Hi all,

 

Recently I have discovered it is finally possible for me to own a supra...yay! :D

I'm from the Midlands and I am after a UK spec manual twin turbo supra....cheaper to insure than an import haha

I haven's really come across one yet in that spec so I was wondering if you guys could help? :)

Ideally I want one close to stock spec as possible but a few tasty mods wont scare me away :)

The lower the mileage the better but I know these engines are bulletproof so a maintained high miler wont be an issue.

Budget is around 10k which I hope is fair.

 

But yeah hoping you guys can point me in the right direction

 

Thanks and looking forward to being an active member as this place seems pretty cool!

Welcome to the forum, once you've paid your 10 quid membership you can have a browse of our classifieds but as above I think you will struggle big time with that budget for a uk spec. jspec would be more achievable unless you are in no hurry and willing to wait a while but if one does turn up it won't last long.

 

As for a budget think upwards of 15k for a good example.

So an import will be more achievable with a budget of 10k?

Does anyone know any import insurance specialists I can use as most of the quotes I've been getting for imports are ridiculous so far :(

Either way it has to be manual and turbo for me as they are a must and also I do not mind waiting for the right car to come up :)

 

Cheers Tyson!

Unfortunately yes if you buy for less it could cost you more in the long run in repairs. I bought mine when I was 21 for insurance reasons and it hasn't cost me anymore in the long run due to savings I've made in premiums.

Cheers boys, I dont mind an import if I can get the insurance side of things sorted out :)

 

I think I've seen that red kne Graham....auto just isnt for me haha but thanks though :)

 

Thanks for the welcome Shawn :)

 

So looking at this it seems it will be easier to get hold of a twin turbo manual import?

Yes, but there aren't that many 6 speed imports around either. Don't discount the auto/tiptronic models until you've tried them, they are very good cars in their own right, and much cheaper.

An auto TT is ok and will definitely be better than you imagine an auto being. Also if you find a nice one it will hold it's value should you really not get on with it.

 

There are so few Supra's for sale at any one time it makes sense to just check them all out and if a nice £4-6K auto tt comes up local'ish then at least consider looking at it.

 

If your heart is set on the manual then ignore this, but the advice stands on taking your time to find a good one

Allows you to select the gears manually, "L" is 1st gear, "2" is 2nd gear, and "D" is 3rd/Drive. Click on the manual mode which is highlighted blue and it will give you more information about it.

 

It's nice to see you're more mature than me. I wouldn't not be able to help myself giving out the light/night/drift gear options :D
