Fire148 Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 (edited) Ah i see.......its funny how different folks view things differently......a lot would put Jim's car a fair few £0,000's over this one i think.....not many value the 'newness' or low mileage so much (probably in part because 25k miles is nothing to a supra) I think he'll be ok VED wise as i think he's right in saying that due to the shift in import laws to be an 'X' reg over here it must have been registered here some time ago and almost certainly has no emissions data to allow the £400+ ved charged to some more recent 'late' cars (but it'll be worth checking!) I also think it's a potentially good deal, like i say based on my experiences this spec of car it will be massively reliable and other than the initial outlay will be, as supras go, very cheap to keep for many years. I think Jim's car is worth about £11k (private sale) currently, and this about £8250 (10k from a dealer) ... so am kinda in your direction there. I'm still not sure about the VED laws... seems to me that any car registered in this country after March 2001 (regardless of when it was manufactured) will get stung. So if its a 2001 car, but not registered until August 2008 its looking at £bignotes ?

UltraFlynn Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 Yep up for that, like i say i'll be quite interested to compare mine to it...........i'll pm you my mobile no. Nice one fella. I'll do the same. I'll let you know tomorrow whether I'm going to see it or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooter Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 Thats if it actually is an X-Reg car Flynn, re the above it may be worth calling them to confirm whether the chassis number starts with either 1004*** or 1005*** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UltraFlynn Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 I'll do that. Thanks. What would that signify? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UltraFlynn Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 I've decided not to go and see this car. The dealer didn't fill me with any confidence and there's are too many unknown factors about the car. Scooter: Many thanks for your offer of help though. Really appreciated.

Scooter Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 I'll do that. Thanks. What would that signify? its will signify a manufacturing date range...........if you can get the first 5 numbers eg 10049*** then this will narrow down the cars manufacture date to within one or two months of a particular year. Look up here.....very useful..... Scooter: Many thanks for your offer of help though. Really appreciated. no probs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooter Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 £8995 facelift aerotop just appeared on their site............. .........was/is on ebay for £4500 BIN from a private seller. Nice initial mark up if they get a taker.................makes me wonder if the 'X' plate car has a similar markup? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I offered the seller of the red Aero £4400 .. he sold to the dealer for £4500 .... am gutted to have missed it for £100. Its got to be worth £7k all day long. But £8995 sounds too high to me.
