rider Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 Asked JM what Supras are about at the moment and even a fairly standard TT6 with 100k km landed , taxes paid is looking around £23k now. Looks from FB activity like a fair amount of Japanese Supra exports are going into Germany at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mplavery Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 There's several in the US for $100k now, and one for sale in Japan for £46k. From what I gather, a forum member was offered circa £30k for a tt6 recently. I have also noticed a few more foreign buyers putting wanted ads up for Supras in the Uk recently, which in't surprising given the exchange rate. Until interest rates start climbing and/or property becomes more affordable, I can't see an end in sight for the surge in the classic car market. I think we're bound to see the prices surge some more over the next few years, unfortunately. Jesus crazy crazy prices ! Never know, we all might get our money back what we have spent on it one day lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rider Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 Stock (without air box) 1997 VVTI Supra just come up in Japan for £10,000. Looks like it hasn't be loved but someone could land it in the UK for around £14k. Its a bargain price in comparison to all the other TT6's currently advertised in Japan that I've seen. https://www.tradecarview.com/used_car/toyota/supra/19783420/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were known for disintegrating and the engine sucking the foam up. There's either no filter in the housing or worse it's somewhere in the engine. Not disputing it's a good price though!

I dont think it looks too bad underneath, you're gonna get some surface rust but there's not a great deal I saw on those pics. (of the blue one) My main thought was how dusty it was, including the engine bay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Under trays also missing plus I agree the rear quarter looks to have a nice dent. The worry is what else are the pictures not showing as its easy too see the obvious (cars mostly look good in pictures!) If you buy through an importer can you refuse the car on collection as not described or do they sort any issues for you included in the price? I would expect its quite dusty as if you look at most cars abroad they are very dusty, personally I would prefer an untouched car rather than a valeted one when buying as you see an honest vehicle not a tarted up one.

You could have eaten your dinner off the underside when they arrived, the suspension arms looked brand new. I can only guess that this has lived in a coastal region, and the visible rust could well be an indicator of much worse elsewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a bargain price in comparison to all the other TT6's currently advertised in Japan that I've seen. https://www.tradecarview.com/used_car/toyota/supra/19783420/ I have delved a bit into how 'good' the people working this site are and it appears they are very bad. So, best avoided. It seems operated out of Africa and you need to send your money to them and they then undertake the Japanese purchase (sometimes). Reviews say sometimes nothing ever appears and they don't ever see their money again and other reviews say sometimes a completely different car turns up. Only great reviews are from those with very poor English. Seems it is either a very poor come scammers site so one to avoid! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mplavery Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 (edited) Just seen a few more adverts like these Fresh import 70k tt6 miles Supra for £24k ! Seen a kitted one for 23k too R34 GTR are crazy prices now 50k upwards I remember I was looking at them when they were around 23k .... Wished I bought one now lol Edited February 5, 2017 by mplavery (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 The Supra has increased as much in value as the R34, in percentage terms I remember maybe 3 or 4 years ago there was a vvti tt6 that sold for circa £9500, that would be a £20k car now. The combination of economic factors that has driven these rises continues, and so prices will continue to increase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The combination of economic factors that has driven these rises continues, and so prices will continue to increase. To me it seems the Japanese are dictating prices right now. Everyone here is pricing there's slightly lower than a fresh import so it'll keep going up in line with the R34 GTR now I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rider Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 Just been checking Japanese listings, stock TT6's over US$30k becoming the norm even for more normal km cars. Wont be long before importers will be asking £30k rather than £23k. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've only seen 3-4 Same for any car I suppose if its built to a high standard then it would command a high premium? only to collectors its going to be worth more stock.
