/Welcome2 to CVR4!

Whereabouts in the UK are you? There might be a member nearby happy to bore you senseless about their car!

Are you looking to import one, or get one that's already been in the UK for a bit?

Worth checking to see if the cambelt has been done. They are commonly changed at 45,000 miles, as this tends to be the recommended practice.

Hi welcome to the club. Have you looked at the buyers guide HERE (http://www.clubvr4.com/index.php?page=BuyersGuide)

:happy:

yeah had a look at the buyers guide very informative and gives me info on what to ask before i part with my cash and as im 38 looking at the practical side a good family car with sporty looks and performance to boot ive had a few mk3 supras in my time but rust and head gaskets have been a major issue just want something thats going to give me loads of fun and plenty of room for the kids

hi again ive seen a legnum on ebay quite near me in carlisle its going for £2895 but the timing belt is due in 8000 mile current mileage 48000 he said the least he would take because of this would be £2600 is this worth it as the timing belt, pulleys, water pump, ancillary belts are gonna be around £500 to fit let me know or should i go for one thats had them done already thanks.
