stevie_b Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 KEEP IT, unless its the building you really like & not the driving? Nail, head I suspect. That is why people are poor. Instead of giving £20,000 to the rich bankers as deposit for a debt you will be paying forever, spend the next 3 weeks planning a business which can be generating you an additional £3000 monthly, run it profitably for a year, and sell it to your competition for 12x - 24x or more its revenue value, then you have money to pay outright half the cost of a new house and still keep the supe. It's a good plan, although some of the finer details have been sketched over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David P Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 There are so many Supra's being broken at this time, the 'top-end' market is flooded anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah i agree, which is another reason why ill hold off for a year or so. There is very good money tied up in mine, granted i wont get RRP on what i forked out but i will get far more breaking than i would if i was to sell complete... unless someone offers me £22k which i know to the right person person looking for a show car its a bargain and you cant build this for that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markssupra Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Break it Rob, I need some cheap shiny bits Seriously though, it would be a shame as you only recently finished it. Good decision to keep for a while Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve.m Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Mine isn't back from SRD yet but What is the recommended time for putting up a break/sell thread up after getting your car built? I wouldn't want to break the trend. :run: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve.m Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Lol, He needs to put a clause in the invoice for time allowed to break. Breaking is the only option to get a return at the moment. God to hear your holding off for now mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your not wrong, once you have got past the creating a list time its all down hill. I did mine last week when it was not running right Its the weather in this country that ruins all the fun, if we had more sunny days people could get out and enjoy these sort of cars more. A 4x4 Datsun can be enjoyed all the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alot of money is tied up in my car and its all my money too, the car is great for the company but at the end of the day i funded everything for this out my own pocket. To get on the housing market ill need a stupid deposit to put down and unless i start saving drastically now, i think the car will have to go for me to get a decent lump sum. The forum is heading that way though but atleast people are still buying the cars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noz Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 People are still buying the parts as well, so clearly alot of people still in love with their motors. Hell of a build mate, you must just be pleased you've done so well with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, supra club is still the best forum IMO, very busy, the shows/events seem to be dead now but I'm guessing that's on most forums?

It’s a shame we don’t have as many events when I first joined there were quite a few going on and now it’s very sporadic. I remember that there used to be a couple or more club track days a year that were always fully booked. Now its really hard to get people together to go to a easy local meet, never mind a large event. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dim Sum Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 This year must of been the saddest year if you break your supra. Within the forum, because so many iconic supra breaking in one year. Glad you changed your mind Find the love to keep it and maybe your problem ain't the Supra, just stop spending money on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveR Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Agreed, supra club is still the best forum IMO, very busy, the shows/events seem to be dead now but I'm guessing that's on most forums? I'd guess that people having less disposable money + rapid increase of fuel costs + crap weather = taken a toll. Also I stepped down as an events org. I remember that there used to be a couple or more club track days a year that were always fully booked. Rose tinted specs I fear; I organised the first club-run track day, repeated it the next year, and it was run again a 3rd year by Nevins IIRC. Every time it was difficult to fill; people find a thousand reasons they can't/daren't track their Supras. Shame, because it was a great event and especially good for track newbies. Maybe it'll get a resurrection in future, I like to think so. Incidentally, there are [at least] two trackday discussion going on right now: http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?275553-Club-trackday-invite-Oulton-Park-Nov-2nd http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?275405-Track-day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
