ilicos Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 Best place would be classified ads on here or Jurgen from JM Imports who is also a member and authorised trader on here. Good luck with the search. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJ Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 I would ask again in the summer when you are ready to buy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tricky-Ricky Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 (edited) You can't really do better than buy a members car from here http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/forumdisplay.php?f=38 They are the best looked after and spoilt rotten Supras Edited January 10, 2010 by Tricky-Ricky (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSK Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 (edited) ok guys weres the best place to buy a supra from? i have bought my current car from japperformanceuk in bradford. I went there as I was having trouble finding a car, they had a nice looking J-spec car come in. Spoke well initially on the phone, when I drove up there, they refused a test drive unless I paid a deposit to buy (despite offering this on the phone - how can you put down a desposit without negotiating a deal first etc), harsh attitude and the car was crap, scuffs all over the place, over priced considering all the work that needed doing + UK conversions, dangerously low engine & auto box oil levels etc. In the end I kept looking on here and eventually after 1 year got a members car.

Harris25 Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 i looked for 18months. then bought a member car. always trust the forum! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooter Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 IMO the best value for money cars will be non members but long term ownership cars.............theses sales are few and far between and the traders often get hold of them very quickly if they are cheap, but there will be opportunities if you are on the ball. After that I'd look at members cars here and if you want a fresh import/specific spec then I'd look to Jurgen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marbleapple Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 always trust the forum! Don't be silly. Never trust anyone when it comes to cars. There is a dispute section on this forum for a reason. My advice to the OP would be to advise companies in Bradford. been there, seen them, driven away fast. Keighley is also another place to avoid.

Abz Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 Members car any day of the week! I brought mine from a non member and got it for a very good price too, but only because it need general maintaince work to it. Because I like to get things done properly I spent close to £2k soon after I got it on service, brakes etc. Car is running beautifully but I might have been lucky I had an honest seller. Next car I will buy is a forum members, they might work out slightly more expensive (not always the case) but at least you know it has been cherished more. Considering they have been with the club for a while & not 2 days . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scotty71 Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 Best bet for buying a Supra 1. off the classifieds here 2. Contact Jurgen at JM Imports 3. private off Pistonheads. And thats about it in my opinion, try get lots of history too. I sourced mine off here last month in the classifieds Scotty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 Cheap, buy at an auction, that's where the trade buy. Expensive, but probably with a warranty and possibility of a part exchange, one of the dealers here. Mid way, buy privately out of one of the car mags. Depends how knowledgeable you are, if you have a wad of the folding stuff, what you expaect, blah blah. You need to give more info on your purchasing situation.

Guest stevie Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 thanks for the info guys, im just trying to find out best place to buy and how much roughly id be looking at for a supra tt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TopgunTT Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 Alot will depend on your budget and what your looking for mate. Do you want stock looking or with a kit on? Do you want bpu or standard untouched engine? I would say the forum first, If you go through members threads you can normally see what the car has been through, Goodluck in your search anyway mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest stevie Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 another thing i was considering was buying a non turbo and fitting a single turbo kit? how much would it roughly cost to buy a single turbo kit and what would be involved in doin this? would this work out more costly than buying a twin turbo? im new to the turbo seen so im tryin to get my head around it all so i know which road to go down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martini Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 Typically single turbos are fitted to the TT models, but it has been done with NAs. The price to "go single" is usually quoted at £10k to do it properly. Therefore, buying a TT in the first place will probably be cheaper. As you're new to the turbo scene, I would recommend having a good read and search around the forum, as most things have been discussed.
