Supra-love Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 Been checking the forum very much lately after a long break away and I'm finally very close to be ready to buy. Only thing left to do is sell my current car, but before I do that I'm having a full health check with a specialist and get a years warranty put on their as it was rebuilt there and the option is open so hopefully won't be too long now. Preferably I would love to get a manual 6 speed TT. Or maybe a 5 speed, single but whatever I get has to be a daily reliable driver, With reasonable milage, preferably standard as possible, very good bodywork and interior, basically a solid supra. One I can use as a daily driver without mega bills repairing ect. Colour I would like to get is either white, quicksilver or gun metal grey. Import better but uk would be considered. Other things I'd like would be Year: Not a major priority Facelift: Would be nice but not fussed Mileage: Low as possible MOT remaining: Hopefully a year Service history: Full Car's location: Uk Modifications: Reliable ones Good bits: Everything Bad bits: Hopefully none PRICE.. Now I'm hoping to get 11k for mine so that's the range Please PM for anything else you may need to know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike33 Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 They was a nice white UK tt6 rare as rare matey that was in the classified section!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 It's 50% over his budget Not many 6 speed cars around these days, maybe worth sending some PMs to traders to see if they know anyone selling. I know Driftbear keeps toying with selling his. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rider Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 I think with around the £11k you should be in pretty good shape for a very good TT6 but as others mention it may take a while. If you are selling your own car then patience is important so if that's your only car you'll probably need to buy a run around as a stand in. As for Supras as every day cars when I purchased mine it was my only car so I was putting up to 12k miles a year on it so its never a worry even now they are much older beyond how much you'll give its value a hit. I now own 5 cars so the Supra is pretty much retired to sunny days only. If I was looking to sell my own TT6 with 17 years of service history (as long as I've owned it) I'd be looking to get between £8k and £10k dependent on how desperate I was to sell it and its a totally reliable good one so just sit back and wait. Not for mine though as I'm planning on keeping it until I'm off the mortal coil or it gets written off in an accident or stolen. I figure in 10 years time it'll be worth nearer £20k which is what I paid for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many thanks for your reply, it's nice to here they are so reliable and I've always heard they are great cars I scower the forum all the time and read and read so know quite a bit now but always learning! At the moment I think I have sourced a supra for myself from a good guy here on the forum and he's in no rush and being very good to me regarding selling my own car then funding.. Will update if anything changes but as it stands I think I've found the one! Won't jump the gun and tell as yet but all seems great and got some time to purchase this one so all good so far. Many thanks all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j_jza80 Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 There's a really nice TT aerotop for sale at the moment that the seller is desperate to sell. It's an auto, but for the amount he's considering taking for it, you could easily afford a 6 speed conversion and you'd still have plenty of change. http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?331321-In-a-dilemma-need-advice-!

j_jza80 Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 Maybe worth upping your budget a bit then and going for a fresh import, as there are generally a few white facelift tt6's for sale in Japan at any time The current state of the pound won't help mind.

j_jza80 Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 It's really hard to say now, given the currency issue and the ever rising prices of these in Japan, but I should think £16k- £18k should be enough, with a bit of luck As you can see looking back on this thread though, prices have shot up, and are only going to keep on rising.
