Back to £13,600 now. Its a roller coaster auction.
-
I'd go with that. Its strange bidding to receive a massive opening spurt of 31 bids to a really high level in the first 24hrs then stall with 6 days to go. I'd only value the car at maybe £14k being a NA originally and with an undisclosed box so its more than likely going to become a pulled listing with a day left.

Hardly reasonable to compare eras, The Supra is to the GTR as a Shelby Mustang is to the Supra.

Went all copper this year! The £50k Supra is already here, apparently. http://suchen.mobile.de/fahrzeuge/details.html?id=234408017&damageUnrepaired=NO_DAMAGE_UNREPAIRED&isSearchRequest=true&scopeId=C&minFirstRegistrationDate=1993-01-01&makeModelVariant1.makeId=24100&makeModelVariant1.modelId=33&pageNumber=2

Lower miles does equate to higher value but all classics are investible. Even Trabants. Supra TT6 prices are going up £100 a week for normal distance cars which these days are around 100k miles. More like £200 a week for low milers. Any car with an increasing value is by definition, investible. As for driving it, I have far too many cars to simply just drive these days so it will probably add another 5,000 miles over the next 10 years and I expect will be worth around £30k more than it is today without needing an engine and suspension overhaul in the meantime.

It really depends which car you have as the values for N/A Autos to UK TT6's vary by 500%. Only those with nice out of the factory and largely unmolested TT6's need concern themselves with the enjoyment versus forward investment question at this time. Sometimes, it pays to be boring and I've already driven 88,000 miles in my Supra; a car that is now in semi-retirement.
-
Not sure the mileage thing counts. I have a 51 year old Mustang with 37,000 on the clock. Is that 37,000 genuine - I really do doubt that. It could be 237,000 or any other number and it wouldn't affect the standard classic car value at 20 times its original new car price which of course is different to your museum piece classic value which would again be multiples of that.
-
Guess people don't know quite how much a conversion knocks the historical value of the car as an investable classic. Maybe people are still buying them to drive, which is a good thing as lots of people were mentioning at the NEC that you don't see Supras on the roads anymore..
-
Thanks Nic, that has let me price them up from the USA so I know what I could import them for. Cheers.
-
I've been buying in from he USA, genuine parts prices are half Toyota GB even at $1.24 to the £. Landed taxes paid the parts I recently brought over were still 30% cheaper. The UK is not known as Treasure Island in the auto World for nothing.

I'll give you a call in the morning!

sold 1995 UK Spec Big Single Turbo 800+ 6spd Manual
rider replied to Sheefa's topic in Supra Classifieds
Right call Greg, was it that she saw all the receipts in the minor service pack and couldn't face another lets send off the new car for a little service? -
Nice video Jake. Shsss, don't tell anyone. But I'm negotiating on a recent import 1996 blue TT6 early facelift at the moment. Still think 040 white is best though.
-
Does anyone know the part numbers for the front and rear screen rubbers and any associated spacers or clips required in the screen replacement process? Looking to buy in to be ready for a re-spray at some point.

Supra Prices rising in Japan vastly over last 12 months..
rider replied to Jurgen-Jm-Imports's topic in Supra Chat
Asked JM what Supras are about at the moment and even a fairly standard TT6 with 100k km landed , taxes paid is looking around £23k now. Looks from FB activity like a fair amount of Japanese Supra exports are going into Germany at the moment. -
Flat battery - that's all

was that a bump by any chance?

Probate on my father-in-laws estate lasted almost 9 months. His car had to receive independent valuations which for your family is great news. I used webuyanycar and submitted that for probate. Now the last time I checked on that site with my Supra the valuation was £600 so you should be able to get away with that for the probate and anything else on top when sold will effectively be free of death duties. the solicitor agreed to release the car once the value for probate had been defined.

found Anyone seen this? White tt6 on ebay
rider replied to Crash Bandicoot's topic in Supra Classifieds
Can't blame them for trying. I hope they fixed the air con for that and not just hope no one will notice it isn't working. Also you have to hope they will be up front about the mileage discrepancy in the MOT history records and not just claim the miles are genuine. Its a small operator with no history or contact details beyond a mobile number so probably not. -
I lost a case when the seller provided a tracking number. Idiot actually did send an A5 envelope registered mail with the tracking number. Problem for him was the item couldn't fit into an envelope so he was prosecuted by the police and ended up going inside for 6 months as a repeat offender. PayPal never did refund my money, because he provided a legit tracking number. Didn't matter to PayPal he ended up being prosecuted and jailed, that tracking number was solid gold to them to get out of giving a refund.

Only if you dad comes too. I'd miss the 5 mile daily runs otherwise.
-
She was taken in. She got carried away by the whole two days, no other way would she tell me to go and get a 2nd Supra. I do wonder how long the madness will last though.
-
I had my suspicions but didn't want to offend.

The White one, looks fantastic. Thanks to you and your dad polishing it. Anytime you 2 are in or around Shropshire do drop in. I have cloths and polish waiting! Hope you have decided to keep yours.
