r2ck_p Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Hi guys, I have a new company car arriving this week and I am either planning to sell my Supra or put her in to storage for a few years. The spec is endless and the approach by me and the previous owner (both mature club members) has been an open wallet approach to the cars upkeep and maintenance. She hasn't had any track or drag use and is a well looked after and cherished example. Members have contacted me directly in the past and I haven't really been willing to part with her and although I am not desperate to sell, I am now open minded to the idea. Make: Toyota Model: Supra Twin Turbo (BPU) – Pre-vvti Year: 1996 Facelift: Yes Mileage: 86K MOT remaining: 12 Months Service History: As well as the regular annual servicing, the car has also had the valve stem seals replaced, crankshaft pulley replaced, copper contacts in the starter motor replaced and coil pack clips replaced. Also had a new Toyota UK Spec Supra battery (higher CCA) and battery terminals replaced. Just had 4 new tyres (£600) in the last 6 weeks and also New Toyota Radiator, New Coolant, New Genuine Toyota Cambelt, Tensioner & Tensioner Pulley, Gates Fan/AUX Belt. Most of the work including the BPU was completed by Chris Wilson with the rest completed by either Toyota or me. Car's location: Manchester Modifications: - Greddy Chrome Radiator Pipe - Greddy 1.3bar Radiator Cap - NGK Iridium Spark Plugs - Walbro 255LPH Uprated Fuel Pump - HKS Fuel Cut Defender - Race Logic Traction Control - Whifbitz 3" Full Stainless Steel Exhaust - Whifbitz 3" Full Stainless Steel Decat Pipes - Whifbitz Over Boost Restrictor Ring - 18" Lexus GS300 Alloys - UK Spec Front Calipers - Chris Wilson Stainless Caliper Pistons - Full Burgendy Leather (£2K receipt) - Alpine Touch Screen DVD - OEM Toyota Side Skirts - UK Supra Bonnet Vent - Rear Spats - Clear Side Repeaters - Polished Brake Reservoir Cover - Reverse Sensors Good bits: It’s ready to enjoy. It’s in great condition with solid bodywork and subframe, no rot and rusting of arches etc. Best colour option in my opinion. It’s has 2 UK owners (both mature club members). The odometer is all in miles not mixed Kilometers/Miles like most. Comes with every MOT since the car has been in the UK and import certificates verifying the cars mileage when imported. All spares - fluids, original exhaust, decats, spare steering wheel, spare centre console, spare rear alloy & new tyre etc. would come with the sale. Bad bits: Turns too many heads, so if you’re a little shy maybe not the car for you. A few bits I can think of is:- The drivers electric seat has stopped moving forwards/backwards. Just in the middle of fixing this with the replacement of the worm gears. Obviously the bodywork might have the odd mark as it is 21 years old - very light scratches on the roof (only seen in certain lights/angles), one scratch on the rear bumper (where the bumper curves underneath so difficult to see) and one of the side skirts could do with a small area repainting due to a hairline crack in the paint.

r2ck_p Posted January 31, 2017 Author Share Posted January 31, 2017 Lovely car OEM side skirts by the way Cheers pal. I thought they are OEM side skirts but Toyota Racing Developments (TRD) ones? Also there is a TRD badge on them. Anyone got any more input on this so I can amend my advert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carbon_Bullet Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 If this is still available in 4-5 months I'll most probs take it. Pretty much the car I'm looking for. Stock facelift with subtle mods! I like it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stock facelift with subtle mods! I like it Carbon_Bullet - The price might of increased by then as they just keep increasing in value. As per a few PM's, I have now attached some additional images of the car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraAyf Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 That's a fantastic looking Supra. I would even suggest that it's one of the nicest Supes that Ive seen posted here for a good while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mika Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Really nice looking very clean car indeed. You will regret if you sell it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, only thing even slightly letting it down are the Lexus rim centre caps not being diamond cut to match. With stock prefacelift silver ones asking £10K (that are very unlikely to have been serviced anywhere close to this one) it's not even that bad a price.

r2ck_p Posted January 31, 2017 Author Share Posted January 31, 2017 Hi guys, the PM's and offers received already in just 1 day has been overwhelming and made me really think about if I should sell or keep her for a few more years and put her in to storage. Having spoken to a few members it looks like I listed the car below its market value considering its condition and history and I need a couple of weeks to re-think what I would like to do. I would really hate it if I was to regret selling once a deal is done. I will report back soon, in the meantime I have removed the price from the advert.

Scooter Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 I don't blame you for reconsidering, there was a time you could get back into ownership in a year or two's time fairly easily and perhaps even for less money, it seems those days are definitely gone and especially so for getting back into a known good well looked after one. It would have been interesting to see what it would have gone for, did you get an asking price offer at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooter Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 I took it as he's rethinking the whole selling thing in general. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spunkmeyer Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 I seem to remember another member being slated for doing similar on parts, thought a price was a price? Glws. I don't think it is: 1) a relevant comparison. That was a virtual handshake that had already been agreed before the sale was pulled to re list a CAR PART at a higher price. This is a way more important a decision than selling a second hand part on a forum. And I don't expect any sort of sale has been agreed here and no one agrees a CAR sale on a handshake? it would need a deposit and receipt for that argument to stand! 2) no one else's business other than the OP what he wishes to do with his sale. Whether that is on advice he's received in private he does up his price. Or whether he keeps it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

r2ck_p Posted February 1, 2017 Author Share Posted February 1, 2017 I seem to remember another member being slated for doing similar on parts, thought a price was a price? Glws. Hi chaps, the opening line of my post states "I have a new company car arriving this week and I am either planning to sell my Supra or put her in to storage for a few years." Therefore as you can see I am outlining my intentions from day 1. No offers has been accepted or agreed, only pitches made by interested parties who either wanted to buy her or come to view her. I have been upfront with everyone I have spoken with about me re-thinking the whole thing yesterday so no one has been left in the dark. Like I said, once I have decided to sell or keep in the next week or two I will update this post. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
