Paul Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 (edited) So, after 13 years of ownership I'm seriously considering selling my Supra Don't need the money but could do with freeing up the garage, also having use of two other cars she's just sitting there, unused Anyway, your thoughts appreciated; 1995 UK Spec manual Mate owned from new and I've owned from 5 yrs until now ( I saw it the day it went on the road brand new!!) NO accidents, or repairs/rust 80,000 miles Full glass out respray in Trophy Blue, machine polished and not a mark on it Re-upholstered in cream leather, cream carpet (standard interior colour) Blitz Nur-spec, mint condition with first de-cat Blitz 03 alloys, mint, re-furbed and powder coated centres with stainless imported bolts, polished deep dish rims (loads of money spent) Very rare genuine TRD leather steering wheel, several hundred miles only complete with new airbag....mint condition !! Defi gauges in pillar pod with controller Apexi Air filter and cast pipe, custom quality ali air box New discs/pads all round, calipers 100% ok (UK spec) Brand new UK lights all round, front and rear Pirelli P Zeros, excellent tread (18") Auto front spoiler etc. McGuard locking wheel nuts plus tuner wheel nuts. Personal Supra related plate included (*5 UPR) I'll chuck in an 'As new' side mount intercooler worth around £300 and not fitted yet. This car, imo is fairly unique, it has had no expense spared over the years, the paint and interior is 100%, minimum mods to engine, quality items used throughout. Many say 'mint', I can 100 % say this is scratch and orange peel free, none of the shite resprays and mods I've seen over the years and genuine history with only two owners. As I said I don't need to sell but feel the time may have come to part with her. Maybe she'll sit around with little use for a few years more? Anyway, considering the condition and quality of this car I'm looking for ideas on price from you guys Cheers, Paul Edited August 7, 2014 by Paul (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTurtleshead Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 Put lots of pics up please..!! I'm keen to see it after a description like that. What was the original colour? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pudsey Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 Feel the pain, been there twice. You can always buy another one, most of the fun is in the hunt anyway. I think people with a nice car, dont really appreciate it until its gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 (edited) There can't be that many nice UK 6 speeds out there so i'd keep it unless you get an offer you can't refuse like £15k + Does it have documented history from birth Edited August 7, 2014 by Dnk (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted August 7, 2014 Author Share Posted August 7, 2014 Original colour was Storm Blue, little bit 'tired' looking when I got it and a bland colour in most light so I 'spiced' it up with Trophy Blue. and it suits. I am the ultimate fussy bugger, everything i've had done is 100%. I could never get one with this known history or spec so I need to be sure and get a decent price, I wouldn't get another as I honestly believe this car can't be bettered (other than engine upgrades).

hogmaw Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 I was thinking min 15k too, cars like this are just too rare. Please don't sell Paul, if you leave the forum I won't have anyone to bait Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOGIE Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 Aw man this is the type of car I always wished I had the money sitting in the bank waiting for. A cherished uk car. If you dont use it dry store it and cash in later. Value of this is on the up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted August 7, 2014 Author Share Posted August 7, 2014 (edited) Wow....PM's are going a bit mad, had it so long didn't realise how desirable this was !! It's a special car and needs a decent (not a rip off) price for me to part with it, I purchased a £35,000 used BMW last year that ticks a few boxes from a performance and practical point of view, now with the lack of use the time might be right for me to part with the Supra ? People that have requested pics, I will endeavour to get some at the weekend. Edited August 7, 2014 by Paul (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted August 7, 2014 Author Share Posted August 7, 2014 Forgot, life time 'Tracker' paid for and fitted, minor point but not cheap and worth mentioning and transferrable as far as I'm aware. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted August 7, 2014 Author Share Posted August 7, 2014 Bugger, also I've 'part' fitted an HKS aluminium hard pipe kit, the final bits would need fitting with the intercooler, yep.....I'll throw these in too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abz Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 LOL...... the word 'racist' will be a thing of the past Nooooooooooooo!! Totally agree it sounds from the description a min £15k (if not more) car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz6002 Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 I know this isn't very helpful, but it's worth whatever people are willing to pay for it. With that in mind, I'd start a period of bidding for it to get the best price if you really want to sell. Oh... I guess you already have FWIW, I wouldn't sell it. Can't be many like that around now. Would be a huge shame to see it go abroad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although if yours went abroad mine would get rarer .... go on sell it Seriously though I wouldn't take anything less than 15k for mine so yours has got to be worth that.

Scott Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 Rock bottom 12k IMO. I personally wouldn't sell for a penny less unless I was really needing cash. It would need to be a good home for 12k too, again.... unless I was needing cash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 I got £10k for my body kitted auto with 137,000 miles on the clock, its now in kilometers and 22,000 euro asking price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 'body kitted auto' is selling it a bit short tho Dunk lol!! It was a beaut Unless you're stuck and you really need to sell it, don't do it Paul, you'll regret it forever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShawnPreece Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 I d be making you an offer right now if i had the money, gotta be 15k worth of car there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 If you are happy to deal with foreigners (hell, I know that will be trying for you.... ), I reckon the best bids will come from abroad. Good luck, sounds like a nice UK spec machine! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted August 8, 2014 Author Share Posted August 8, 2014 Foreigners !!! LOL. I'd rather sell to the UK but the decision will be price dependant, as I said I don't need the money and judging by this thread the prices are on the up for this spec of car. I've given prospective buyers the price, anything less will result in me keeping it now. I've put too much into it over the years to not get a decent price, yes it's got plenty of history/receipts etc, infact a large folder It's like me, 100% honest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
