hi guys. going to look at supra tt manual.

its a fresh import and not registered yet.

Is there any particular flaws with them that i should look for?

 

it seems too cheap to be real.

 

can you tell if it's a genuine tt from chasis number?

 

it's a 96 tt manual.

chasis number jza80-0032625

 

thank you. hopefully you can advise.

Hmmm, wouldn't class that 'as too cheap'... It is £8 for a bodykitted up car..

 

My first worry would be, what is hiding underneath that body kit.

Either my kids have been drawing on the screen or it looks like there are marks.. also the white doesn't seem the same shade....

 

Sun visor looks missing as well....holes in the triple pod where the glove box goes indicating it had some toys install on it that have been taken off.

thats just it gav. i'm not paying 8. nowhere near.

i think it's a graphic on the side (which i'll obviously remove. lol) what i would like to know is do you think it's a genuine tt manual or a conversion?

Get a shot of the VIN plate.. that should be able to tell you.

Looks tidy, Personally I wouldnt of paid that much with how the market is at the moment... correct me if im wrong guys, but would 6k be around the correct mark... im willing to bet that 40k miles is not genuine.... WAY too easy to pull the plug out the back to stop it ticking over...

Phone your local toyota dealer and give them the vin number and chassis number also get the paint code and check that aswell.

 

Your local toyota dealer should be able to look up the cars original speck.

 

Edit: it will not matter that it is an import as all cars are on a central directory.

Couldn't see a bolt missing on the strut brace.

 

Looks like you could have a got a good one if it was less than £6.8k. Interior and engine bay sure need a de-clutter though!

 

Only thing to check is the full VIN details as the chassis number doesn't tie up to a '96.

hi guys.just to let you know the old sayings true!

 

if something seems to good to be true it probably is!

 

cars ROUGH!!!

 

it has many good mods on it but at same time has many flaws!

the kits hanging off, the tyres have are as bald as vin diesel.

the top end sounded a bit tinny for my liking.

 

All in all....

 

AVOID! hopefully i can save someone else the wasted journey. :)
