Hi All,

 

Have been reading a lot of comments on this site, seems you guy's and girls have a lot of experience and give good advice. My situation is that I am looking for my first Supra, ideally would like a UK TT auto. Have money burning a hole in my pocket, but looking for the right one. This will be used only at the weekend. So, if anyone has some good avice or knows of a good car for sale, I would welcome your comments.

 

Have a great day.

Hi thanks for you message. The only reason I thought about a UK car, is due to I believe a slightly higher spec. But I am open to views, not really sure what is the best option is for me. I suppose when I see a car that I like I will Know.

Welcome :) Where in West Sussex you from? Can come and view mine if you like, I'm thinking of selling, although it's a j-spec. Click link in my sig :)

 

Hi, I live in Crawley Down, ( Near Copthorne ). I really like the look of your car. How long have you had this? Did you do the majority of the upgrades? It certainly is the best colour I think. What sort of money are you looking for your car? Where are you based?

 

Look forward to hearing from you.

 

Trev.

Welcome. Any particular reason for chosing an auto? Most people tend to prefer the manuals

 

Hi, For the majority of my driving life, have always driven auto. Plus if the performance is as good as every one says it is, would prefer to have both hands on the steering wheel. LOL.

Think the only thing you get with UK cars is you have the large brake set up, headlamp wash (which i think is a usless bit of kit) and a bonnet vent..

 

I think that your insurance will be a tiny bit cheaper though..

 

Apart form that there the same

 

I would look out for

Large brakes set up

Recaro seats

If you want a facelift there a LATE 96 onwards, but if you get a preface lift you can always change the lights to facelift ones

 

When i bought my Supra they have a good guide to buying a Supra on here if you use the search button mate

 

Good luck

Do they? Mostly newbies who know nothing about Supra's, most realise that the auto is just as good (if not better)

 

I have always been very into my cars, when i wanted a Supra i did not know much about them aprat from they looked awsome and go bloody quick lol

 

I found all my info on here though

If you think the items listed are the only differences between a UK and J-Spec then it seems you still don't know much about them. Still at least it looks nice eh?

 

:rolleyes:

 

Tricky001 you have PM, my car is for sale.

Welcome, best of luck with your search for a car.

 

FWIW, I travelled the country for over a 1 year, looking at private and trade cars, UK spec and Imports, when I almost gave up, luck was on my side and I got a cracking car from a fellow member.

 

Also search the classifieds section, it may help you.
