jevansio Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 How common are these? Being a facelift would they be of the Tiptronic variety? I've scanned the entire for sale section and haven't seen 1, loads of manuals. Anyone seen one for sale? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jevansio Posted March 8, 2009 Author Share Posted March 8, 2009 What you planning Jay? Nothing big , thinking about an NA to get me to work & back, the MR2 is nice & all but is a manual, I feel like something a bit bigger & an auto, and I love the Supra shape. I look at the completely stock cars & they look lovely. No need for a turbo, I just want the look & the reliability & the ease of driving Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jevansio Posted March 8, 2009 Author Share Posted March 8, 2009 What about a nice "pimped" GS300? , naa, if I went for a saloon it'd be an XJ Why Don't you buy a Diesel Cause they're sh*te , diesel stinks, they rattle when cold & take ages to warm up. I bought Rachel a Corsa diesel, the 1st diesel we've owned and although mpg is a bonus I hate driving it, petrol only for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have the 330 though, 335 drinks as much as a petrol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got a 535d and I regularly get about 38mpg; not bad for 340bhp and 640Nm! I'd love to see that engine in the Supe, with a proper 6 speed manual Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnny g Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 Actually, Jay, just had a thought. An automatic, N/A Supra would be ok, because you could get Paul to fit an LPG on it and have the best of both worlds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnny g Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 Ooh. I've given myself an idea now... I might give my mum the 535d and I could get an N/A auto and have LPG. Cunning plan ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really appreciate the offer JB, but I fancy something a bit bigger TBH, the MR2 is great, but feels a little cheap due to it being so small. I would really like a Supra TBH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benyon Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 Are N/A facelift auto's rare or something? because now you mention it the facelifts seem to be mainly manual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
