rider Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 Probably a tad expensive for what it is but it is unique being, apparently, the only factory purple Supra MkIV. No accidents, no colour changes and HPI clear. TOYOTA SUPRA RZ TWIN TURBO 2JZ 6 SPEED MANUAL GETRAG V160 JDM 1997 PURPLE Looks like sellers from a few recent ads now believe that the £35k Supra is the new norm. I don't think it is, just yet anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_Shane_ Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 Has a JDM TT6 sold for over 30k yet in the UK ? I was offered 32k for mine and refused. These are only going up in value. I say sell your car for whatever asking price you want mate. Anyone who does not want to buy it, no problem, go elsewhere and purchase one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Style Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 (edited) MP2 is a Nissan colour so I doubt it's factory. Edited August 12, 2019 by Style (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noz Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 Not factory colour with that engine bay. Blimey. Lovely lovely colour though. Love the wheels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheefa Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 The state of those rear seats. They look scuffed to hell. Price is far too high more like a £30k car tops. Colour looks lovely though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooter Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 Has a JDM TT6 sold for over 30k yet in the UK ? Been a couple but I think there are very few active buyers for Supra's and so it's a waiting game or the car needs to be mint or just be the right colour spec to get the big money. http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?354130-my-1st-Supra!-Prices-Mods-and-underseal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Verruca Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 I went to see this one yesterday. Stem seals need replacing, white smoke on start and when warm. Also the body needs some tlc. His friend had some midnight purple left over from an R33 re-spray - so he took the leftovers. Unfortunately now its flaking and cracking in places. Could be a great car with some work, but the asking price is waaaay too high. Might be on for a while before he re-adjusts. Lush rims... I'm new btw, this is my first post as a member.

HOLLA Indeed I think at those prices it needs to be mint or close to? £15-20K more just to change gear and as you are finding lots aren't exactly restored/very clean.

Verruca Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 White smoke ? stem seals leaking should be oil burning Yeah good point.. Does that mean this could be pointing to a more expensive issue? Someone on this forum had to do near enough a full re-build to resolve his coolant bleeding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would definitely need looking at for sure, no way would i pay top dollar unless the car was 100% fault free It could of been condensation in the exhaust but that should stop after a few minutes and i'd really expect that on a cold day too If they haven't got proof of quite a few parts being replaced then it could soon need a lot of cash throwing at it Edited August 12, 2019 by Dnk (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also don't understand why he put "no colour changes" in his advert when this Supra clearly used to be grey. Disappointing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooter Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 Mine is on ebay £3K less than the other Auto TT's and half (or more) the price of the manuals and I've had no offers over the weekend or even any enquiries that last more than two messages, one being a "£10K and I'll pick it up tomorrow" one. Plain silver and auto so I just think that active buyers are very few and far between? The manual sellers all seem to have grouped together at the same price and are seemingly sticking to their guns!! Meanwhile in the states for the price of mine and more folks are picking up very tatty ones and/or na's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampy442 Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 And therein lies the problem, doesn't matter what you see cars advertised for, how many actually sell? Hardly any. As an owner its great to see wholly unrealistic values thrown around but if you want to sell the true value comes out. I sold my 98 TT auto for 16 grand, everyone said it was too cheap, but it sold in less than a week. So who's right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So there almost hitting 40k !!!! That’s tempting lol.

Scooter Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 There is no right and wrong really. Yours sold on price alone what I mean is that it was deemed such a good price for the age and condition that it sounds like it was all agreed almost without viewing. You only need a buyer looking specifically for black and they are going to realise that few come up, it looks good let's pounce! Same as the guy after the Jewel green colour he paid over the general odds but was happy and I don't believe would have looked at a silver one at almost any price? Selling in less than a week could mean you haven't maximised the sale or that you hit it just right or even that you were lucky a buyer was looking at that particular time but nothing wrong in getting what you are happy with, selling is a pain at the best of times. It's only a few days (after my ebay BIN fiasco) mine has been up as a classified ad so we'll see if there is any appetite for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rider Posted August 12, 2019 Author Share Posted August 12, 2019 I've spent about £9k on new Toyota bits, got a 21 year service history, all MOT certificates and a big box file of whatever and I'd probably still be pitching at no more than £30k. I can see fresh imports with dealer backing can make £35k regularly these days but the market isn't anywhere close to there yet for your private sale, by the way I've got loads of bad bits and very little history Supras.

kslb Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 (edited) I am never selling but happy to see all the high numbers floating about, had mine for 16 years, wife’s had hers for 12 years both tt6 (one single now) one silver one black vvti. My wife said she was going to sell hers a few years back and was a little bit gutted when it sold so quick but was pleased when she found out that I was the buyer! They are both staying in the family! We met through this club at a local meet and now married with a 10 year old and an 8 year old. Let’s all keep them then at least I will know a few people if I ever get to a meet again!

Ric Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 i dropped him a message. Turns out it was silver but resprayed in Japan so it's on the logbook as no colour changes. Hes edited the ad now i think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hes edited the ad now i think Strange, when I viewed this car he said that his mate had left over midnight purple from an R33 respray. So the respray couldnt have been done before importing...
