monkey3 Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 I'm getting really scared now. It seems that a lot of people are now getting rid of their supras... why? I've just bought mine and it seems that the *rse has dropped out of the supra market. why? How much would a very low mileage (42k); j-spec; dec '96; rz-s; facelift; 6spd; TT set you back? I just need some reassurance I guess, but I'm afraid I'm not gonna get it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Terry S Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 I'm sure it'll all be ok in the spring. Yeah the whole car market is depressed, and the flood of imports dont help, but they must be getting cheap enough now that its not worth importing them!

I just need some reassurance I guess, but I'm afraid I'm not gonna get it Why worry about the sale price when you've only just bought the car? With a few notable exceptions, (Bugattis and other exotica) cars are never really thought of as sound investments. Don't worry what it's worth, just get out there, drive it and have fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarkey Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 I've just bought mine and it seems that the *rse has dropped out of the supra market. why? Petrol prices & High insurance ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chilli Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 yeah don't worry about it and also don't sell it right now, Winter is the worst time for sports cars or any sort anyway, check the price next spring/summer and it may have bounced back a bit - hopefully Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarkey Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 No change there then. But a year ago it wasn't 98p a litre for Optimax. Car insurance has always been high. One reason could be people are just don't want to pay high prices to drive a fast 10yr old car anymore. Hence the flood of 2nd hand cars - and as competition of sellers increase ... the selling price decreases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkey3 Posted November 9, 2005 Author Share Posted November 9, 2005 i wasn't thinking of selling it at all. Like you all say, just got it - enjoy it. but I just paid for a mint 1 and it seems like as soon as I parted with the cash, the prices dropped.

piehound Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 mines only cheap cos i got a great deal on it and want my money back and i have another car on my drive anyway, so i guess i bought in haste as it was such a good deal, although now looking back i dont need the soop but if it dont sell it dont sell at what i paid im sure its worth plenty more or at least the same even in 2 years if it dont get bumped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soonto_HAS_soop Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 The 6 speeds still demand a premium, and the facelifts add a bit more also, plus you have got the rare non vvti facelift 6 speed like mine. If you want to sell for a lot of money, then spend some money for a big single conversion as they go for even more money with the right mods. But as with anything, it's only worth what someone is willing to spend on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dangerous brain Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 Aerotops are supposedly strong value holders. Paid £14k for mine, put new tyres and brakes on it and various other service items to the tune of £2k and I can't even get £11.5 for it now less than a year and 9k miles later.

monkey3 Posted November 10, 2005 Author Share Posted November 10, 2005 Well it's not going anywhere just yet anyway. I guess it's not only me in this situation anyway, so that does make me feel a bit better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Whiffin Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 I personally dont think the prices have changed much, I'm still selling cars for about the same price I was 5 years ago...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkey3 Posted November 10, 2005 Author Share Posted November 10, 2005 So how much would you expect one like mine to go for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Whiffin Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 Dont know, all the cars I sell are normally pre-94 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conrad Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 So how much would you expect one like mine to go for? Not been looking at Sup's this new, a little out my price range. I'd guess between 10 - 12k depending on condition/colour/ mods etc. I saw a '96 facelift gun metal grey 6 spd a few weeks ago in the trader for 11k. It didn't sell so was reduced a whole grand two weeks later. That's not to say this one was in good nic etc... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes - but you have patience and probably the luxury of the money spare in your business. Given enough time *someone* will come along and spend the money for the right car. From your rep you have the right cars too of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
