_Shane_ Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 As most of you know I have my Supra up for sale at the moment I said i would ask ye for some opinions / feedback on what ye think of the car as it stands right now? I thought i would have had more interest from people regards to selling it but that unfortunately is not the case Is the BN kit throwing people off the car? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonR24 Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 The BN kit is VERY marmite. Also 23k price is going to be a very niche market for a supra so it's just getting those sort of people which will take a lot of time I should imagine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattP Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 its a very nice car but if honesty is your preference the answer is yes the BN kit is too much for me but that does not mean somebody wont like it. Free bump on your sale thread Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz6002 Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 I'd say for that sort of money I'd like at least one picture of the car as it'll be when I pay for it. That means everything shut, the right wheels on and clean. I'd also like a full set of pictures of the car including any paintwork problems highlighted. Basically, you've spent a long time on the advert, but it could be more complete to ask that amount of cash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooter Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 Agree about the kit! Also think you could replace the euros price with £18,500 for better visual effect for uk buyers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattP Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 Yes that I just had another look it needs allot more pictures adding if you want top money your add is very good but lots of pictures will aid a sale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TuneR Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 Perhaps people are waiting until its mapped to see what it makes, id not touch a car until then. It is a very "unique" car and therefore will take awhile to find the right buyer for it to sell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fitz Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 Just to add my views also (as thats what the thread is about) Car: I think a lot of time and money has gone into the car and the single setup is great. As mentioned the BN kit is a bit Marmite and as some of the panels are blended and in a non OEM colour, it wouldnt be a straight forward task of sourcing different OEM bits/aftermarket kit to suit the potential buyers tastes (should they not be a fan of the BN kit) and swapping them across. Price: Again as mentioned is the top end of the market for a Single Turbo Supra, not saying that they don't come around as Im sure they do but you're appealling to a very Niche section of the audience. Location: I know Ireland isn't a million miles away. But, potential buyers (outside of Ireland) would still have to fly/ferry over to view the car etc then work out means of bringing it back, registering it for UK (or whatever country they live in) roads etc etc. Not trying to sound negative about the car or anything as its a nice example so please don't interpret it that way GLWTS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 The kit will put a lot of people off I think, some members do like that sort of thing though, I'd put a load more pictures up, get a dyno print up, and put the £ price in the advert as said above, £18,500 sounds a lot better than €23,000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Shane_ Posted June 6, 2014 Author Share Posted June 6, 2014 I was thinking of holding off putting up the ad until the car arrived back with all the latest work completed (wire tuck / clutch / mapping etc) I will get a proper shoot of the car done when it returns so everyone can see it from all angles. Also a dyno graph will be put up And i do agree the bn kit can be a love hate thing Thanks for the feedback lads I appreciate it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTurtleshead Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 Get it mapped and prove it's reliable first. That's the single biggest factor that would put me off. Second would be the body-kit I'm sorry to say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Massey Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 Why are you selling? All that work and money and you haven't even drove it or used it. An explanation of sale may help too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Shane_ Posted June 6, 2014 Author Share Posted June 6, 2014 Lads if ye dont like the kit that is no bothers I just want people to give their opinion and if removing the bn kit and fitting back oem kit will help with sale then that will be something i will seriously look into doing Engine bay wiring is almost all sorted (wire tuck) and once completed its mapping time then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Shane_ Posted June 6, 2014 Author Share Posted June 6, 2014 Only selling it as i want to head to oz, most of my mates are over there Any inspection is welcome on the car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
