supraspeed Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 as ive noticed in searchin for supras, the prices have seriously dropped in TT last few years, especially auto, now TT manuals are dropping, does anyone reckon single's will start to drop soon? mines a single and i might be contemplating selling it before its worthless... anyone think theres a pattern here...

supra_aero Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 i dont think so. TT uk manuals and TT aerotops have hardly changed. All the rare commodities are still pricey thus I reckon single turbos will still be 10k plus for awhile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supraspeed Posted July 2, 2008 Author Share Posted July 2, 2008 There is some good deals to be had out there at the min, today ive been offered a manual tt for 5.5k:) was it red... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 was it red...It was a proper 6speed. How is your 5 speed a getrag? Is it not a Supra gearbox originally? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supraspeed Posted July 2, 2008 Author Share Posted July 2, 2008 to be quite honest i'm not sure what vehicle it was from- i was told it was a special edition getrag box but goes directly into the supra. supposed to be able to deal with a hell of a lot of power though. really smooth through the gears, well it only had about 2000 miles on it apparantly so should be good lol. my car was built especially for drifting so the previous transmission was not standard.

Jake Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 Oh, right. I've not heard of that before. It's definitely Getrag though? Should be very strong if it is, I guess. Was your Supe originally a TT or NA? Does it have ABS? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supraspeed Posted July 2, 2008 Author Share Posted July 2, 2008 i interrogated the people who did my gearbox conversion and they were 100% sure it was a getrag special edition something....bla bla bla... so i'm pretty sure its genuine. it was a n/a originally...i think- i dont no how to tell lol. i get it back friday so i'l check its got ABS (i can't remember)- i havent driven it for 6 months lol.

Daston Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 I managed to sell my manual TT for just shy of 9500 and I think that was pushing it. They seem to be dropping quite fast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supraspeed Posted July 2, 2008 Author Share Posted July 2, 2008 now i'm stuck into thinking 1: sell supra and buy standardish man TT bpu- spend cash on RLTC with cash left over 2: keep supra and spend cash i don't really have on whole new trc con system + RLTC 3: buy a red TT man for 5-6k and get paint job and loads of goodies from cash left over Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 They seem to be dropping quite fastYou know it's funny really, people have been saying that for as long as I've been on here. I reckon people who paid over the odds always think prices are dropping when they see other, maybe not as good ones, selling for a lot less. eg. I bought my grey RZ Auto for £6500 over five years ago. I could probably still get around 4k for it now. That's the kind of depreciation I like!

Homer Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 I agree with Jake I know of 3 chaps who paid less than £7k for a black TT 6spd over four years ago, two of them were UK specs. Another chap paid £3.5k for a black UK auto a couple of years ago. The problem really is that for years people have been paying way over the odds for newly imported cars when there are cheaper ones already here. It's just take a lot of work and a bit of luck to locate those bargains. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supraspeed Posted July 2, 2008 Author Share Posted July 2, 2008 To be honest mate, with the spec of the car, thats not very realistic what do u mean? whats wrong with the spec... i don't even know half the spec til i get it checked out lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 what do u mean? whats wrong with the spec... i don't even know half the spec til i get it checked out lol According to the pic in your garage its a na-t http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/vbpicgallery.php?do=view&g=2262 And id have a tenner on it you have a stock 5 speed na box that is nothing to do with getrag:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian C Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 An unknown pedigree unknown power output NA-T in MSB with 3 spokes and a veilside front and spoiler It's not going to be halfway to 10k with a line up like that The only "upgraded" 5spd box I heard of was that W58 that Turbofit "upgraded" and it lasted about 3 months. I'd guess it was a stock na 5spd as well. -Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz6002 Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 what do u mean? whats wrong with the spec... i don't even know half the spec til i get it checked out lol I would say looking at your garage that you'd get around £8k max for your car if you detail it. Unfortunately NA-T conversions don't command the high price that real 6 speed TTs do. There are various reasons for this. Also, you might want to get some more info on the gearbox if it is indeed "special". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iain2010 Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 Not saying its not a nice car mate but i sold a BPU NA-TT Converted Sup with the 5 Speed box. It was absolutly mint and i struggled to get £6000 for it. Converted cars are not worth as much as originals but if your 5 speed is actually getrag then you do have something a bit different.

AndrewOW Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 I've just had my TT aerotop agreed valuation of £8500 through Sky. I would hope I could probably sell it for around that, if absolutely necessary, but I'm not selling, so its a bit academic really Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dibbleyuk Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 I do wonder what my BPU+ NA-TT is worth its a stunning car, i do have an agreed valutaion for £7500 which im happy with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
