Well some of you might of read that i went to garage yesterday to look at Toyota MR2 and part x my MGF VVC but on arrival there it was a TF160 VVC the top spec model of all TF range. I go back down tonight to test drive and put my deposit on.

*bring on HGF*

My dad bought one of these, he is 55

Nothing usefull to add really, just wanted to say

Morba · 25 Apr 2008 at 10:12

they look nice in blue (not sure if that specific model comes in blue!)

So, you took an MGF off to part ex for a more reliable car and all round better car, and you bring back an MGTF.

Unlucky. I'd have had the MR2.

my old man werent to impressed either, the MR2 had high milage this car has full service history and recently had water pump and cam belts changed so

i should be ok fingers crossed

The big question is how much? This way the usual motors mob can come along and either say "good price, still going to get hgf, badly built etc" or they will say "what have you done, off with your head your so stupid LOLPMSL".

I think theyre nice enough cars, and the 160 is pretty swift. :cool:

part x i had to wangled him down to £3,000

Sounds to me like you've got the wrong mentality here. You're announcing this as your new car and saying that you're paying a deposit tonight yet you've not even driven it yet.

Car dealers love people like you who get attached to an individual car before the deal is done. You need to be of the mindset of "I *might* buy this car" right up until a price is agreed and the deal is done, if the dealer doesn't think you're going to walk away you'll just get shafted on the price.

No ive driven many F's and TF's and i started it up i didnt pull off down road in it thats all i know what to look for and what i expected straight away as he knew this. When i checked the common signs and wanted to see logbook before i even started it. And i drove hard bargin i even getting garage to change the front and rear badges changed to new ones. 4 new goodyear tyres and the alloys re-furbed.

Well for your sake, lets hope it isn't a nail. Just because you have driven a million others doesn't mean this one is any cop.

fonzee · 25 Apr 2008 at 11:02

Toker · 25 Apr 2008 at 11:03

wow those arches must be huuuUUuuuge

it needs uber lowering

kai · 25 Apr 2008 at 11:08

I know the MGF i got is on hydrogas so it easy to lower these on springs, this car aint to bad though its not to high.

Toker · 25 Apr 2008 at 11:10

ah well maybe its just me, I am leading a crusade against huge gaps between arches and tyres

Berger · 25 Apr 2008 at 11:22

I like them, suposed to be really good to drive too.

Not sure if i could bring myself to buy one though.

kai · 25 Apr 2008 at 11:41
