Hi,

I am looking at possibly buying a supra in the next week or 2 if one comes up that is right. I have a budget of only £8k - do you think this is going to be enough to get a decent example of a twin turbo? I will be using the car for a 20 mile daily commute so it would need to be pretty reliable. Sorry if you have heard this before, just wanting to hear your opinions on the reliability of a 10 year old supra on that budget.

My other options that I was looking at were a scooby, but dislike the helicopter noise from the zorst, or a celica 190.

 

cheers,

 

Mark

good to hear!

what do you find your insurance like? Ive got a quote for £1208 from admiral for 10 months, 22 1yr ncb on an import. Was very suprised and happy with that!

Yes, you should get a decent car for that.

 

But like Hadyn said, more likely an auto as the manual cars are rarer and a little more expensive.

 

Definately a buyers market at the moment, there's been loads of cars coming up for sale on here and they aren't selling particularly quickly so the prices are dropping. :)

That is a very good deal, but I am looking for a more complete car, with different alloys and interior changes maybe.. I can now spend up to £11k after moving some stuff around for the right car. Apart from on here, where else is a good place to be looking? I have big reservations about autotrader after ending up with hidden problem from my last 2 cars brought from there. One from an owners club member would be ideal as I know how most of you treat your cars

I would buy Penguins car and throw the rest of the money at alloys, bodykit and engine mods. There are some others about, I know Paul Whiffin gets a lot of nice Supras in with decent alloys etc.

I have thought about that, but at the moment I am hopeful of ifnding a nice example ready done.

Can I ask your opinion of the white uk spec on the whifbitz site? I have had powerful FWD cars before, but is 455 a bit much for a first supra owner? and modified like that, does the milage matter more than on a normal supra engine?

 

cheers
