    Newbie Here!!!!

    Hi there as per my post in the cars for sale section - i currently have a Toyota Supra For Sale and am looking to downsize to a Clio Williams due to a career change.

    Have always loved the Williams and this site seems to be the place to collect all the info i need to make an informed purchase. Everyone seems friendly and advice/knowledge on tap!!!

    Well i can't wait to get behind the wheel of one so fingers crossed with the sale of my Supra..........

    Was looking on the net and found www.wheeldeel.com - has anybody had any dealings with these people??? Seem to specialise in 16v's and Williams.

    Cheers

    Ralph

    Many thanks for your welcome!!! As for the Supra i have to say when i set out to buy one i wanted a manual and wouldn't even entertain an auto BUT i tried both and have to say the auto makes best use of the power. If i was gonna get a twin turbo it would be a manual but the non turbo seems much more suited to the auto the changes are timed precisely.

    But i know what you mean - all i would say is don't knock it till you try it the auto is fantastic!!!!!!!!

    welcome to the site mate

    and yes.try staying away from the sunroofed models if u can....but buy the best one u can afford.


    theres been a few discussions about it, but personally, id go for bodywork to be mint over the mechanics being mint. a well looked after bodywork will normally point to a car thats been looked after, this includes under the bonnet
