JohnA Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 Nice words, congratulations and smillies will get you only so far - I'll let others do that. From me you'll get a small dose of reality:eyebrows: : I'd never pay anywhere near 10K for a 10-year old supra with evidence of exceedingly bad filtration (is that a wire mesh filter?), no front leather, probably running higher boost as well (but I only see water and oil-temp gauges, no boost or AFR) Proof of mileage might be a tad elusive as well, ask for japanese documents and try to tie them with this chassis number. Take with you someone who knows supras well, who knows, he might save you a few grand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 I wouldn't go to D-C-Y and they're only about 50 miles away. Have a chat with Jurgen (JM Imports). You might not get to see the car beforehand but it's bound to be a cracker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pig Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 IMO i dont think its worth nearly that sort of money. Hold out and buy a memebrs car, you will get lots more for your money! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 Looks way too much money for an average Supra. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 Is it me or does the bodykit look a different colour of white? Also too much for that car mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pig Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 Yes... but they all are if you look closely. Colours can very rarely be matched. You should see my car, since working for a bodyshop it looks like a f'ing rainbow lol! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooter Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 just to give a comparison this car is up for £8500 ono Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedM Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 IF you are coming up this way, give Steve Single a shout. He has a gorgeous black Supra for sale at 10.5K and it's nice. I'd have it if I had the money. Look HERE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIALLRUSSELL_HO Posted June 23, 2006 Author Share Posted June 23, 2006 as in the plane? Its a honda integra! not getting very positive feed back.i will go look at it anyway but i think i have been put off by all the negative comments.thanks for your opinions,will let ye know how it goes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooter Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 its better to go in slightly negatively........... ............no one on here can say its a bad car per se, to say that they need to have done what you are going to do ie see and drive it. All people are saying is its not 'great' value for money, but if you want a 6 speed and to buy from a dealer you have very little choice out there and this car represents one of the better ones on paper from what i can see. have a good look round and think about it carefully, you can receive and take, or not take, all the advice in the world but its you and you alone that has to be happy with the purchase. good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soonto_HAS_soop Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 It's worth what you are willing to pay for it. If it drives straight, has some documents to support the auction then it isn't necessarily overpriced. It is after all a low mileage facelift 6 speed TT that has the non VVTi engine in it. It has full bodykit and some nice mods and wheels. Not a bad price for it in my opinion. If it's really good when close up then it could easily be worth that sort of money.

letmeshowyou Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 Just in case you didnt make this trip today and are still planning... I really wouldnt bother - I had a less than positive experience with Distinctive Cars Yorks... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminator Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 If they want 12.5K for that I want 17.5K for mine. Dont be taken in by the mods they may be old and need replacing, Big kits often hide a smaked car as it is cheaper to put on a fiberglas kit than buy stock parts.

lockys96 Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 love the look of it. again but id pay 10k tops for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazboy Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 If a facelifted car is worth 'only' 10k, then my 93 must be worth fuck all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIALLRUSSELL_HO Posted June 25, 2006 Author Share Posted June 25, 2006 Seen the car saturday.Its absolutely in immaculate condition.no scratches or dents.Recaro seats are as new Does need a good polish i must admit.Slight variation in side spats colour as said before but once car is polished up should be fine. The bonnet line is sitting slightly higher than the wing, hence why the bonnet line doesn't line up the best in the photo.Should be easy sort out.(anyone else have this problem?) Car is running at 1.16 of boost.Thats what came up on the boost controller anyway when i drove it.Drives good and straight.Clunky gearbox and clutch as i was expecting.Car is decatted and has an Apexi exhaust i think.sounds good.not too loud Chrome wheels have slight staining but can be refurbished.Possibley needs 2 new rear tyres in the near future. So the question is, did i buy it?-Yes i did,picking it up 8th july. Paid £12,500 for it and getting a clifford alarm worth £475 installed for £260. Overall im very pleased with the car and as its my first turbo car i have a lot to learn about the supra. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
