Homer Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 In short it could mean a few things: 1) 97 import with the entire exterior converted to UK spec (I would question why? - accident?) 2) UK Spec wrongly registered, with interior replaced 3) It's been ringed/nicked at some point in it life Get a pic of the VIN plate and /or note down ALL details from it, this can be decoded on here to tell you exactly what it is (assuming it's not option 3 above) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CJ Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 This is a bit of a strange one. The car started out as a red model and then had a colour change. It had a recorded mileage of 105,000 in 2002 so the latest mileage figure doesn't stack up. It has also had 7 previous owners. It is not showing as accident recorded or stolen and says manufactured in 1997 and not an import - but that also could be a mistake as the DVLA have been known to make mistakes. I personally would not go for this as there are too many ambiguities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CJ has the background as always, good of you to post up Col If Gary still wants to go and check it out at the weekend the paint problem should show up right away (pull some trim Gary ), plus the VIN details will clearly show the paint code, year of manufacture, spec, etc. Gary, if you want to do a VIN check while you're there give me a call.

lust2luv Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 So it's a red j-spec that had damage to front and rear of car (hit up the rear in queue and impacted car in front?) and was repaired with UK parts and resprayed black at the same time? Hence the lowish price. Odometer states km, but is probably clocking up miles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lust2luv Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 Was wondering that myself. Doubt they'd bother connecting them up if it is a repair job. Worth testing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest benny boy Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 i've just spoken to the chap, and arranged to go and see it on friday. he hasn't had the car for long and doesn't know anything about its history. the only service history is at 100km (29/11/2001) with service and cambelt change. chassis number is: jza 8000 78 929 engine number is: 1jz 4532 the V5 just names it as a Toyota Supra. can anything be identifed from this?

CJ Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 ...can anything be identifed from this? Not really but from many of the previous posts, I can identify that it is a car I would not touch with the proverbial bargepole! But hey, it's cheap and a bargain eh?
