supra666 Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 Most of you will have already seen this Supra for sale here by member Crash Bandicoot who is a nice guy with another amazing Supra, he even took me out in it:) I bought it from him the view to keep it, however circumstance's have changed real quick, we have been given the go ahead to self build our own house and sadly this beauty has to go Make: Toyota Model: Supra MK4 RZ-S VVTI TT Automatic Factory colour White code 040 Super White Year: Built March 1999 at the Kanto Auto Works Plant Ltd (one of 813 built in 1999) Facelift: Yes Original Sequential Twin Turbo set up Mileage: 30,065 (May increase slightly) MOT ends: 02/08/2020 Service history: full service history (mainly from Japan with Japanese stamps) all books and various other receipts. Car's location: Cornwall MOT August 2020 V5 in my name Tax Rate £265 per year New 19” alloy Wheels/Tyres, Front tyres 235 35 19 Avon's, Rear Tyres Uniroyal 275 35 19 HKS induction kit HKS SQBV HKS Coilover adjustable suspension Recaro reclinable front seats with supra rails Titanium Exhaust Brand new Drilled and Grooved Discs all round along with new pads 2 Keys Original stereo fitted and aerial works Folding wing mirrors (That work) A/C Good bits VERY low Mileage of 30065 which may increase slightly, cleanest stock interior I’ve seen in a supra, mostly stock car. Exterior is very clean also. Usual facelift refinements of facelift front and rear lights, black leather headlining and black carpets/immaculate. Bad bits: The front bumper has a few very slight marks/stone chips, and the exhaust is a cat back titanium system with second decat (also titanium), the end can has some dents and the second Decat has been flattened. Easy to replace or worthwhile having fixed as it cost a pretty penny for sure. Still works as it should. Description: The supra itself is very clean inside and out, exactly what you’d expect of the year and mileage, it's not long been registered in the UK having been sat in a storage facility of an import company. A full service has been carried out in September 2019 Fuchs titan pro s oil, genuine Toyota oil filter Genuine Toyota fuel filter New Bosch 044 fuel Pump NGK iridium spark plugs Gearbox oil changed Differential oil changed Coolant change Brake Fluid While changing the plugs the cambelt was inspected, I was told that it had been changed quite recently in the U.K. the condition of it confirms this and I felt no need to have it done again. I have photos of it with the cover off and can take it off again if any prospective buyer would like to see. The majority of the paperwork that came with the car is Japanese, with the original service book also having all relevant service stamps in Japanese. Which In my ownership of Supras is another rarity. I have all the receipts of the service parts that have been recently replaced. It has the “supra” embossed passenger air bag and genuine TRD gauge cluster, the Recaro seats are in mint condition and recline, slide and have a leg extender, lovely suited seats these. The boot luggage cover is in place also. It has the standard side mount intercooler and oem intercooler pipework throughout in very good condition. It has the active front spoiler motor and everything in place but will need an active lip (the spoiler piece itself) fitted as it did not come with one. I believe it has had gauges fitted in its past life in Japan as there is a coolant temp sensor fitted in-line on the front radiator pipe with wiring going into the cabin, this can be easily hooked up to new gauge, or removed with a new rad pipe to go back to the original dash displayed temp gauge, which works just fine. So all in all, a very sought after genuine low mileage, well spec’d, very clean supra that will be sure to maintain and grow in value as the years go on. A very good future investment for someone who can drive it here and there, not needing to worry too much about the mileage clocking up. It took me a while to find a Supra in this condition, and its absolutely amazing inside and out and underneath. Please don't ask for lots of pictures then make a ridiculous offer, or make an offer then if I accept the offer, go silent on me, I really have 0 time for these sort of emails. If you do not have the funds please don't waste my time. I'm prepared to assist buyers here and overseas if necessary, car will only be released upon receipt of funds. Any questions please feel free to ask. Price £24000 ono Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
curious Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 (edited) Hi, shame you have to sell it so soon after buying it. Was interested in buying this originally as it was advertised as a low millage example but was unable to verify the millage, maybe you were able to ? The following information is based on the millages taken from UK MOT and Japanese service records as pictured. 15-05-2011 / 3170 km / Japan service 25-09-2011 / 12063 km / Japan service 12-04-2012 / 18445 km / Japan service 2013 / Missing 12-03-2014 / 43540 km / Japan Service 2015 / Missing 20-03-2016 / 3548 km / Japan service 03-08-2019 / 29789 km / UK MOT 20-10-2019 / 29879 km / UK Sale 15-01-2020 / 30065 km / UK Sale Going by the above data the supra covered 14513 km/year between 05/2011 - 03/2014 on average. So may have been closer to 58000 km in the missing 2015 Japanese service record ? The millage on the Japanese service for 20-03-2016 is unclear, but the first 2 are 35 making it 3548 km. Maybe this is when the TRD Speedo was fitted so the millage would have started from Zero on the New TRD cluster. So it looks like there is another 50-60K km of additional millage for the original speedo to add to the 30k km on the TRD speedo thus making it a possible 90k km Would be great if you have any additional paperwork to verify the current advertised millage of 30k as this is contradicted by the Japanese service record ?

rider Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Thankfully, on any 20+ year old car mileage is but a number on a LED display unless it has a fully stamped authentic (believable) service history. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David P Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 You haven't had it long enough to realise that the buttons on the steering wheel dictate that it's not an automatic, but a Tiptronic, which makes it worth a few bob more? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind regards The miles when it was MOT'd in the UK is miles not KM. Also the last stamp in Japanese is 43540 km which makes it 27029 miles this ties in with the paperwork I have. I'm not worried about 2015 as it probably wasn't due a service due to being in storage etc. As for the service in Japan 20/3/16 that shows 3548 km this is obviously an error on their behalf. To be honest, I know mileage always causes concerns for a lot of people, and me to a certain degree, the condition of this Supra 99.9% makes me believe it is genuine and that's why I bought it. Even my local Audi garage have entered different mileages on the MOT for my Audi. Either way I Love this Supra, just saddened that I have to sell it.

Agreed, more than likely 43548km (8km since last service) - which is possible if stored. Nothing wrong with that mileage at all. People need to use their heads lol In regards to the 2011-2014 mileage. It's possible that they either lost the service record inbetween, or serviced it themselves. 14km/year can easily be done on some Japanese motorway miles Also: i'd buy on condition rather than mileage. Especially on these engines. Some Supras on high mileage are immaculate and well looked after. Some lower mileage Supras i've seen are dogs Edited January 17, 2020 by tayr (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m4dsup Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 I dont suppose you would consider selling the seats would you? I can't imagine stock seats changing the value or saleability of the car at all. Particularly with how everyone seems to want everything OEM these days.

I'm going to leave them in thanks, I've had lots of people asking to buy them, along with alot of small minded people slating the car as it's an Auto and not a 6 speed ^ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
