Talk me out of a Supra..

[Daggers89]

Ok, I'm 22, currently drive an EP3 Type R. I've always had an itch for a Supra (would have to be manual!) and I've figured I could get insured on one for £800 (surprising as I pay £1k on the Civic).

Obviously my fuel costs would rocket but please, for the sake of my bank balance, talk me out of this!

Buy one

You wont regret it

Petrol is only going to go up and good Supra's are only going to get rarer with time. Do it before its too late!

Quit being a girl and buy it.

Stop living in dreamland!

Do it. If you are afraid of the potential costs then a 200SX might be a cheaper, more practical solution.

Get the Supra.

[marcosgt]

OK - Don't buy one, you'll only enjoy it

N/A or TT?

[XitUp]

If that hasn't put you off, nothing will.

I really like them. Except that a GTR is SUCH a better car in all respects.

The pop up headlight versions are becoming incredibly expensive for what hey are because the are very popular with drifters because of their tweak friendly engine and good weight distribution. Then non pop up light versions are much cheaper, but don't look as good IMO.

I like the Supra. Great shape in standard form. Just add some decent wheels and a good valet and away you go

In short. Go buy it

[johninspain]

Get it , you will kick your self in a few years time when you CAN'T own one because of OTHER COMMITMENTS ! Trust me !

Buy one, keep it a short time and then you cN say youve had it.

[V8Triumph]

If it's a car you want to own go for it.

My mate loved his, it was great driving and physically watching a fuel guage drop..........

[Heartworm]

I've had 2, first when I was 19. Huge amounts of fun, great driving although a lot of people did tend to comment that they were a bit boy racerish. Not a huge amount to run, wasn't too bad on petrol but did go through brakes quite quickly.

I've owned both a TT and an N/A, the N/A was definitely disappointing having owned the TT first, I thought I didn't need the power as I never used it but without it felt rather slow.

That's the reason I want one, not normally a fan of modified but that is loverly along with most of the cars in the first fast and furious, imagine owning that one it would be recognised everywhere! (would just need to find a Ferrari to replicate the race lol)

One of mine ended up candy orange, it gets attention, not always good.

[Ozzie Osmond]

Cheap to buy.

The bills could be ........... interesting.

I'd want to be sure I could handle the (potential) running costs before taking the plunge.

[NISR227]

Buy one now when you can, just watch your licence, unlike the ep3 you wont be working that hard before your into silly speeds.b
