you guys would be the best people to come to.

 

Thanks

For 6k mate you will be lucky to get a good auto, or a manual N/A. Saying that your looking at the right time of year so you could get a good deal.

 

I would be very warey of any manual selling for 6k. A decent one will be around 10k. Usually 8k for the older more standard ones all the way up to 20k for the fully sorted more recent models.

As Scott said mate

 

You have no chance of getting a standard TT manual for £6k. Auto's are around that price (like mine that's for sale now! ;)) and even then you wouldn't get a 1998.

 

You're looking at a pre facelift (93 - 96) TT with an auto box. The only manual you'll get for that price is a non-turbo.

Thanks, very helpful, looks like I might wait a couple of months to get 11 grand, what am I looking at if i want a 94+ Single turbo?

 

Hows a single turbo? Would you go for that and maybe get a large Greddy turbo like T67 maybe? I mean I could wait like 6 months and maybe bring up the budget to 11000.00 (GBP) Advisable?

 

I might consider a single turbo and stick in a large turbo in it at some point. Good idea?

 

I would like a 98 but I guess I was being hopeful

Also budget £1,000 for insurance!

Welcome Jads, you'll struggle to get a 98tt manual on that budget and couldn't have one imported until 2008 anyway. it's worth looking though especially at this time of year, you might well pick up a bargain.

Thats why I couldn't find many 98tt's or importing them, thanks a lot, has revealed a lot to me. I might get a project car like a 94t then, would be cheaper and leave a considerable amount of money left over.

 

Or just buy one from here...
