Pete Posted February 7, 2005 Share Posted February 7, 2005 It's missing a horn! This says to me that it's probably not been too well cared for. Missing history - because there isn't much to see I wonder? I'd get an RAC check on this one before buying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jurgen-Jm-Imports Posted February 7, 2005 Share Posted February 7, 2005 go have a look mate, if its accident damage then not worth it, if it aint, im very interested i will have a look on your behalf but first thing i would do is hpi check, if thats ok let me know and i will take a look for you :alien: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sizer Posted February 7, 2005 Share Posted February 7, 2005 Bonnet looks off colour to me and the inside doesnt exactly look clean.....from those pics i reckon it looks like a dog. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barney Posted February 7, 2005 Share Posted February 7, 2005 Could be a good buy...but without any service history it might be a money pit. I'd be wary, if the oil hasn't been changed regularly the turbo's alone could be on their last legs, let alone anything else. View with eyes wide open, not your heart. Nothing wrong with red btw.

JamesC Posted February 7, 2005 Share Posted February 7, 2005 As mentioned in the other thread if there's no history to back up the milage it could be anything, and there's not many UK's with a milage as low as that left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
penguin Posted February 7, 2005 Author Share Posted February 7, 2005 do ya think it would be good for parts etc??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zed Posted February 7, 2005 Share Posted February 7, 2005 the mileage isdefinitely on the low side for a uk car, and conveniently there's no history to back it up. Having said that, depending on what's wrong with it if anything,it could still be a good purchase. My guess is that it's done at least double that mileage because anyone with such a low mileage uk spec supra would not be so careless with the history, and even then, would surely have some invoices. If it's got 150,000 miles on it then it's probably about the right price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zed Posted February 7, 2005 Share Posted February 7, 2005 don't mean to go off topic, but, James, how come your car had horns but no bonnet vent ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
splurge Posted February 7, 2005 Share Posted February 7, 2005 I always try to stick to the principle "If it looks too good to be true, that's because it's not true". Works great for e-mail forwards as well I'm not saying this car is a dog, but without history it might be best to assume that it is until and unless it's proven otherwise. If you buy at a knockdown rate and it turns out to be a dog, you'll end up spending a fortune to get it up to normal, never mind the inconvenience while you spend two months without a car 'cos it's in the garage. You probably thought this already so sorry for going on... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesC Posted February 7, 2005 Share Posted February 7, 2005 don't mean to go off topic, but, James, how come your car had horns but no bonnet vent ? They were on when i bought the car. The car is a j-spec but the previous owner had them put in for some strange reason (not a good job either) so i had them removed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
