marc_p Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 How come your selling up fella? p.s. Maybe some photo's would help as non members can't view your garage:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraMan Mk4 Posted May 13, 2011 Author Share Posted May 13, 2011 Hey Marc, Im mainly selling as my insurance renewal came through over £300 extra this year, after doing a search and calling up Adrianflux etc the cheapest I could get was still over £200 more than last year. Even though im 25 with 5 years no claims, and never had an accident. I also have a new job which means I no longer walk to work but will now have to drive. And that means driving the Supra just over 30 miles a day round trip. So I am now going from driving it approx 40-50 miles a week to 200+ and with petrol prices on the up I just cant justify that sort of outlay when combined with insurance hike when im saving to move get a mortgage with my other half. If it doesnt sell it will just go into storage and use it as a project car for the future. And ill get a cheap run around for the time being until such time arises. Im having some photos taken over the weekend so will gt them up Sunday night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marc_p Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 Nice pics:) It's a good price for the car aswell. Shame your selling but priorities have to be set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraMan Mk4 Posted May 16, 2011 Author Share Posted May 16, 2011 Thanks Marc, It is a shame to sell if thats what it comes down to, but ive really enjoyed owning a Supra and will definately return to one at a later date. The alternative is that I put it into storage and get a little run around until myslef and the better half find our own place. (Garage essential ) Ive had a message from a user who has been a member since July 2009 but never posted and based in Holland, that wants my phone number to arrange a viewing.......Not too sure what to do about that one to be fair.

Dnk Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 Your photo's are nice but i think some untouched pictures would seriously help your sale and show the car exactly as it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraMan Mk4 Posted May 16, 2011 Author Share Posted May 16, 2011 Hi Dnk, What do you mean by untouched? They were just taken with a camera mate, albeit an expensive one. It was part of a photo shoot for a friend of mines portfolio. I can happily take some fotos this eve on the iPhone and put them into the mix as well if it'll help. As mentioned this is my first sale thread so im still learning myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 To me they look like they've been photo shopped. Too many shadows. Heres a couple of pics of a friends white supra without any shadows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraMan Mk4 Posted May 16, 2011 Author Share Posted May 16, 2011 Ah I get what you're saying. Thats not a problem, I'll get some of the car taken with the iPhone this evening so both will be available and as you say give a true vision of the car aswell as a tarted up version. Also just realised I didnt take any photos with the roof off???? Massive Fail!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 Good pics are a must in my opinion, both sides, front and rear, interior, engine bay and ofcourse with it being an aerotop one with the roof off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SupraMan Mk4 Posted May 18, 2011 Author Share Posted May 18, 2011 This is going on Autotrader this eve at £4495, can anybody recommend any other ways apart from Pistonheads and Ebay? £4200 if it means it stays within the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraMan Mk4 Posted May 20, 2011 Author Share Posted May 20, 2011 Price bump. £3995 No Offers. - Seen a Mondeo i'd like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixelfill Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 As Dnk says the HDR images really do the car no favours - whilst they are nice photos the car looks dirty, and the engine bay looks filthy. You could do with just some good quality simple images to really sell the car. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robzki Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 Yep agreed, I was put off by the hdr type pictures. The engine bay does look rough just for the effect that has been put on the pic. You can however take pics of my car anytime you like Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
l33wgn Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 stop lowering the price!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraMan Mk4 Posted May 20, 2011 Author Share Posted May 20, 2011 I see where you are coming from guys, I will get some more taken this weekend just with the iPhone. Lee, price was/has only been dropped as I have seen a nice (cough) Mondeo near me that is up at the moment. I've just had a call from a guy up at Heathrow who offered me £3500 cash tobight but I couldn't bring myself to let it go for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
