johnnyknox Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 Bit of a strange thread and I am sure it will get mixed responses. With the total cost of your Supra (including purchase price and cost of midifications etc), is there another car out there that you wish you had pruchased for the exact same money? For many of you the answer will be no but for me personally I wish I had gone for something like this: http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/354109.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cable Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 damn that is nice dude! I'm not sure what I would've gone for otherwise. I've done the GTR thing so there wasn't many others to go for. Maybe a 20V conversion Quattro... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gazboy Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 Nope. Had the choice of a Supra, M3 evo, Esprit Turbo or Chimaera. All similar cost to purchase, similar running costs etc. The Supra is now sale agreed, just waiting for a lad to stump up the cash, going to get a M3 now.

johnnyknox Posted February 13, 2008 Author Share Posted February 13, 2008 http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/355644.htm You have really spent 68k on your Supra? ..wow (nice car though) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Massey Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 iv got the car i want, and thats the supra, i plan to keep it for many years doing everything i want to do to it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
and1c Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 Dont forget that even if you bought the R34Gtr... the pattern and costs will be exactly the same.Only even more pricey At the end of the day its the wrong type of car to buy if you dont expect to want to mod it and spend £££ on maintaining it.... No regrets Supra 4 Life Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 Price per pound I don't think you can beat the Supra, but I think you're really asking the people that have spent the big money. I've spent a pittance in comparison to many on here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 For approx. the same amount of money I'd be looking at a nice Golf Tdi or Audi A3 albeit a few years old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed Pete...and yeh, this thread is directed more at those that have spent big money on their Supras rather than those who have just got a stock or BPU car.

SupraStar 3000 Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 I'm with you Stef, R34 GTR's are lush! Just need to find £29.999 more pounds and I stand a chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
