Guest mathias_h Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 Hi again, Posted some questions about a Jap-spec supra a few weeks ago. Decided to wait a while and see what other options came along. Now I have Found another Supra, a 95 UK-spec TT that was imported to sweden in ´04. The praice tag is about 10 000 GBP (145 000 sek) which is fairly cheap in Sweden for the supras I have seen for sale. What worries me is that the car has run about 10 0000- 11 0000 miles (17 5000 km). What is your opinion on that? Is it fairly ok, or will I be much better of bying a Jap-spec 65000 miles? I realy don't want to have a car that brakes down on me and drain all my money on repairs and spairpart. I have realy no experience in how these cars handle the milage. My intention is not to have a street racer and replace every single part with aftermarket stuff, just want to have a nice car for normal use. I know there is another thread on this forum with the same topic, but no one managed to stick to the milage question, so I'll try in my own post. So please, focus on the milage question here. If Mods or Admin disagree, move this to the other thread or delete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R Black Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 Do you not mean 100,000 & 110,000 miles as 10,000 ain't even run in yet??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R Black Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 Lowest mileage is the best if the cars been looked after, i think you can guarantee a jspec if it comes with a BIMTA sheet, the UK spec however you need loads of paperwork i.e reciepts mot's tax discs to give you an idea. Anyways 100,000 is fine if well looked after, my old Audi S2 was on 150k and no rebuilds, still running fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mathias_h Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 Anyone who like to share theire knowledge on supras with some milage. How far have your cars run? Any special problems that have turned up? What usaly happens to the cars when they pass 100 000 miles? Best regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 The usual stuff starts to wear out, but I think now much of it is age related rather than mileage. The way the car has been serviced and looked after is far more important than the mileage. Chris Wilson reportedly services one that has over 300k on it.

merckx Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 £2500 more and you could but this one, definately worth paying a little more to get an unmolested really nice car. http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=124303 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
