That's real good going with the bulbs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peter richards Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 10 years for me paid 15k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guigsy Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Baught my na for 7k, 2k worth of bodykit. Sold it a year and a half later for 5k. Baught a uk spec for 7.5k will end up selling it for something similar. Bought an unfinished single for 8k. Who knows what it's worth now. But with regards to bulbs the only time I have had to replace them was to fit hid's. Never had one just blow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian C Posted January 2, 2012 Author Share Posted January 2, 2012 Hey Ian. Didn't think you still had your Supra mate as I don't see you on here. That's real good going with the bulbs. I could say the same about you sport Still doing good deals on Pirellis? I might actually wear out the last ones you sold me at some point!

imi Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 owned mine since 2004 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian C Posted January 2, 2012 Author Share Posted January 2, 2012 The 18k was for an already quite modified car, especially for back then. Had those crazy hybrids on it, Ohlins suspension, Speedline alloys, a big FMIC, induction kit, strut braces, boost controller and that grotty Apexi AFC Not a bad deal, only had about 15k on the clock, it's got 82k now. I thought you might be one of the long termers as well, Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ewen Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Had this one for just under 9 years. Paid £23k in 2003, she had 4,500 miles on her then, 60,000+ now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraAyf Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 I have had 7 since 2005 !! Wow!! That leaves my 2 since late 2003 as a fairly token effort by comparison. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b_have Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Bought my auto (remember the EMU mapping Ian) in 1996, sold to Stonkin eleven years later, that car was wonderful with a small single. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luxluc Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 I bought mine back in 1998 and paid 32k EUR - 18.000 mls on the clock when I bought it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DodgyRog Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 I have only had mine for 5 years Paid £4200 from memory (N/A 5speed nearly stock) I know I have spent shed loads on it, but I would expect to get that for it now, maybe more if I was patient Looking at the prices you guys were paying 10 years ago for Supra's with low mileage the depreciation over the years is very minimal A Supra TT 6 speed with 20k miles would be up around 15k I would guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Attero Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Can't believe I've had the supra for 2 years now. Spent £2300 on her. And probably a further £3000 fixing her up. she's a great little thing. Love her to bits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Had mine since April 2001, book price then for a UK 6sp was about £14.5K, I got mine from a mate that had it from new and was expecting to pay around that figure so when he suggested £11.5K I bit his hand off:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mplavery Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Had mine now for almost 7 years now and paid just over 13k for it I have never replace anything which has failed and never missed a beat... I normally change my cars every 3/4 years but I still really enjoy the Supra. I do have the odd moment to buy something different but there is not much out there in my price range... maybe a R34 but that's about it but I would miss the Supra to much me thinks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwilkinson Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 I've had mine 6 years. Paid £10.5k for it back then. I have and continue to spend obscene amounts of money on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
