Wyntersun Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 (edited) Hi all, Im on the look out for a fairly stock Supra. Ideally a Aero Top n/a or a TT. Auto or manual, not fussed. Liking the idea of an auto tho. My budget is £5000. I have seen a few nice ones over my budget that have been very tempting, but really would like to stick to it. Do I stick to my budget and wait for a stock one to come about or do i go all out and blow my budget and find a late spec TT. Im not new to the toyota world, previously owned a 1994 J-spec Celica GT4. Which I loved. Sold it and bought a very late spec 1998 SSIII beams VVti Celica. So do I do the same and buy a pre-face early spec 1993-1994 model and then wish I had gone for a late spec 1996,1997 face lift model. Thanks Matt Edited May 5, 2010 by Wyntersun (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooter Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 blow your budget a little (but you'll loose less on this car than most others) and get the recently listed aerotop tt on pistonheads, just a little drive up to Essex could be a bargain, wouldn't surprise me if it's already sold but if not well worth a look.......

Gaz6002 Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 You should speak to an importer like Jurgen on here if you want a stockish car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz6002 Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 Cheers, I will drop him a pm. Thanks No worries. He (JM Imports) supplied my car, and several of my friends. If I was importing another motor, I'd go straight to him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wyntersun Posted May 3, 2010 Author Share Posted May 3, 2010 (edited) Ok guys, im thinking of going to view 2 aero tops this week 1995 Aero top in blue http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201014356532861/sort/priceasc/usedcars/price-to/5000/model/supra/make/toyota/page/3/postcode/ct195ll/radius/200?logcode=p#dealerProfileSection I really like the colour too, I have asked for some more info on the Supe, like service history, body condition, etc, just waiting for a reply. Am I right in thinking that a 1995 Supra would have an airbag steering wheel, or would it be a non airbag one? As if I do decide to go for it, I wound want to swap over the steering wheel back to original. and a 1994 aerotop in black http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&Item=260596142368&Category=18290&_trkparms=algo%3DLVI%26its%3DI%26otn%3D2#ht_782wt_1167 Thanks Matt Edited May 3, 2010 by Wyntersun (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get the reg number if you can and ill dig out the hpi repor to confirm 100% Here you got mate N128 OGF but was previously on a personal plate of H16 NRG I emailed him this afternoon a couple of times asking about this history etc, to which he replied to my questions. Then! he rang me on my home phone tonight at 9pm asking about if I wanted to come and view it etc, sounds desperate to me, kept saying how mint the Supra is and it was his wife's car for 6 years etc and that I wont find a better on at this price. It came across as trying too hard to sell me the car, I asked him if it had been advertised before. He said yes, 4 to 5 weeks ago. I wont be viewing this car!

supracars Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 Yep that's the one. If you do go to see it, look out for 'fish eyes' over the tail gate and roof also drivers rear quater. Passenger wing drivers door had been freshly painted, not a bad job but colour was slightly off. Of course if the current vendor has given the car a full respray then it would be a nice car as it seems to have the right credentials on paper.

Wyntersun Posted May 4, 2010 Author Share Posted May 4, 2010 (edited) Sorry what do you mean by Fish eyes? In all honesty, should I keep clear of this one? Does look nice, but feel as if the seller may not be telling me everything. But you did say the paper work has come back ok? Does anyone from the club want to help me out and come and view it with me? Edited May 4, 2010 by Wyntersun (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
