Benyon Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 Supra mk4's going for sale for 2.2k what the hell? theres loads under 3k , Do you think petrol has somthing to do with it? My N/A aint that bad on fuel i would have thought people would sell the TT's cheap who couldnt afford the soaring petrol prices.http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/list.asp?g=&s=271&filter=TP&o=q&pc=&min=&max=&txt=&px=&p=2&pagesize=15&xsl=list&y1=&y2=&d=0&dist=&nodays=0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marbleapple Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 Hardly 'loads'. Most of those under 3k have been there for ages so i am guessing that you get what you pay for. (I also wondered why Pistonheads keep the ads on even though cars have sold... some have been there for ages even though they clearly say sold).

Benyon Posted July 25, 2008 Author Share Posted July 25, 2008 But still if you pick up a half decent one for £2500 its alot of car for money, Theres 10 cars for sale less than 3k When i was looking to buy 3 months ago the 5hitters started at 3k.

R Black Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 Fuel(this would affect n/a's as you get less performance for no minimal gain in fuel consumption), tax(potential tax hikes), age(If your not in the know you may feel parts would be hard to come by, also reliability maybe on peoples minds) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benyon Posted July 25, 2008 Author Share Posted July 25, 2008 Look's like 5k could get a decent TT at this rate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gazboy Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 Yup and £7500 will get you a single tubby now Would it be a single worth having though? There is no point buying XYZ at 50% value if you have to sink thousands upon thousands into it, it's a false economy. As I said some months ago I went to view some rot box of a j-spec that was £4k about 6 months ago and it would easily have needed another £4k thrown at it. It smoked like Jimmy Saville & the air- con was about as cool, yet the heater wasn't all that either, the intercooler was knackered, needed new tyres and brakes. A proper inspection probably would have uncovered God knows how many gremlins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 Yup and £7500 will get you a single tubby now If you're a fan of XS power you can. A decent single auto will be at least £9-10k and a manual at least £10-11K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 The cheaper the Supra the better IMHO. The more barely literate kids that get hold of them, the better this forum becomes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangerous brain Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 (edited) If you're a fan of XS power you can. A decent single auto will be at least £9-10k and a manual at least £10-11K You haven't seen my car for sale then? I'd hardly say a do-luck demo car with BL-T67 dbb, aem, and HKS kit on it is XS power. OK its an aristo and not a supra but not a sniff at £7500 so that means that there is other machinery of the same power and shall we say styling level as mine but of better marque ie supra's for the same money. Mine is even in the super demo car section of hyper revs magazine and won an award at the tokyo auto salon. It also still features on do-lucks website in the UK the states and japside. Oh and its got useable back seats, and a boot you could fit two bodies in Edited July 25, 2008 by dangerous brain (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazboy Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 Sorry DB but the fact it's an Aristo kills your point stone dead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyT Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 :DI'd pay 9500 for b'haves tomorrow. Someone buy mine for 8k. Totally honest TT 40k miles. Recently had crap loads spent on it. All mot's etc and speak to AFR if you have doubts. I'd do this deal tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoff Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 The cheaper the Supra the better IMHO. The more barely literate kids that get hold of them, the better this forum becomes.

dangerous brain Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 Sorry DB but the fact it's an Aristo kills your point stone dead. Does it really? Same engine, same T67 turbo as a supra used, same OEM manufacturer, granted a less popular motor but not that unpopular. Oh maybe it is that unpopular because if this was the do-luck supra it would be £20k not £7500 lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeordieSteve Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 Had mine up for ages. Really well modded, recently resprayed single and I almost took 6k! Nuts... absolute nuts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangerous brain Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 So what i actually said was about right then. You can get a single tubby for about 6-6.5k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeordieSteve Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 You normally get a basic single build for that price I think. Sadly I just needed the cash at the time. Not any more tho so f*ck you all... paying propper money for it now! lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangerous brain Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 Yep and when I advertised my car at £7500 I needed the money as well. So there is envelopes for people to get themselves a bargain. We won't be the only ones that get disillusioned and or desperate to sell so there will again be some proper single turbo bargain's to be had.

The thread is about SUPRAS. This is a Supra site talking about Supra topics. Your Aristos have absolutely nothing to do with the topic. I suppose you can buy a CLK55AMG for £10k because you can buy an E55AMG for less? M6 for £20k not £40k. Hang on I saw a Boxster for £5k the other day, perhaps I could get a discount on a 911...

dangerous brain Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 And when given an example of a supra you choose to utterly ignore the point. The whole point of a boxster and a 911 is being obtuse if you want to be picky ones a low powered NA and the other is a high powered top end sports car. If you want to be really picky about it aristo's are fetching more money at auction in Japan than equivalent spec supras do so placing a single turbo variant with credible cosmetic mods in the same price bracket as a cheaply done otherwise bog standard supra is not a great leap of faith.

Daston Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 Problem is A) rising intrest rates means higher mortgages and general living. B) A lot of people view them as "old toyotas" C) the fast and furious has a lot to answer for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
