Guest sprx Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 First of all, hello everyone! this is the best owners club I've come by, learnt quite a bit from it. The reason I'm posting is because I'm thinking about moving to a Supra. I'm ideally looking for a J-spec 6 speed TT, because that's the only one I can get insured on strangely... I know its a MASSIVE step up for me, but I feel I need a car like this before the government puts us all on water powered cars, and fuel is not getting any lower in price. Is it possible to get a J-spec 6 speed TT for around 6k, that shouldn't give me much problems? Because I really only have a job to fund cars, since its the joy of my life lol, but sadly its a bad paying job. Any help or suggestions appreciated.

michael Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 Welcome aboard. You might find a TT6 for £6000 but I'd expect a few bills to crop up and if you are struggling to raise the funds for the car itself you might not enjoy the cost of running one.

tooquicktostop Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 You will get a nice TT6 for 6K IMO, make an offer to sellers and see what happens, there are a few nice cars that are not selling at the moment and a cash offer may be tempting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 if you are struggling to raise the funds for the car itself you might not enjoy the cost of running one. £72 to fill the tank - for about 280 miles on an NA, less on a TT with a heavy foot.

Luka-P Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 £6k should find you a nice example. Sticking around the club may also prove to be a better buy as they tend to be cared for. An auto isnt all that bad either though, Id try one out before ruling it off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest sprx Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 I'd prefer to buy a car owned by an enthusiast, I have been looking at in the classfields, they are some very nice examples. Yea, I'll definitely have to drive both a manual and auto, I just prefer having control over the gears, and I'm not a big fan for the noise of autos. Nice input, cheers.

Guest sprx Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 Another thing I forgot to mention is I quite fancy a gt4 as well. Although the insurance is a bit more for the GT4, if its a little less to run then that shouldn't be a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
