adnanshah247 Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 do not let your excitement take over! you might be too happy and end up buying a bag of bolts and then your entire supra experience will be ruined. use your mind and buy a good one! good luck!

jamesmark Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 I am excited too. *looks down* do not let your excitement take over! you might be too happy and end up buying a bag of bolts and then your entire supra experience will be ruined. use your mind and buy a good one! good luck! I bought the first supra I seen as I was so excited too. and I did buy a lemon and lost several thousand pound. If you are in any doubt and I mean even the slightest doubt walk away, it can take months to find a good Supra. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest **Gareth** Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 Thanks for all the comments. No certainley not from KIEGHLY its from a friend of a friend. He's owned the car for a couple of years now and assures me its all ok. I do work in the motor trade in a volkswagen dealership so ive got an idea what to look for in general but didnt know if there was anything specific.?? Another major concern of mine was the mileage its currently got 120k on. i cuurently drive a passat diesel which has 145k on and still drives like new but ive had no experience what so ever with this type of car/engine before. Just to note its a L reg 3.0n/a if this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a problem. you can go to Toyota here in the UK and use our marvellous traders right here on the forum I've had my J-spec TT for 9 years and never ever had a problem getting bits for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
