The time has come.. Community help wanted

Hi everyone.

 

As some of you know ive been looking at buying a Supra for a while now, im currently serving in afghanistan and have been able to save a healthy deposit and by the time im home for R&R il be able to buy.

 

I need the communities help because i havnt quite got the internet time to do some final scouting about (afghanistan does that to ya) I was hoping you would all be able to help me look, spot the good ones and post them on this forum. Or if you are selling up yourself, tell me about it. traders welcome too (possible import job?)

 

heres the score...

 

I have about 10k to spend. i will have more but will only go more if the car warrents it. up to 5k deposit is available now.

 

I want something special!!! It needs to be in MINT condition with low miles, a twin turbo, manual 6 speed only!

 

when i say i want something special i mean something which has been highly tuned so that i only have to do a few things to make it my own. ie 500-600 hp (if possible) i would like the car to have a full body kit.

 

Everyones help would be very welcome, advice too! For the person who finds me the car i buy i will send a crate of beer of thier choice as a thank you.

 

All transactions can be made via internet banking.

 

MANY THANKS TO EVERYONE TO HELPS OUT ON THIS ONE. DAN

Hey Dan.

 

Keep your head down mate.

 

Personally I'd be looking at Jurgen here.

 

1997 Toyota Supra RZ

600PS T51R

1999 Toyota Supra RZ-S VVTI

6 Speed Manual

The rest on Jurgens site are either sold or deposit taken. Which shows his reputation.

 

Paul Whiffin has a couple.

 

500 bhp single 6 speed 1993

 

Brand new Whifbitz conversion T67 600 bhp 6 speed

 

Best of luck bud. :)

Hey there,

 

Not sure you will find what you are looking for with that budget - maybe a good example to use as a base though.

 

For example (and as already mentioned) Paul Whiffin has a single turbo for sale here which is some £4k over. Who knows though, maybe Jurgen can work some magic for you, but it'll take time.

 

Whatever happens, you should end up with a very decent car for that money - good luck :)

i like that white one Andy, id snap that up if i knew more about it. link didnt work, must be the operating system on my archos that im using. i do like that car tho, looks like it ticks a fair few boxes.

 

ive heard alot about jurgen, nothing but good things. im not too clued up on how it works, im afraid of putting a few k deposit into a deal and not getting a car i want.

Hey Dan good to hear your on the look out for the car now.

 

Hope you ok bud.

 

Jurgen will source and purchase what ever speck car you want depending on your budget mate. As Importers go he is second to none as he has a man in the field so to speak and can get eyes on the car in Japan.

 

Paul is another good trader and has a good reputation.

 

The exchange rate is in the toilet atm and will restrict what you can afford to import.

 

Hope this helps mate and as promised i'll keep my eyes open for you ;)

It's never happened yet mate, to my knowledge. Jurgen has built up a solid rep. over nearly 9 years.

He has built the business into the North East's premier specialist car import shop. He'll also undertake extra work for you too. Wheels, leather trim and numerous other services.

 

Good luck.

thank for all the info guys, its a great help. im not sure wot bpu stands for, i tried using the link to find out but 'computer says no'

 

if i cant buy the high power with my budget id settle for a mint body with full kit and basic mods and build from that but thats last resort.

 

im glad jurgen has seen this post, i will be contacting him. hopefully he will brush away my fears with a bit of explaining of how it all works.

 

p.s good to hear from you jon h, hows that beautiful blue of yours going?

We can definatly meet up when i get mine, as you know the roads round my way are nice. a big meet up round there could be good.

 

jazzy, id like to spend around 10k but as i said i would pay more if the car warrented it, would have to wait a bit for the cash to keep building tho
