bridlea Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 Just trying to find out all the info about buying an imported car. Will a Haynes manual be any good to use when carrying out jobs on the car or will i have to buy a different manual? How easy is it to find out about the history about the car? Any other tips for buying one would be most appreciated, thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Bainesy36 Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 Hi there and welcome. I'm in the same position as you and I am in contact with CJ off the forum about importing a supra. CJ is a top bloke and will guide you through the process of importing from Japan. Send him a PM and he will help you out! Good luck, Nige.

Start with reading the FAQ section here and learn as much as you can before buying. http://mkivsupra.net/vbb/forumdisplay.php?f=60 Any subjects you want to find info about, try using the search feature on the forum, you'll probably find loads of threads on all aspects of the Supra. Anything else you can't find then ask away. The best thing to do, would be to see if there is a knowledgeable member local to the car you are viewing, that can accompany you and give it the once over.

Conrad Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 As already said mate pretty much everything you need to know has been covered before, just check out the search button. Essentially there's not a huge amount of difference between Jspec and UK. Aside from different tubbies, brakes and injectors the car is more or less the same. You'll find that pretty much all the Sup's you're looking at are imports. All N/A's are imports too in case you didn't already know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hadyn Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 Cheers guys, just dont want to spend a load of coin and get a heap of crap in return Doesnt happen much with a supra, even the most unmaintained examples seem to run fairly well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 Cheers guys, just dont want to spend a load of coin and get a heap of crap in return There are few traders on here with good reputations for supplying quality cars to forum members, it would be worth contacting them to see if they can help get you what you want.
