How Long Are You Going To Keep Your Supra?

[Scutch0]

I intend to keep mine for as long as i possibly can!

I'm in a low pay job, but I allways wanted a supra since I was a kid. Seeing fuel prices rise prompted me to sell my reasonably ecnomical starlet Glanza to buy a supe with the intention of keeping it for as long as I can afford to run the thing!

 

When buying it I was more than prepared to have to sell up even after just 6 months... I'm just happy to be able to say I owned One of the car that I always wanted!!

 

as for the next car, well i'm going to be looking into getting a better job, but it will involve some mileage, so if it comes down to the move, it'll be either another Glanza v, a dc2 teg type r, or a hawkeye civic type r.

 

But 6 months into supra ownership, I'm very happy with her, my only gripe is finding cash to put fuel in the tank!! Lol

Wont be selling mine either:)

Lots of plans for the car

[Branners]

I seem to keep mine for 4 years, then upgrade to a newer or better one.

 

Got another 2 years with my current one, will then get a very late spec VVTi auto or tiptoe and keep that for as long as I can.

[Guest blueangel]

i'll enjoy it when its finished and make my mind up then

[Guest Suprastar2009]

Dont ever want to sell her, its my dream car and I have lots of plans for it so plenty of time left for me and mine yet

[Lbm]

I'll have had her for 11 years this Sunday.

 

She's not going anywhere unless someone nicks her.

"Thinking Of Sellinging It Soon"

[sdistc]

I couldn't sell it.

Firstly, it's not finished

Secondly, I've invested a bit of money in it that I'd never get back.

Thirdly, there's very little out there that compares (aesthetics, performance, comfort) for the same price.

Lastly, I have an Aristo now for touring and daily-driving.. meaning the Supe will get the best of everything even more.

[Hoppy]

Put simply, i could never afford to sell my Supra. It would be daylight robbery in my eyes and anyhow, i don't even own a Supra, it owns me now

 

SUPRA FOR LIFE

[Terminator]

Comparatively for a Supra probably be looking at £80K now. Base on average earnings index of 1993 and 2010.

 

I have thought of selling, usually when I am away from home. I only need to see the car on my return and all thoughts of selling vanish. I rather break it than sell it. The market for such heavily modified cars does not exist in the UK. I don't think many potential buyers have much idea about how much thought time and effort goes into getting a genuine super car beating machine. Most expect to pay peanuts for it. Coming up to 10 years of ownership and still got plans to make it faster.

il keep my supra till its death

[TonyP]

Forever!

[fuldhat]

2 years no more than that.. then its a GT-R for sure. If I can have both, then I will keep the supra.

[ManwithSupra]

I have had mine for 5 years and never want to get rid of it however... i keep looking at the Noble M12 GTO 3r, in fact i am looking at one tomorrow (well today now)!!

 

Idealy i would still keep the supra and have a Noble as well, however i dont think the missus would want me to have two "weekend cars" and a daily driver on top, although i could give the supra to the missus and get her to sell her MR2 turbo..... hmmmm.

just a typo mistake dont get so excited!

[Tony]

Long term project for me:) one question why is there so many people on here that want a skyline? just on look's alone the Supra's make them look like shopping cars:eyebrows:

[Smallshinyant]

I like the idea of having a supra for a very long time in the future. But getting fed up with having the only non-turbo in the area. so will have to sell one day and get one with more woosh woosh, vrrrrmmmmm, vrrrrrrrmmm, eeeeeekkkk,, vrrrmm vrrrrmmmmmm.

[TJP]

I want to keep her forever!

 

Even though I'm being made redundant next month

 

I'll sell everything in the house before I end my love affair with my new Supra!

 

Totally agree with you, i have told my daughters everything else goes first if we run out of money. I am happy to live in a shed along with my supra

 

Sorry to hear you are being made redundant, same happen to me last year but after a short well earned break I did find another job. Good luck

[TJP]

Toying with selling my blackwidow soon after 7 years of ownership and getting myself one of the following:

 

Aston Martin DB9

Porsche 997 C2S

Audi R8 (assuming I manage to rob a bank).

 

After you have sold your supra and got one of the above can I be your best mate

[Neil-NA]

I will sell it when i get bored and then buy another Pulsar.

 

But for now she is staying put.

[Havard]

I am selling mine soon but I now can't decide what to replace her with. I had a guy the other day offering to take her off my hands. At that point I felt really wierd. I hardly drive her these days but I kind of like looking at it sat on my drive, maybe I'll keep her just to keep the neighbours jealous......

I'll be a Supra owner until I can (properly) afford an Aston V8.

The Aston is the only other car I've driven that gives me the same mix of aesthetic and emotional pleasure the Supra does now.

Ive owned this one seven years, and the previous MkIV TT almost three years, and I still get a kick from driving it. Its a hard act to beat even now, even after driving a lot of similar two door RWD sports coupes. Maybe next summer, if all Ardua no Astra changes to done the Ardua now some Astra.

[Ewen]

The last poll option is confusing...

[Attero]

 

If I find a better stock black TT supra at a price I can afford, then not forever, otherwise forever.
