damouk Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 (edited) Well i think its time to sell the supra as im just not getting the time to use it, infact it only covered 150 miles between the last mot's! It's a 95 6 speed manual UK spec, BPU'd and dyno'd 430bhp, has 107k on the clock and has freshly refurb'd wheels with new tyres. Ive been looking around to guage a price, but there does not seem to be many UK manuals for sale. so any ideas? The plate is not for sale with the car Edited September 9, 2009 by damouk (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tooquicktostop Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 Usually about 8K + for a UK Manual, it will more than likely go to Europe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 Whats the car like ? is it a cherished unmarked full history car, if its top condition then i'd chance my arm at £10k and see what happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 Advertise at 10k if its mint then don't let it go for less than 9 IMO. They are getting rarer and rarer these days, i would say hold out for 10k if the mileage was a little lower. I know these cars can go to the moon and back but it still puts some buyers off and makes them haggle more. Whatever price you have in mind make sure you add a fair whack on top for the advertised price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miko_supra Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 Very nice. I would probably agree with 10k, possibly a little more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DSK Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 I'd say advertise it for £10K and see how it goes. As mentioned, UK cars are rare so worth a premium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPRALOOPY Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 10K? I know they are rare but WOW!! Then again dibbley uk just got 9k for TT conversion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 I'd say 10K, as long as it's sound and no dodgy paint etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abz Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 Yep I'd agree... I'd put it up for £9,995 if you want to sell it fairly quickly... £11k if your not too fussed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
little num Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 Id say 15k as i also own a uk tt6 lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guigsy Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 uk car how rare high mileage keep it unless you get proper money for it 100k high mileage? thats nothing for a car that old. Mine is pushing 150k almost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 100k high mileage? thats nothing for a car that old. Mine is pushing 150k almost. Very true, i know it, you know it, everyone on this forum knows it. Hard truth is there are lower mileage examples available though, in comparison that makes this "high mileage". Its a kick in the nuts but thats life. Over the last 2 years, since i bought a sup, the prices have smashed to the ground. I bought mine for just over 10k, spent around 5k on it and i reckon i would be doing well to get my 10k back even though i have only done 2k miles.

Scott Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 your right. if your factoring in jspecs. but you will struggle to find many uk specs under 100k Buyers have the power to factor in what they like in order to get a bargain. We all know how badly supra's have dropped in value, UK's are hit the same as every other variant. The good thing is that they have their own premium, espeically 6spd's. I wanted a black UK 6spd when i first joined. Ended up with a facelift J-Spec 6spd. Mainly because it was the better car for the money but partly because i couldn't bloody find one lol. They are worth a premium and the longer time goes on the more that premium will grow. All IMO of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nigelboyne Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 mileage is a little high but how rare you will get 15k for it if you hold out and all paper work service history is in order Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
little num Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 (edited) uk cars mostly do have more miles on BUT they have genuine service history to back the miles up, where as most imports dont have good history and have low miles on so make me think they have been clocked or tampered with. The good thing with euro specs is they can be imported to place'S like germany - france - denmark easy as j-specs cant so that makes them have a better price tag IMO. I wanted a black UK 6spd when i first joined. Ended up with a facelift J-Spec 6spd I think most of the members on here wanted a uk car but got fed up with waiting and bought a J-SPEC, when i put up a wanted for a uk 6sp almost all the replies was - you will be luckly - but about amonth after popped up a silver uk 6sp so i bought it.

A nicely looked after clean car that hasn't been ruined by stupid modifications is far more important. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
