JasonR24 Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 (edited) Hi all, Please see the below for sale thread. I haven’t posted much the last year or so but I have been to forum events (back when we could). The car is a long standing forum car. Being owned by Abz before me and myself who has been a member since 2012. Car is very clean and those who have seen it know that. The car has wanted for nothing in my ownership and I’ve always used the best parts. It really was a passion for me. It’s just a shame that’s gone now and I want to move onto other things which I never thought I’d say. I’m certain who we comes to see the car first will buy it, it really is that clean and has full folder of history. Also just to add this car has always been garaged and the engine and gearbox are warrantied till the end of the year. here is my for sale ad on auto trader: https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202107024557695 there is a link to a video walkaround of the car on there too, and my car thread on the forum: being the forum I appreciate your comments and obviously I would be open to lowering the price to a forum member.

mplavery Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 It does seem high but I haven’t a clue what the UK market is and you obviously done your homework about how much a new import would cost these days which will always be a good ball park figure I really do hope you sell it as like most us of do … it only feels like yesterday TT6 we’re £30k i was offered £40k few months back which I really had to think about … if yours sells.. I’m bloody glad I kept it lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrGRT Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 Good luck with the sale. Cars looks really nice but I think because it is a converted car that £55k is too much, in usd that will be 77k usd, landed over there 80k usd for a RHD converted car on stock twin turbos. I wish I am wrong though. Engine bay photos will be good too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Appreciate what you are saying about price but I don’t think there are any cheaper ones available even to import that are genuine or converted. I think it’s fair but like I said for a forum member I’m willing to negotiate the price. Cheers 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supra2jze Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 I think the way the markets going, £50/55k is not out the question. Desirable colour, hang tight you may just get an overseas buyer. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celicasaur Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 I don't get why you're even gingerly trying to justify the price - high or low, does anybody's opinion really matter? It's a fantastic example and looks to be mighty cherished. Converted or not, the overall standard of the car is stunning and it has a forged motor....in my book, that counts for a lot. Sit tight, it'll sell for near enough what you're asking for. You've pretty much said that £50k is what you'll take for it only snag will be now that these cars are beyond the realm of a simple unsecured bank loan of around £35k that most banks will lend via a simple online application, the buyer pool will be smaller in size and you/we might have to consider cash + a part ex'ed Evo with an imminent ring land failure or something. Either that or a trader bloke from Birmingham or Wycombe who will offer you "£32k cash today!" P.S. nice wheels 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the price is reasonable but I’ve had some comments on Facebook that weren’t too respectful so thought I’d simply explain myself to the forum as I’ve not seen many TT6s for sale for a long time and most people on the forum are able to have that conversation about price and give their reasoning which is great (unlike Facebook lol) The car really is a great example and I’m sure the first serious buyer to come see it will take it. Less of a risk than an import as it’s already here to inspect to your hearts content. I get what you’re saying about the price bracket of the cars moving into a different territory now. The higher the price, the smaller the pool of buyers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celicasaur Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 Screw Facebook people there moan about S14's going for 10-12k, let alone a Supra for 5 times that. You did the right thing by advertising on Autotrader. A serious buyer will find the ad and in my experience, Autotrader is where most serious buyers go to. eBay is all too easy for pot-shotters to hide behind a quick "£2k cash now" message or people to offer their cars as part ex's (usually home-based 'traders'). 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rider Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 (edited) The price is the price and people can either buy at that or indeed any price or not buy. I recon its the auctions and top end importers (who will have to back any car with consumer guarantees or a warranty) that are setting the market price and I'm not aware of any factory original TT6 jspec car that has sold at auction in the UK yet for near to a £50k hammer price; though dealers are regularly listing at that price level. Dealer backup and warranty has to be worth something on an old and very expensive car to fix. If you want to test the market, pitch it into a classic car auction with a reserve price. You'll find out the real market price that way and avoid any tyre kickers on the way. Edited August 24, 2021 by rider (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No problem at all. Hopefully that’s set the standard for Supras now which tbh was kind of already set by the parts and scarcity. It is going to Ireland so leaving the U.K. but will be sitting along a R34 GTR which is good news Edited September 2, 2021 by JasonR24 (see edit history) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers mate. I’m sad to see it go because it has a lot of great memories but it’s time to move on. in my opinion this is pretty evident that condition is the prime motivator as it was for me. It’s good to see supras hitting such value now as they are a great car 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JasonR24 Posted September 2, 2021 Author Share Posted September 2, 2021 (edited) I’ve currently got a deposit down on a lotus emira and I’m really tempted to stick with it but obviously until I’ve seen it in the metal later in this month and test driven it in February I won’t know 100%. I do know for sure it’s the only car that’s appealed to me instantly for the first time in a long time! ive got an mx5 for the time being to keep me entertained which is pretty much a track car at this point lol Edited September 2, 2021 by JasonR24 (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
