I am getting the feeling yeah >. Ideally I'd get budz86's supra, look beautiful... But its in Sussex. Thats probably my main issue, I don't have any way of travelling to view and purchase a car. Anyone know of any Yorkshire based manuals up for sale at the moment! Heh...

I think I might have made it sound more dire than it actually is, I had a full AA inspection done and the engineer said it would still pass an MOT (also MOT was about a month ago I believe) You see the problem is with my car being gone and needing a new one in such short notice I'm really stuck =( massive dilemma now! This coupled with the fact that I can't really get any further away than Yorkshire to buy a car and they seem to be few and far between over here. Sorry if it sounds like I'm not taking your advice, it's all on board and I'll be considering it thoroughly throughout the day whilst doing as last minute search for another one! P.S. The plank on the back can be replaced with the stock spoiler, it's bundled with the car (as are the original wheels/tyres and new front bumper) which will probably be a summer project.

EDIT: Or I could stop being a lazy git and post the pics myself.

It's a NA manual - I can't be dealing with an auto! I've been checking the classifieds for a few weeks hoping something would turn up, but my Lag II was written off (other party's fault) and I need a car by Saturday (insurance is only paying for the courtesy car until then)

Rather excited, I'm picking up my first supra tomorrow! It's a NA '95 manual in red. Before I hand over the cash though, I'd like some informed opinions... It's got some things wrong with it but I feel it's a fair deal for the price (£3000) Speedo doesn't work (read 40 when going at least 80) Coolant needs to be flushed and replaced Front and rear shockers need replacing Rear susp. bushes need to be replaced There's some play in the rear wheel bearings Centre console storage unit won't open Cat heat shield shows signs of wear The bodywork isn't immaculate, but at the same time at first glance is passable. Interior is good to average for a car of it's age and being realistic I'm not too fussed about the cosmetic issues. The guy selling it is a nice bloke and offered advice if ever it's needed... So am I being swept away by my love of this car (nay, even the supra in general!) or is this fair?

Budget isn't all that high, but I can foresee down the line when i'm earning big bucks i'll probably have more to splash out. I don't think I can feasibly go over £4500, as i'm only 24 so insurance might be a bit insane with a higher-end model! I had the pleasure of driving a 98 MR2 a few weeks back which is what really made me decide that i'm going to take the plunge and finally get a Supra! It's pretty much all for the look anyway, it's the most beautiful car i've ever seen and after spending hours checking out all the cars on this forum I can't NOT get one now!

Yeah I found the buyers guide very helpful! Looking for a manual, but not really fussed what else I get with it. Don't really get along with autos... Best thing about driving is changing gear for me.

Hey all, So i'm new, from Leeds and looking to get a Supra. Loved them for a long time but needed a practical car until now (Lag II)
