TubbyTwo Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Just doing the rounds on PH looking through the supras ready for my return from honeymooning when I should be getting one. Had to read this twice and still cant see why its so cheap!! 94, uk spec, auto 74k, FSH... http://pistonheads.com/sales/3328208.htm surely this should be worth loads more? :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
l33wgn Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Dont know? But if I hadn't just bought my house I'd be giving them a ring!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManwithSupra Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Probably unaware of its value or is desperate to sell.. someone will be up for a bargin! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastcar Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 There is a thread about this car already dude. Its advertised wrong it actually has 179k on the clock not 79k. I do beleave this car was brought by a trader and is now for sale at a higher price:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geo Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 surely that will go abroad at that price. ???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TubbyTwo Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Ah ok that makes more sense! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony tt Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Maybe just the time of year and the current financial ruin the country is in. Could need a quick sale aswell with family etc as the add says. It's a steal anyway by the looks of it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony tt Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 makes sense now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 It can't be that cheap if it's still for sale after 12 days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abz Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Yep, this one has 179k on the clock and not 79k as indicated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Hasn't it also been sold to a car trader and its on the autotrader at £5500 ish ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyson Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 As above, it used to belong to a member on here called dangerousandy before it was sold to that trader. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Wilson Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 The average UK Supra is now a rusty old thing underneath as it will have seen plenty of salty winters. Maybe this is a less than average example, the advertiser mentions the condition of the body is good considering it's 20 years old. That can be different strokes to different folks. I rarely see a nice UK car, underneath wise, but still see plenty of near mint fresh, or recent, imports. I see tons of posts on other forums saying "Jeez, why's it so cheap, if only I had the cash, if only it was pea green, if only it was at the end of our road, if only the seller was a chain smoking one eyed dwarf", blah blah. There are lots of "if onlys" that are the reason for a supposedly cheap car to remain unsold for a long time. The "if onlys" are what make them not really as cheap as they might appear. If a car is really dirt cheap people overlook the "if onlys". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 (edited) The cars been sold to a trader Chris and its now over £5500 i think on autotrader, its also done 100,000 more miles than in the advert on P/H Just to add theres plenty of rusty horrid j specs about as well but most people buying these cars dont even think about the underneath and what they can't see, same goes for the mileage being whatever it says on dash Edited January 3, 2012 by Dnk (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hollands Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 it makes me happy they think its worth 5500 with 179 thousand miles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Havard Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 I remember seeing this on the moon on my last visit there. The mileage would confirm this too. H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the MOT guy had mine up in the air, he turned to me and said... "Are you sure this is a 1996 model?" He then showed me the BMW 1 series on the next ramp up which is only 3 years old & the difference was amazing! That reminds me, need to get the underneath protected.

Cool, I'll be looking into what to get done, need to check what Rob (Chrome Magpies.com) uses as I am hoping to drop it off to him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In another thread about protection Chris Wilson recommended Dinitrol as being the best thing to use. Worth a look as it doesn't seem that expensive.
