Mike Posted July 13, 2011 Author Share Posted July 13, 2011 Blimin heck! I can't remember if you said - are you on pistonheads with your ad? First place Michael found a buyer from.... I was, and then I wasn't.. and then I've tried eBay and the local papers at home. It's going nowhere fast. If I'd have known the car would be such a hard sell I would have skimped on everything it needed doing to it.. can't help but think I've sunk a ton of money into it to make sure everything is 'tip top', and to be honest no-one gives a toss unless it has a big plastic kit on it and huge wheels!? I should have saved the money on the services/up-keep and just bought a body kit. You live and learn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlotte Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 That's why I mentioned Pistonheads because it's a target audience, rather than someone who knows nothing of the cars. I still think there must be people out there looking for a clean, well maintained example - despite all the chavved up ones floating around.

The thing that gets me is the chavved up ones seem to sell really quickly!? You're right.. target market etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Littler Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 It's a great example! And as it's stock there's plenty of potential for anyone who bought it! Hope it sells! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks bud It's doing my head in to think what's putting people off!? I've re-read the a ton of times, checked all the photos to see if I've picked up something odd that might be putting people off!? I can't think of anything?? She runs like an absolute dream... if I didn't now live in E1 I'd still be driving her!?

mike33 Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 Hang in there mate Its a lovley clean car. The market really is poor she will sell. I would have bought this but I got mine just before this came on the market. If i was looking for one again I would buy a good quality car with lots of history like this and kit this one out. I cannot believe you still have this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevie_b Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 Maybe a bodykit and aftermarket wheels add value to a supra? I'm surprised to hear that (and saddened) if it's true, especially the bodykit bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted July 14, 2011 Author Share Posted July 14, 2011 Just curious, what mileage do you get on a NA auto? cheers It varies massively dependant on how you drive it and urban/motorway. Around town you would probably get around 22-24mpg driving sensibly, and 18-19 if you're not On the motorway (I've driven it from Portsmouth to Middlesbrough a few times, 330 each way) you'd get >30 miles to the gallon.. again, providing you're within normal speeds and not risking your license! All in all it's pretty good.. before I had the Supra I had a 1.6 Astra, and I didn't feel too much pain going from that to the Supra... I think people just assume that because it's a 3 litre engine the fuel costs would be horrendous. Unless you've modded it to drink more, they’re not actually too bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marc_p Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 TBH, I think silver always puts people off, they always seem to go for a lot less and hang around for quite a while longer. But that is a rediculous price for a good condition facelift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
