Guest rnewton Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 I've seen the market dip for Supras over the past two years - i paid £16k for mine 3 yrs ago, but am now having trouble selling it for £10.5k. Am i asking too much? i must say i'm tempted to keep it, replace the original double din head-unit and speakers and may be loose the rear spoiler... add on Pistonheads http://www.pistonheads.co.uk/sales/636342.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz6002 Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 Seems like a fair price to me. The problem you've got is that the ass has fallen right out of the market. Maybe ask Jurgen to advertise it abroad? That's where all the nice Supras are going these days. It's a lovely car though mate, don't take any silly offers on her if you can afford to wait.

SupraAyf Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 Looks a great price to me considering the age and mileage. As a recommendation but I would remove the 'Dump Value' from the engine as what you've stated in your PH-advert and place a Dump Valve there instead - it will make things run better:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveR Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 If anything that's cheap. Everyone has been saying prices have crashed since I joined this forum 3 years ago. I've only seen them slowly decline, with age. I sold my 1994 TT for £10.5k earlier this year; I only advertised it on here, and the buyer was from Sweden. Maybe get an ad up on here.

Yep, I would certainly try for a higher asking price than £10,500 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
formatzero Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 Hi Richard,i thought it was a bargain the last time you advertised it and i would have had it away if i could have sold my honda,instead i had to buy an n/a and keep the honda.£10,500 seems cheap to me,if you cant sell it on here I'd be surprised Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 Doesn't seem cheap to me I bought a 34k mile Tip for £10k in 2004. It was advertised on here for months, initially at 14k with no takers. The price gradually dropped a little every few weeks, with lots of folks saying "OMG, too cheap!" and "I can't believe this hasn't been snapped up" etc etc - but nobody actually bought it. When it got to 10k I bought it because it truely was undervalued at that price - but that was 3½ years ago. To be fair, mine was that unpopular white colour and rnewton's is a really good colour, but still ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that one was in the wrong location and would've been snapped up in seconds if it were further south. As it was it didn't turn out to be such a bargain anyway.

Scooter Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 The problem is how many people are right now actively looking for a nice vvti tiptronic? .....and there are 2 cheaper on autotrader. There are IMO very very few first time supra buyers out there looking at the higher end of the market. I know we all think they are great but the average car buyer has a vast selection of maybe not as fast but certainly newer or more genuinely sporty or more prestigious marques. eg newer 52/53 nissan 350z sportier 02 Elise prestigious 3.2 Boxster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(10½k) Not that I'd buy one, cos they're all convertibles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
