i pay £2600!! if you do buy a supra, go for a tt 1st place if you can!! i had to go for a n/a when a was 20 and now that im tt it is so nice... very fast mate!!

 

ohh and if you have a megane coupe, you will be surprise how small a supra can be!! especial if you are tall... lol...

 

good luck!

Welcome to the club dude.

 

how old are u danny? if u dont mind me askin and who's your insurance with? i put my details in confused and they came back with some right colourful quotes lol im 6"4 to but baby goes behind the misses neway!

 

You'll prob find insurance for imports are about the same, regardless of being NA or TT.

 

And being 6'4" you'll have the drivers seat right back against the rear seats. I'm 6'3" and could do with an extra inch or two legroom in all honesty. Not that I'm complaining, it's a comfortable place to be sat cruising along a motorway :)

The J-spec TT is quoted as having around 280bhp, but everyone agrees that this is only an underestimate due to a "gentleman's agreement" between Japanese car manufacturers. The true figure is much closer to the UK's 326bhp.

But we were straight in there, their problem, not ours!

Price sounds good but still plausible. But make sure they quoted him on a mkiv supra and not a mkiii. It's a common mistake by the insurance call centres, and he'll be up the creek without a paddle if he has a crash and the insurers have the car down as a mkiii.
