Could this really be an S?

Hi guys

My Supra is now sold so looking about at Tuscans. Came across this one love the colour and wheels etc well within my budget however I thought the S had a splitter and spoiler as standard.

saw this at the weekend - nice looking car - a few niggles

Not an S

schuffed wheel (rim) missing centre caps
odd wobble with gear stick (seemed loose)
no fault codes
passenger door window lethargy
last service by fernhurts
plenty of documentation
good price

but I didn't buy

if you do want to see this pm me first......

Thanks for the heads up

My girl friend has fallen for the Cystal Topaz Blue paint so I think she had mentaly crossed that one off any way lol

Which are the good points, or are they all bad??

[Chewitt]

good points are it loks a nice car and there are very few chips externally. The interior is good and the s/h is all good too.

the bad points above are niggly (compared to most I've seen around that price)

the really bad points which put me off were

door alignment - large scuff rub on driver door jamb and both doors not flush fitting in sill are
and the Fernies comment "excessive smoke after start up - requires further investigation - suspect engine wear" really nailed it.

I was keeping quietish as the comment above was on the last sheet of the service bill from Fernies and didn't want to warn the dealer so that it could, accidentally of course, fall off leaving what otherwise might seem a reasoanble buy for 13999
