McGregory Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 Someone knows more about this Supra? The owner didn´t answered my emails and today i´ve tried to call him, but he does not go to the telephone. Its not my deot to be a Kraut I really want to see some engine bay pics, bevor bidding http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=290050303960&indexURL=1&photoDisplayType=2#ebayphotohosting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayman Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 Lol, have you asked whether he will deal with overseas buyers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJ Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 I have spoken to the seller a few times and he seems genuine enough. I have no idea about the car though although I have to say it does look very nice indeed. Bear in mind, that the price has not met the reserve yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayman Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 Yeh he says in one of his question the price will be over 8.5K. Under 10K for that would be a great car for the money! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McGregory Posted November 20, 2006 Author Share Posted November 20, 2006 Yes. I would buy and pick up that Sup for the 8500 bucks, if the engine bay looks ok AND THE GUY WOULD ANSWERE MY QUESTIONS But why he didn´t show some pics of the engine bay? Something is wrong with that car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree - providing it is not accident damaged write off, fecked engine, etc etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ivan Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 £8400 - "PS. Reserve has been met" He also gives sensible advice in not buying a car without viewing it first. Sounds genuine to me... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayman Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 Yeh looking at the questions its been viewed plenty! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJ Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 Yeh looking at the questions its been viewed plenty! But that's what worries me as none of those people bought it even though he said at the beginning he would stop the auction for a bid of £8500. I am also always wary of any auction whereby a bidder with no feedback storms in and then seems to stop once the figure of £8500 is met. Now, I am not saying that this is a bad car - if it is genuine then it is a bargain - but I would definitely have wanted to have a good view and a drive before I bid and bought.

Rayman Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 Absolutely, a lot of bidding for friends goes on for sure! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJ Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 I think the highest bidder is a member off here. I really hope they have done their homework on this one. As my old Dad used to say - if something seems too good to be true, it probably is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leonv Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 Hi, It seems i have just purchased Leons christmas present, I have contacted the seller so lets see if i hear back, will let you know if all goes well. Obviously i will not take the car if it is not up to the specifications on the advert. Hope Leon is happy though!! Leslie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leslie I hope it works out well for you but I really would have gone to view before bidding. I will send you a PM later to show you a site where you can look at things like VIN plate recognition i.e. to see if it is what it looks like or if it has had a transplant. I would also take along a mechanic and someone who can spot body repairs etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJ Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 Also, ask if he can send you a pic of the engine bay before you get there. I asked for this and it never came through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayman Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 If it all works out ok that is a bargain, you could easily make 1.5K on that if you wanted! It looks awesome from the pics, hope its as good as the listing says for you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would also take along a mechanic and someone who can spot body repairs etc. Thank you for the advise, I think i will have to tell Leon that i have bought it though because i will need to have him take a look at it. He has been in the car game long enough to recognise a DUD so i am sure he will have a good look before i hand over any money. As for the VIN information, if you dont mind forwarding that to me i would be most gratefull........ Your a sweety Leslie:d Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leonv Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 Just picked up the car, followed all CJ advise thank for that, appart from some TLC ie one mirror not folding in, few paint chips on the skirt, it looks to be a very good bargain. The only reason i feel that he did not show pictures of the engine bay would be because it was absolutly filthy, i dont think he has ever opened it since owning it. Will be a nice little project to get it mint again.......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mk47 Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 nice one give it a good clean and also check the oil or even just change the filter and oil etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
