Scooter Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 the car has been discussed a few times already. Paint/body work a bit rough in places and the heater doesn't work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tooquicktostop Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 the car has been discussed a few times already. Paint/body work a bit rough in places and the heater doesn't work. No heater is something I have seen on many a trip to see cheap Supras, in this weather its either get a very very very cheap deal (I have done this in the past for this reason) or walk away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooter Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 I was all up for seeing it and either stripping it for the experience or part stripping it and having a cheap track day car....... ...........but like D8moa when i asked (when it was up for £2895) if it was at all negotiable i got 'the chat' saying no and it would be readvertised for more etc...... .... i think that first weekend and when the enthusiam was high i would have settled at £2,495.....now i think i just can't be arsed with it!!!

tooquicktostop Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 Something fishy maybe? Yes.................. no heater, so most likely a new matrix needed which unless you can do it yourself is a crappy job with a fair amout of labour charge, would need to be sub 2K for me to buy it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl_S Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 Hope you find the owner and if its right for you then buy it. My car looks very different to that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangerous brain Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 MMMM be very wary of driving that with a by-passed heater matrix. There is a very tenable link between by-passed heater matrix's and head gaskets blowing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont panic. From reading scooter's post it dont seem a bad buy to me, has the 6 speed box and uk brakes which he says are in good condition, good base for a tt swap i rekon. Only pita is the heater matrix but Jezz is talking about doing some good deals on new ones 500 quid fitted. Its rare to see old cars like this forsale in this price range that have no issues at all.

Scooter Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 It might be ok for the money..........i never got to look inside the engine or underneath to try and work out the extent of the old damage and how long ago it may have happened. If it was cosmetic ie Radiator, bumper, bonnet, slam panel headlights and a rear quarter scrape then yes whilst a bit or a mess and a visual 'shed' in some respects, its certainly not a wreck. Saying this it was definitely not a 'no expense spared' repair as it had no undertrays and active spoiler etc etc. It's tatty but depending on the extent of its previous damage it may well 'drive' better than some more expensive and lovely 'looking' ones. Anyhow a working 6 speed box/conversion and a set of good uk brakes will get you pretty much all your money back if you do discover anything major and want to get another instead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Furqan Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 i did drive the car and it ran fine the breaks are ok as well. the engine is very clean but i read on here someone says it is write off but i did full hpi checking and it says that car waes not a write off. it need some work like on body but running is fine and i do have money to fix on the car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Furqan Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 i think even if car is worth to scrap i can remov gearbox and breaks to put into another car, many people on here disprespect me but i dont understand why this is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marc_p Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 why nobody help me wehn i ask here? it like you want some people to lose out? WTF? Quite a few people tried to tell you about the bad points, if you lose out it's your own fault. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are trying to help. I advised you to not drive the car until you get the heater matrix done because there is a tenable link between by-passed heater matrix's and then head gaskets blowing ask Gav he'll show you the evidence he's put together on the topic. I had a car with a by-passed heater matrix and a recently replaced head gasket, the car lasted about 1000 miles and the gasket went again. It would be very silly to blow a head gasket for the lack of taking a bit of advice. It wasn't hugely expensive car considering the brakes and gearbox so you certainly haven't been robbed blind. Bit of TLC and getting the important stuff sorted out first and in good time will probably see you in a reasonable motor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Axle Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 Before you add the turbo engine, add UK brakes if you havent already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
