heedthebaw Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Was just scrolling through the auction sites and Japan and came across a 2001 RZ, so was just curious to see if anyone on here has one as young (or even a 2002 ) Oh, link to the car for anyone interested... http://jmimports.mine.nu/?hash=haR88jYWznVgRjE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony tt Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 I think Westy has a 2000. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 2002 cars have appeared on here. I think there was one for sale in Ireland recently. Not many of the late late specs have appeared though! I thought I was doing well with a VVTi 1997 single I did look at a couple of BPU TT6 2001s but decided against it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havard Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 I nearly paid £23K for a 2002 Gunmetal NA back in 2004. The car eventually sold for £16K as the dealer couldn't shift it. Is it the 2001/2002 cars that are in the silly tax bracket? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 2002 cars are in very limited supply, and nice ones tend to cost big money. Noticed a lovely, very low mileage Bayside Blue R34 GTR on that auction site though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Havard Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Were there only around 300 made in the last year of production. May have been less than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 It was at a certain point (month eludes my memory) in 2001 that had the higher tax bracket. I'd be willing to bet that is a contributing factor to Westy having a 2000 rather than a 2002 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
st3ven1 Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Is it the 2001/2002 cars that are in the silly tax bracket? The most anyone will ever pay for road tax on a supra is £280(this year, up from £270 last year). Even then, this will only apply to cars registered after the first of March 2001. The top two tax brackets only apply to cars registered after the 23rd of March 2006. Seems to be a believed myth on here that some of the last cars were in the £490 tax bracket.

James Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 I stand corrected! I always thought it would apply! Thanks for the info Steven Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know of a couple of cars that are in the higher bracket but these were DVLA cock ups. H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heedthebaw Posted January 31, 2014 Author Share Posted January 31, 2014 I had a Mazda 3 MPS for a while and the absolute worst thing with the car was standing at the post office having to pay the road tax, £460 for a 260hp hatchback!

RobUK Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 I had a x5 4.8is - that was £490 .... Cried each year... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pedrosixfour Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 To tax my NA Supra would've cost me €1,494 per year. To tax it now with the 1JZ transplant in it would cost me €1,080 per year. I bought a trailer to tow it with my Navara, which costs me €330 per year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westy Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 As stated one of mine is a 2000 model. Doubt it's the youngest on here though!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
