Havard Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 It's got a 158K on it!! I think it is a reasonable price. Lovely looking car though. H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobD Posted November 23, 2008 Author Share Posted November 23, 2008 gorgeous colour! even with 158k on how rare it is still quite cheap imo! went to see the other uk one on there thursday the silver one with the whifbitz front bumper! the body work was in superb condition as was the rest of the car! that was up at 7k! had done 100 odd thousand! little bit out of my price range atm though!

dangerous brain Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 Can't be too cheap as its not sold yet. Its a fine looking motor and if its has proof of that service history its got another 100k in it. I am sorely tempted by a wagon like this but an unserviceable aristo would prevent me from even looking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 I wouldn't touch even a Supra wih >100k on it... saying that >60k would put me off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't touch even a Supra wih >100k on it... saying that >60k would put me off. At least the seller was being honest with the mileage, unlike some ''dealers''...

AJI Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 I wouldn't touch even a Supra wih >100k on it... saying that >60k would put me off. Why is this Mike ? I know the usual reasons for people being put off such like worn parts etc. But a 60K Supra engine would only need a cambelt/oil service and is will still pull as hard as a 30-40K engine for example. If the car has been serviced with a full history and there is no excessive corrosion then the good thing with a high milage motor is that you are getting it cheaper than a low milage one. Just interested as to why some people see a certain milage figure and then say 'no way' ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just interested as to why some people see a certain milage figure and then say 'no way' ? WAS there not someone who run the supra to near 200k miles? So mike is more or less saying he wouldnt touch a uk spec? cant be to many left with less than 100k on them and maybe one or two left with less than 60k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnny g Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 Mine's > 100k miles, well maintained. New belts/pulleys/plugs etc and regular oil and filter changes. It's still pulling like a clichéd train. Give me a higher mileage maintained car over a lower mileage abused one ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3LL Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 I wouldn't touch even a Supra wih >100k on it... saying that >60k would put me off. mines 101k, runs like a dream, never misses a beat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 It depends a lot on the cars history and how many owners its had, if i was on a budget id not touch a supra with 100k+ either way My current supra has about 37k on it and drives like new.

Gaz Walker Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 Nice colour that, same as my last Sup, Toyota Blue Cosmos Pearl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supraturbochris Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 i think if i was buying another supra, the mileage dont put me off as much if the cars in good condition, service history etc and well maintained and the person in genuine of course.

Mike Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 There isn't much science in my statement and I'm not saying anything with over 100k is junk. I would just be weary, that's all. There are obviously lots of bits that can go wrong outside of regular servicing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gazboy Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 Milage wouldn't bother me, the overall condition of the car would. If it's straight, clean and in good nick then I see no problems here. If you look at the adverts of all these cars you will notice that condition and milage are not entwined or one being an indication of the other.

carl0s Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 Nice colour that, same as my last Sup, Toyota Blue Cosmos Pearl That's not a standard UK colour is it? Do you think the fact that it appears to be riding much higher on the left than the right is an issue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazboy Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 Rev5 MR2's came in that colour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Wilson Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 I think the main issue is it's priced at about double what it's worth.... Recession, and all that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
