chooch Member 256 Member For: 20y 11m 18d Location: Adelaide Posted 25/09/06 10:56 AM Share Posted 25/09/06 10:56 AM Hey team, I friend at work has a friend who owns a 1998 Supra, 6 speed, Twin Turbo, 20,000km, unmodified. He loves my car (2004 stock standard T) and wants to do a straight swap.I have been in his car, it's immaculate and goes a lot quicker than mine (or maybe it just feels like it cos it's so low to the ground).What are people's thoughts?Does anyone know much about Supra's?I know it will be more expensive to maintain, repair and insurance.

ZAP No boost, no bottle, just my foot on the throttle! Lifetime Members 7,935 Member For: 20y 11m 8d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 25/09/06 11:07 AM Share Posted 25/09/06 11:07 AM They are valued about the same (mid $30's) and would be a fair swap $ wise.I love the performance and handling, but they are hard to sell, easy to steal and a pain to insure. They have heaps of performance potential, but the interior looks like a XB falcon.Can you live with a 2 dr sports car ?If so then go for it.

Had a mate with one and he got rid of it and bought a Jag cause his better half couldnt control it in the wet. Other than that, they would be my pick of Jap cars.

chooch Member 256 Member For: 20y 11m 18d Location: Adelaide Posted 25/09/06 11:14 AM Author Share Posted 25/09/06 11:14 AM I'm not married and have no kids (and don't plan to in the next few years)so a 2 door car would be ok.I have heard they are hard to sell. I mean a 1998 car selling for mid 30k's is a lot of money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FPVPSI Member 503 Member For: 21y 11m 6d Gender: Male Location: Victoria Posted 25/09/06 11:20 AM Share Posted 25/09/06 11:20 AM well if you work together ask him for a temp swap, maybe for like a day or two. Then you can really see what the car is like to live with, park, the way it brakes, handles etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twisted Member 28 Member For: 19y 8m 7d Location: Melbourne's Western Burbs Posted 26/09/06 02:18 AM Share Posted 26/09/06 02:18 AM Get insurance quotes as well before you even consider it, I think you'll find it will be a big difference in premium and a lot of companies wont touch the car at all due to it being a grey import.
