lexsum Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 i struggled to get £9K for my UK supra 12 months ago. it was an auto but had only 36,000 miles on it. there is a tendancy to overestimate the demand for UK cars which historically has kept the price higher but now all supras are falling dramatically due to age and running costs.

SupraAyf Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 there is a tendancy to overestimate the demand for UK cars which historically has kept the price higher but now all supras are falling dramatically due to age and running costs. I fully agree with that statement. I would rather have a J-Spec that has been imported from the South of Japan than a UK-spec that has seen too many UK salty winters.

And do you think it would go abroad? cheers guys, im in 2 minds wether to sell or not so you opinions would be grateful btw a very nice standard uk spec yes.. put yours up for sale, so i can buy it haha in all fairness i was looking for a decent uk spec, low mileage manual for my base car.. but considering the asking price is pretty much my budget and the mods id wanna do.. its just outta my reach. Not taking it away from the car tho. With looking whats around on the market its well worth the premium for the right buyer, good luck shes a beaut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You wouldn't believe what you'd need to do to your car and how much it would cost to register it in France! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheekymonkey Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Wow that's a special car. Can you make the new buyer sign something to say it won't be modified? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBR Posted July 17, 2009 Author Share Posted July 17, 2009 I hope the new buyer wont modify it ive kept her pristine and just as Mr T intended her to be , its got to be one of very very few left the hasn't been touched and probably the only one on this mileage with all the paper work and history to back up. Had a nice chap come and view it on Wednesday he definatly seems the sort of person i would like my car to go to, wants to keep it stock i believe and really loves his cars! - fingers crossed. I dont think i could stand this car to go to boyracer to then see it crusing down the road with green neons flashing in time to the drum and bass blarring from the 20,0000 watt system - ewwwww, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan4 Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 As much as its very nice and rare is it really going to fetch that money in the current market, i had the same sort of struggle with a similar milage UK spec GT4 which was in perfect showroom condition inside/out/underneath, i had it for sale for 6months and in the end it went for peanuts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sold my UK car for 8k stock 90k on the clock (auto) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBR Posted July 20, 2009 Author Share Posted July 20, 2009 The car is actually priced very well for what it is i was offered £16k for her not so long ago but wasnt selling at the time. Considering the cnditionan a history on this car you cant go wrong, thats all i would be prepared to let her go for anyway, anything less and ill be keeping her, im sure she is defo worth £14K if not more perhaps. I do agree though these £20k remarks flying around are a bit over the top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chiefgroover Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 This shows how poor the Supra market is at the moment, I remember a time five years ago when there would have been a fight to get this car. Its a very rare find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Need4Speed Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 Just hang on a bit longer. As the pound collapses your car becomes better and better value here in France. As it's standard and manual it's just the sort that people here would buy. If you try to sell it to France, point out to any potential buyer that the UK car is homologated and there will be no trouble registering it. We do have something of an economic downturn here though.

Its a very rare find. Its not just the Supra market i very much doubt anyone in the UK will pay that premium even for a rarity, a European may well do however as they have no choice if they demand the specifics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
