wanna supra Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 It has to be the worst attempt of a copy I have ever seen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toyotasuprauk Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 Newer doesn't mean better though does it Unless you're talking serious ££ No it doesnt, that why all the time my Supra stays reliable I'm going to keep it. For the silly money they go for now there is nothing in the same price bracket that comes close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dangerous brain Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 Woah woah and thrice woah!!!! Not wishing to besmirch their name but I haven't heard a single good word heard said about any car at that place. As they have a vast stock I would use them for test driving various models to see which 1 you want but as far as buying one Hmmmmm...

captainchaos Posted December 7, 2005 Author Share Posted December 7, 2005 The guys at vine place have said the exact same things to be about them, must be the general area down the went to look at one at MAW motors nice engine bay but the car itself is fough as a badgers arse!!!!! I know they are over priced but most likely gonna get one from vine place. Really nice car and the people i have spoke to have only had good things to say about them and my mates who have worked there say the same.

CJ Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 I dont wish to piss on your chips but you must have money to burn if you are happy to pay way over the odds because they are nice people! Have you thought about buying off a member here? Or are you that keen due to them offering a p/ex? If p/ex is really important, why not find out what they are offering and then see if you can sell for the same money privately? At least then you open up all the other avenues for buying rather than rushing in and paying far too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aerotop Dave Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 This is just about the only photo I have at the moment - I really need to give it a wash and take some more, particularly of the interior. For GZ, RZ, etc, info, check out the FAQ section. More info on the car: [email protected] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeordieSteve Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 I went the same way wanting the warrenty but I honestly wouldn't let it bother you. They're VERY strong cars. You talking an extra 3k for the car and £600 for a years service... £3600 for 1 years warrenty? No taa.

raymanuk Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 it aint coz of the nice people its the after sale service warranty bit peace of mind it is quite an old car! It is but then again its not like buying a ten year old Ford or Vauxhaull. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toyotasuprauk Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 Basically if you buy for them at that price you are potentially paying for every possible thing that might go wrong in advance with the over inflated asking price. What are they offering for the civic it must be worth good money? If you tried to sell that Supra privately in a months time people would laugh at you for asking that sort of money.

stevie_b Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 Basically if you buy for them at that price you are potentially paying for every possible thing that might go wrong in advance with the over inflated asking price. What are they offering for the civic it must be worth good money? I know a chap who bought a Range Rover from a garage. About 2 months afterwards, the engine blew up, and he managed to get the garage to source and fit a replacement lump at no cost to him due to the warranty. He must have had a crystal ball or something..... ... but these situations are rare. Realistically, what do you expect to use the warrenty for? If it's minor things like a broken aerial or broken speed converter, these would be less £££ to get fixed yourself or at a garage of your choice than the cost of the warranty (via over-inflated price). Unless you reckon the engine or turbos are going to blow up soon, it's probably not worth the warranty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJ Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 My friend is a garage owner and tells me that if the warranty is supplied by an outside source then it is next to useless. they will try all the tricks they can not to pay citing service levels not being met, over boosting, fair wear and tear etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu_Fraser Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 Dude, I would listen to what everyone is saying. Id sell your Type R privately and then buy a Sup from Jurgen or another member on here, you would then have loads of spare cash for mods. I bought my Supra from Vineplace, I admit the car was in fantastic condition as anyone on this forum who has seen it would agree but i probably paid over the odds for it. If i had of seen this forum before i bought mine i would have bought a members car or would have gone through Jurgen. For 12k you could easily get a later spec facelift car. As for the warranty i really wouldnt worry about it, as long as these cars are looked after they will keep on going and going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dangerous brain Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 Well my supe is in no rush to go anywhere and is a fairly well modified example, do ya a swap chap http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=51234 Thats the car. It still has the performance cams and brakes on it so would be worth the £12k you want for yours. Aftermarket warranties can be purchased privately from the likes of warranty holdings and are basically the same as the one you would get from a garage like Vine place. Any more sales vultures around?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
