Thanks you for your reply. My dad has an auto it’s a Volvo so could be completely different and I just don’t like driving it my left foot gets bored :)

 

the UK spec is to much for me at the moment i was thinking of spending about 5 to 7k and around 1k on insurance

 

Thanks again

Sorry me again,

 

I have just been reading a few posts and a lot of you mention running costs are you talking about fuel economy???

 

And servicing, tyres (expect rears to last 10k miles if you're a smooth driver) are looking at £140+ for each rear, regular oil changes.....plus, if things go wrong in a big way, it'll be a big cost to sort it.

I've had my Supra for just over a year, covered 10k miles in her and had no major issues. As a rule, they're very reliable cars, but some of them are now 14 years old, so things are starting to wear out. Mine could do with a full suspension refresh at some point soon, and there's a hole in the aircon compressor.

 

Look after it, and it'll give you mile after mile of driving pleasure.
