Test Drive

Guys I'm going to test drive a car at the weekend hopefully, maybe with the intention of buying it but more to see how I like the auto gearbox and if I think I can live with it.

 

Is there anything I should be looking out for? It's from a dealership if it makes a difference.

 

It's 1993, L reg, automatic twin turbo, and priced at £4750 but nothing is declared to be wrong with it.

 

Cheers

It does seem genuine, and comes with warranty (even if it is a month or so)

 

It also claims to deal in jap cars so it makes me all the more curious as to why it's so cheap.

My supra is a 94 on a L plate, auto tt, also alloys had been refurbed about a week before I purchased it and it was advertised for 4.5k, but I gave him my wrx and 2k cash, and rough value of my wrx is 1.3k to 1.5k but I technically sold my wrx for 2.5k, some people don't no how to value cars

When you look at it look at the v5 for the date of reg, mine is a 94 reg'ed as a 93 L but was registered in dec 2004, I would think it a import, which some people say are more expensive to insure but I found mine cheaper to insure than a uk equivilent

Be carefull and see if you can get a local knowledgable owner to go with you, a dealer will rarely mention any faults a car has if ever !! ;)

 

Post some more info on here so we can help, buying the wrong TT can be an expensive painfull business.

has it got a bonnet scoop and washer jets on the bumper for the headlights? Classic things to show its a uk car

 

No bonnet scoop or washer jets so it appears it is an import

What other info would you like? Not much else I can gather but I can always email the dealer if there's anything people think I should be asking before I go to view it.
