ShawnPreece Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 Hi guys im potentially looking at buying an aerotop roof and have found a guy that has one spare but neither of us has an idea of how much it would be worth to speak about a price so he asked me if I would ask on here to see what you guys think... Plus point of the value would be the rarity of the item as not many come up for sale and also that it seems the fitment is good Negative sides of the value would be the condition as the paintwork is very untidy and has a few dings and uneven surface imperfections and is missing one of the 4 corner bolts to hold it down Pics are below but thanks in advance for any input Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheefa Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 £150-£200 as a stab. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samdale Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 £150-200 ish was my first thought too. You could also factor into the mix that although rare, who actually wants to buy one? Demand is hardly high for them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Bullitt Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 Prices above seem fair taking into consideration the cost in pulling the dent out, respraying and buying completely new seals if you want to have it in the best possible condition.

Burna Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 That's more than a ding in that one photo! As Sam said, just because they are rare, doesn't automatically mean they are in demand and worth anything. If I was in your position and after one, that one would only be worth paying £50 to £75 for me. Going to need some money throwing at it to make it usable.

I would check that dent can actually be pushed/pulled out first, seems too close to the edge to me, but I'm no expert. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Massey Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 I sold my old one in pretty much perfect condition for £450 and that was several years ago. Doesn't matter if its rare or not, these cost £1K for the just the outer shell and I have seen quite a few people look for one over the years.

SPG Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 Try £100-£200 and see if he’ll sell. Shame about the dent but I’m sure you’d be having it painted etc anyhow. What actually happened you yours Shawn? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShawnPreece Posted June 13, 2018 Author Share Posted June 13, 2018 Thanks for your opinions guys, after feeding back the spoke about values he said he had a rough figure of £500 as a bottom line in his mind before asking me to find this out so by time I would need to get it tidied up and painted I think it wouldn't really be cost effective for me to go for it and will wait for another to come up What actually happened you yours Shawn? It kind of accidentally got run over and doesn't fit so well now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraTRD_MK4 Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 Damn mate. Sorry to see that. Were you the one who posted another post referring to Brian aka Paul Walker's move of jacking the aero top off with a single push or did this happen to someone else as well recently? Could a panel beating shop not pull those dents out? I have seen a shop local to me repair a roof on a Supra here without body filler. But it has a lot of tiny dings in it so guess they will only use a thin layer of body filler to repair it. Hope you come right with finding another Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been to see a couple of bodyshops and the prices they are quoting id rather get one thats structurally sound and not been repaired as the quotes for repairing are quite high Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is dreaming in that condition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike33 Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 I sold my white one to me keron for 100 roughly and it was mint! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evinX Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 Whifbitz had a silver roof ages ago for 300 ish, worth a message. But holy Fuge mate! thats some fast and furious business there. Hope you get a roof sorted, may want to look at our European friends for some help, https://jza80.de/phpBB/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burna Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 But did you save Dom from the truck? Credit to Trick for the joke Sorry x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrickTT Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 (edited) As everyone has said, they are hard to value because they almost never come up for sale. Since you obviously need one though I would start with a figure of £600 - £700 for a mint one and then work back from that with a quote from a bodyshop to get the blue one fixed. New bolts and seals are still (until recently at least) available from toyota and arent that expensive. eta. As long as the frame is sound there is no reason a good panel beater couldnt fabricate a new skin for yours Edited June 13, 2018 by TrickTT (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chazuk Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 it's worth easily £500 in that condition they never come up for sale , the trim on the underside alone is over £200 from Toyota , plus the bolts etc ,I bought a black tt aero that had the bonnet come up and dented the roof a new bare shell aero roof from Toyota last time I looked was £1100 time you add trim and bolts it was on for £1600 so I replaced it with a carbon one in the end as was only selling the car but actually the carbon one fitted great didn't leak either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
