Just want to say HI to everyone. Looking for a supra at the moment but decided to go for a non turbo model and keep my motorbike. Prices vary quite a Lot and have seen one with 60k miles but no service history at all. One problem is that it vibrates a lot just above tick over. Is this usual or not? Thought it could be just the exhaust.

Hi there

 

It shouldn't vibrate, my car with 132,000 miles doesn't, how do you know its done 60k if theres no history ? any more

info on this car ?

 

Have a look in the classifieds in here

 

There are plenty of NA's forsale so take your time finding a nice one thats been looked

after.

also has it got previous MOT certificates

 

If there is no history at all then the mileage on the clock isn't worth a squirt. Go for a car where at least you know where it has been and be reasonably sure that it hasn't been clocked. go off condition and take it for a thorough test drive. Make sure you hit motorway speeds aswell.

 

If the NA you looked at was a facelift then fooked engine mounts would be consistent with 60K miles. However, the lack of history would make me walk away.

I know the no service history isn't a good thing and also I remember a very faint gearbox or diff wine. Sounded like a straight cut gearbox sounds like. Don't know if they do wine or not. I would have stayed away from it but it had the splitter that came down and it reminded me of the film taxi lol. Think I will get over that and look for another.

 

Cheers for the info
