newbie help: TOYOTA SUPRA 3.0 6 cylinder 2+2

Looking at getting a supra in the next month or so, or as soon as I can tbh, what does the 2+2 mean in this advert, is it somethign really simple im missing?

advert

Only have around 8K to play with, thats me hopeing to get an £800 trade in for my current car (lowest valuation to date, someone has put a nice big key mark up the side, its a vectra 2.5 V6 P reg) so looking at the non-turno price range I think. Anywhere else to look other than autotrader?

It just means 2 adults plus 2 hobbits with legs amputated.

It just means 2 adults plus 2 adults with legs amputated.

was thinking thats probably what it meant...but thought surely everyone buying a supra must know how many people it can carry....legs or not.

Hehe... you can realistically get 3 people in the supra... legroom is compromised tho, especially if you sit behind me, then as Rogue says amputees need only apply

that car looks like mine with different wheels!! (and mine's an auto)....

the 2+2 just means that you will find it very difficult to fit anyone larger than a five year old in the back seats mate. (if you're tall then no-one's sitting behind you).

it basically means that there's two rear seats there but very, very limited leg-room.

as for your £8k you could actually get a TT for that now i believe. have a search on here and look in the 'for sale' and traders sections, you may be pleasantly surprised!

damn you guys Bobbeh and Rogue.......just too quick for me (probably as you have turbos!!)

don't say that, itll encourage me to go for something way more powerfull than I could probably drive I really want a manual, which is making the search a little harder as most I find are autos.

Don't disregard the autos. The autobox on the supra is very good. Have you test driven any yet?

not yet, I know everyone tells me the autos are very good, but I enjoy my gear changes, Im in Scotland, coming down south at the beginning of october and hoping to go for a test drive in some then before I make a decision, still a young driver so the TT might be a bit daft at the moment, the Vectra V6 has 170BHP so whatver Ig ot o, its going to be a big jump up.

Yeah, but he managed to quote me on the "adults" rather than the much more humourous "hobbits" edit I made

My advice is test drive both a manual and an auto. I like my gear changes as well, but strangely I don't miss them at all.

Good luck with the search.

a decent auto tt from 7k+

a manual tt you may find one but a little more in your budget you should find one.

as for non turbo manual get a sz-r from around 6k to 8k there is a guy who i imported a full veilside sz-r in white look here

http://www.jm-imports.co.uk/sold/WhiteSZR.html

he wants around 9k but you never know his missus has had twins he may also take your vectra in too, car was a grade 4 at auctions in immac condition too.

if I go the route of the non-turbo SZ, what do I tell my insurance company it is, as they only have an F1, N/a, turbo, twin turbo, and twin turbo import on there computers (Im with elephant). They agreed a price for the twin turbo import, but couldnt find anything for the non turbo.

n/a

n/a

Be careful. You may just be geting a quote for the N/A MKiii

there N/A onlygoes upto the year 1992, trust elephant to have this screwd up.

I tried elephant and they only non-tubo import they haad was an FI...what the hells and FI!?!? An earlier model? I got a quote on it and it was good but didn't like the fact it was a grade i'd not even heard of so dont think i'll go with them to be on the safe side!?

FI is Mk111 it stands for Foriegn Import AFAIK

..in Scotland are you mate?

i'm up in Inverness and there are a few other scottish owners that come on here too. Am sure someone would quite gladly take you out in theirs?
