? if its 96/97 that price wudnt be bad

its a 95 and hang on will sort out some pics

why an na though money would be beter spent on a tt

basically i would like a car i can more or less just get in and drive, not like the mk3 where they are just an endless bloody money pit, i know mk4s are not cheap to run but im hoping they are alot more reliable, and i thought an NA would make more sense as an every day town driver and i dont have a huge budget

It's very pretty, but £7k is a bit steep for a '95 NA, I would have thought £5k is more reasonable?

Do a search on Auto Trader, they have lots of 95/96 models listed around £5k

try talking to pengiun on this site and see if his is still for sale that is the cheapest tt i have seen for a long time and they are so much better than na's

OI !! some people prefer n/a's

thanks for that just sent him a pm and he is in bucks aswell

I just got my TT for less than £8K, seems steep to me.

yeah but urs is in bits!

Seems a little steep, personally I'd only pay more than average if it was an aero, although I appreciate they aren't everyones cup of tea!

Upside though, it isn't silver, there seem to be loads of them kicking around.

NA's aren't really that cost effective after the initial purchase, I spend about the same on my NA as Keith (hubby) does on his TT just in general running costs and his insurance is cheaper (its a UK)

I find the comment that TTs are better than NA's a little bit ignorant, they suit different driving would be better comment. TT's are great for flat out power, but my NA will annihilate Keiths TT on a country road and having driven my brothers TT auto I'm convinced that my auto gear box is more responsive and suits my driving style a lot better. Its all down to personal taste, but if outright speed is your thing, then the TT it should be, if its throwing a car around and having a damn good laugh then I'd pick the NA any day.

one of the biggest reasons i was looking at a NA is the fact that tt cost a hell of a lot more when they go wrong and have usually had been thrashed about alot more. im more interested in the look of the car eg i like the fact that they turn heads and its always nice to destroy these snot nosed little chavs in the hot hatch which any soop can do including my old mk3's.

i ahve a 94 n/a aerotop with body kit wheels etc and i paid 8k so now it must be worth 5k ........

also there is a n/a forsale at 3750 at the mo talk to... bazrazmaza or summit like dat in forsale section

yeah but urs is in bits!

urm, my cars fine, unless you done someting to it when ive not been looking!

So some one sells an supra cheap and every one moans that the price of supras in going down the pan, some one try to sell one slightly over market value and every one moans its far too much

As for the car you can get a very good N/A hardtop for around 5k these days so considering the recent respray and all the extras thats easily worth 6k

was about to say something along these lines. common, too cheap, too steep, so what point is it just the right price?

anyway, that price seem very reasonable to me, considering what it has, Manual, full body kit, aftermarket exhaust and alloys.

colour is personal preference, just because if its red or black does not make it anymore cheaper or expensive.

yes you could probably get a TT, but lets see... Probably have NO body kit, standard alloys (nothing wrong with that though), WILL BE AUTO (not that auto is bad, but manual is definatly more demanding and higher value im sure you all agree), but probably will have non standard exhaust.

this is what divides the point of a cheaper TT to a higher priced N/A. IMO.

Its all a matter of opinion but I think £7 for a NA is much to much.

In Hong Kong, 95 NA Supra only worth for £3,000 or less. Maybe I should set up a company for exporting import cars to overseas (very good profit)

i must admit i would like a turbo but the major things i looking for is low milage,nice bodykit if possible,good service history and if i can the a targa roof as my current mk3 has one and its great in the summer but due to my budget its not a must. im just after a car thats been looked after.

... its done 40.000km full service history its got new 18" alloys and tyres (brand new) new coil over suspension all round, stainless exhaust system was imported 2 yrs ago and its imaculate, had full resray as the bonnet and drivers side front wing had started to fade, its had full HPI check AA inspection and full service including new brakes and disks....

paintjobs, disks etc, have you got any hard evidence that the 40K km (i.e.

Just wondering....

dont know i presume as it has all service history i should be able to find out from that?

the n/a should be 6.5k in my view,

its just the market is pants
