hey all, not really a poster on here, more of a sit in the back ground and look at the pretty pictures etc.
ever since i seen a supra when i was young ive always said i will own one some day, im now 21, soon to be 22 and currently driving about in a 2003 civic type r. Theres just some stuff i would like to find out from yourselfs, the people who own and drive supras before i was to suddenly jump in and buy one.
basically i live away from home, in a half decent paid job, not crap but not excellent, but oviously i have rent, bills, and other outgoings, i can manage the civic no problem, im just trying to determine if there will be a massive jump from owning the civic to a supra TT and if i can really afford it. im just after info on the sort of things you would think about yourselfs before buying a new car....
- running costs?, i have a work van i use to and from work so only time the car gets used is on evenings and weekends, the petrol in the civic isnt that bad as long as i dont hoof it about. i would like a TT, i cant imagine the petrol being too bad either as long as i drive with some control and dont put my foot down?
- i know you get excellent supras and some rough ones but in general what are they like to maintain? i dont have a single clue about car mechanics, so if something went wrong it would be going straight into the garage. like do things offten go wrong and are parts silly prices etc, obviously the more you look after a car the less chance of it going wrong.
-what sort of prices am i looking at for servicing, tax on say a TT?
ive had a quick play with the search but dont have time to sit here all night looking about, so if any of you nice people fancie tellin me about your general experiences about a TT supra, good or bad it would be mucho appreciated.
alllso i know the chances of picking up a decent UK 6sp TT for around £7000 - £9000 are pretty slim but what about a decent spec (doesnt have to be totaly standard just not ott) 6sp TT import?
cheers in advance for any advice guys and gals
