What do you think of this car?

I am thinking of buying this car: http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/1001737.htm

I am new to the Supra community, so any help would be greatly appreciated.

I wouldn't buy that car.

It's expensive for an early n/a auto and to top it off it's 'showcar' ugly with the cheapest of seats fitted.

Keep looking imo.

Looks ok - major bodykits though can be hiding major damage, make sure you look for evidence of a crash.

Get the VIN off the owner, then get an HPI check done.

After that drive it, look for any blue oil smoke, white gunk in the oil cap, check it comes up to temp properly and the heater works inside.

Engine should be smooth when running.

The looks will divide people, but if you like it then great.

As Ian said it's too expensive for an N/A IMO

Thank you very much for the help. i think i will keep looking then.

Thanks again, might have saved me a lot of trouble.

Fantastic community this:)

although it may look expensive if you buy a standard one thats a good one you wont see much change out of £3k for a very good one. if you count up the cost of the actual bits thats on that car wheels £780 seats £200 boot build done professionaly not even including the cost of the components £700 bodkit in various guises even 2nd hand for full kit £2-£400 then even if you know a good bodyshop and get it done as a favour another £500

thats not even counting the dash being sprayed and bigs etc so its not a bad price but as soon as you pay it you are losing money but if you get someone who knows their stuff to go and look at it with you and its a good one you would in theory save yourself a lot of time and bother sourcing all the above and then have it off road whilst you get it all done

Is it your car then?

Not a bad looking motor but has all the money been spent on the extras and not maintaing it, and sorry that bonnet is puke

bit ott but it would look ok if it had some turbos , without

Is it your car then?

nope not mine but i got one 3 weeks ago and ive costed everything up and its going to put mine over the cost of that one

i was going to buy this for a little run around but thought a stock one would be best, the TT is costing enough as it is and cant be asked having an N/A in the garage constantly being touched up

horrible

I have always been a huge fan of the TRD kit.

I have just seen this TRD Supra on Ebay: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Toyota-Supra_W0QQitemZ350178250704QQcmdZViewItemQQptZAutomobiles_UK?hash=item350178250704&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=66%3A2%7C65%3A7%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318%7C301%3A0%7C293%3A1%7C294%3A50

Only 33000Miles, looks a very good example to me, what do you guys think of that Supra????
