jcbt Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Welcome to the club - everyone now on the lookout for a supra seems to want a black manual lol:) - if you pay your £10 membership then you will have access to loads more info and the classifieds. What to look out for when buying a supra is always a good read for prospective owners Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j_jza80 Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 If you have £9k+, it shouldn't take you long to find one. When you become a member, put a wanted up, with your budget, and watch the cars appear in front of your eyes If you want a UK spec, you're in for a long wait.

Grasmt Posted April 30, 2013 Author Share Posted April 30, 2013 I was looking at the jap spec tbh mate, just had a look through the forum and the uk spec does look better in terms of engine and breaking etc but in the future i plan to build it up to be a road legal track car, much like ive done with previous motors, but it is early days yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grasmt Posted April 30, 2013 Author Share Posted April 30, 2013 Thats the membership payed, another step closer to being an owner! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With your budget, you should be able to get a fresh import, in which case have a word with Jurgen (JM Imports) on here, he's the clubs resident importer, and gets the best cars. http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?53679-Jm-Imports You may have to wait a little longer for a fresh import, but the bonus is you'll get a much cleaner car/rust free car than you'd normally find over here. Be VERY careful with regard to dealers, there are many which we generally avoid (and we're not allowed to openly discuss due to threats of legal action). PM me if you would like details Welcome BTW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grasmt Posted May 1, 2013 Author Share Posted May 1, 2013 Drift_bear- where you from then? Aye min al be keen for the meets!, depends with work etc but ill deffinatly look into it! Be fine to get an idea of what im letting myself in for J_jza80 - ive recently just emailed them! With work being as crazy busy as it is at the moment im more than happy to wait for a decent exple to turn up, but as it is to me whatever supra i eventually buy is going to an investment, rather have a fresh one than a rot box!
