Guest b15njy Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Hello there! My names Benji, from Hastings, South East. I turn 25 years old at the end of the month so FINALLY i can realistically afford to buy a Supra TT. ive come from a back ground off a fair share of Impreza's, and Pulsar Gtir. Ive always fancyed a supra so now the times here, My Scoob sold couple of weeks ago so the Search for a Supra TT is on! [GRIN][/GRIN] I'm going to have to op for the auto model TT due to funds permitting me owning a TT6 but never know i may come across a 6spd and get that fitted. Any way Hello is the main thing at the mo! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abz Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Welcome to the club. Don't discount the auto TT, I had one & preferred it over my current 6Speed. The gearbox is supercar like, but silky smooth, oh and it's faster too! What sort of budget do you have? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest b15njy Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 £5000 max at the moment. unless my new year bonus is any decent amount. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ripped_fear Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Welcome to the club, 5k you should find a TT auto but manual is going to be difficult to find a nice one unless you can nearly double your budget. as said above the auto is supposed to be very good so you should be pleased if that is the route you decide to go down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamesy Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 welcome - the Auto in the TT's is brutal mate you will love it! for £5k you'll get a decent example Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TubbyTwo Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 I have been in a BPU auto and remember the kickdown being rather savage lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnny g Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 I'd take the £5k and look at some cars on here. If you don't find one straight away, wait. Don't jump in and buy a wrong car. If it takes longer than you hope, you can add to your budget in the meant time. Don't discount the auto, though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest b15njy Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Ive seen the price of the Manual and have decided to get an auto already, have been searching for a couple of weeks but will wait to find the correct one. I think I really need to drive the Auto version to see what i think off it. Originally the plan is to buy a clean Auto TT and if i didn't get on with it have it converted to a 6spd, but i may surprise myself and like the Auto. time will tell i guess. heres a couple of my imprezas and pulsar's AND HOW IT STARTED OUT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TubbyTwo Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Loving the side exit exhaust on the Pulsar lol Brutal! Drive an auto mate, I think you will be surprised. Im looking to get a supra in the next few months and had originally set my sights on a 6spd, however having drive a stock auto TT and a BPU auto TT I was very surprised. Kickdown on a BPU supra just rockets you forwards. Reality is for a nice auto TT your looking anything form 5k plus. Im looking to spend £6.5 to £7k on mine, but for a decent tt 6spd your looking another few £K on top unless you are very very quick, and lucky!

slugger1 Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 When I bought my first Supra about 9 years ago I was looking for a manual but they were silly money so I went for an auto instead. Very pleased with it so much so that I bought another auto! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marcus GTE Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 I'd take the £5k and look at some cars on here. If you don't find one straight away, wait. Don't jump in and buy a wrong car. If it takes longer than you hope, you can add to your budget in the meant time. Don't discount the auto, though! Good advice. I spent a few years looking and am so glad I took my time as it really paid off. It's worth the wait to get it right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TubbyTwo Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Agreed. Keep saving and go for a properly mint one. Not feeling the one in the link above, just seems too cheap to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest b15njy Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 the guy is very mature owner (72yr old) and said the car is totally immaculate. and was unsure on its value so looked at the net and came up with that. im still going to view it as could be a Gem. its those horrid advan's that let it down. but time will tell i guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
