zaheer0027 Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 Good day I am planning a trip to the uk within the next 2 months. The plan is to purchase a few supras. I will need to store them as they will be for investment. Obviously I do not want to spend a fortune in storage. Can anyone point me in the right direction ? Someone who is easy on the wallet but also reliable. Many thanks. Zaheer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last thing you want to do is store them in a cold damp place and invite rust !! It's not going to be cheap though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j_jza80 Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 Depending on what sort of Supras you're considering, you may well end up paying more for storage and insurance than they would gain in value. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyson Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 Depending on what sort of Supras you're considering, you may well end up paying more for storage and insurance than they would gain in value. Good point, first place is over £1400 a year and the the second is nearly £1700 !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 Really depends where the values go if its purely based on an investment reason 5 years storage is going to be upwards of £7000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zaheer0027 Posted March 8, 2017 Author Share Posted March 8, 2017 Are you getting the top secret one? You could leave it with me.. Lol It was an option but couldn't settle on a price. I am looking at an aero for sale on here and another white aero on eBay but depends if the sellers will play ball. I'd like to buy both ideally.

zaheer0027 Posted March 8, 2017 Author Share Posted March 8, 2017 Hmm he's already dropped if a good few grand, bet that didn't go down well. Not really bothered. I have to be realistic. If I was living in the uk then I would jump at it but there are other factors for me to consider. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T2 MSW Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 Not really a ridiculous low offer though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tooquicktostop Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 Not really a ridiculous low offer though The car cost me 25K, the car has had a full bare metal respray and is Mint, the £23K might have been tempting if I was desperate but I am willing to wait, its a marmite car so the right buyer will be harder to find JM value the car at £30K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rider Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 I used to store cars in our massive 0.4 acre footprint barn for £100 a month on the basis of individual car and self insured against loss and damage. Got rid of the last stored car two years ago that was here for 17 years. Lots of cats running the barn (a couple of good ratters amongst them to) so there has never been a rodent issue with the cars which is always a possible problem with barn storage. with my own classic car collection, what wont fit in the garage gets parked in the barn. So there will be your 'proper' car storage at around £200 a month (which may include insurance?) or your barn storage for considerably less.

Having your car advertised for £23k and getting offers of £15k is what I call ridiculous offers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skippyboyo1 Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 its not a good investment if your going to spend your profit on storage, if you cant store for free id just not bother myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampy442 Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 If you're buying several Supras Im sure you can afford storage Re the Top Secret car, its not the sellers concern you have to pay export fees etc. Thats entirely your responsibility Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
