bradleyh_15 Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 a stock spoiler costs nothing probably around £30! Have you looked at it? Is it auto or manual? Body kit or stock body? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Wilson Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 What's the book price on the BMW? I suspect it's worth more than the Supra....And be easier to sell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

k9l3 Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 only swap for a deal you can't say no u.n. why not look on piston heads and find a good supra and ask if interested in a straight swap . should beable to do swap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayl Posted July 30, 2011 Author Share Posted July 30, 2011 ok guys thanks ive been to see it and it is a rough supra shame as it is a tt aerotop which i would defo swap but it was in such poor condition. bumper did not fit, bonnet did not line up interior was bad and center console hanging off in bits, full of rust underneath boot needed respray car was very tatty all over even the engine looked like it had been left in the rain for about 8 years so if anyone else sees it for sale and has to travel take it from me dont bother lol its reg is j50 ree Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 I bought a supra from jm imports before and I was not impressed so I would not be doing that again I've not read about a bad Supra from Jurgen before. I'd go with what others have said and sell the M3 then buy a Supra. You're not limited to options then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jurgen-Jm-Imports Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 hi james, this is the car you bought in 2006 http://jm-imports.co.uk/cardetails/toyota/2006/supra1.html as far i was aware via your emails you were really happy with it, i know when you first got it we had issues with the ECU (was our first single car that we bought and maybe it was not wise from me to send it to Turbofit to have it mapped at my cost for you).. but after that we spoke and i assumed you liked the car. one of my customers bought it recently and sold it for 15500 on pistonheads. http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?212928-my-t88-supra i think the only thing that let it down in 2006 was maybe the cluttered engine bay but back then single turbo cars were 20k plus. anyway good luck with the hunt for new car and if we can help you know we will.

GINNO78 Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 I have come from an e46 M3......and the M3 is really hard to sell I had an immaculate low miler and it took 3 months just to get someone to look at it....when I did it sold straight away....at a rough guess your M3 is worth 8-9k so you should be looking to swap for a mint Supra....I gave 8k for mine and its mint with thousands spent on it....mine is about 360 bhp feels a lot quicker than the M3 and more fun to drive......also parts and servicing on the Supra are pennies compared to an M3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
