TazUK Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 Reluctantly it's time to sell my beloved baby as I just don't seem to have the time to spend with her these days and the loan payments are now needed to buy a house. This is a 1998R VVTi Facelift Manual TT Supra imported by JIC in July 2003. I bought the car in Feb 2004. The car has currently done approx. 41.5k miles. This car features the very special 'Shark' nosecone that JIC added to only a few cars, and it gets no end of attention from people. Other than the nosecone, the car has been modified as follows. 18" Blitz Technospeed Z1 Wheels with Goodyear Eagle F1 tyres. CW Decat pipes CW Custom Suspension (awesome) HKS Hyper Silent Exhaust Toyota Side Spats and Skirts APEXi Boost and Oil Temp Gauge in A-Pillar pod. Bee-R Rev Limiter RaceLogic Traction Control with Launch Control Clifford C650 Alarm with Intellistart Alpine CDA-9833R CD/MP3 Player Blue LED Dash conversion (courtesy of Emin) TRL FCD and Delimited Apart from some minor curbing to the wheels (not me) this car is in great condition. This car has been properly serviced by a variety of the friendly garages of members on here and all work carried out since I got the car has been of superb quality from the likes of Chris Wilson, Matt Harwood, etc... The best servicing parts used, like CW Fast Road pads, IK24 plugs, etc... Tax and MOT until June 2006. Please PM me any reasonable offers. Now you'll have to excuse me while I go off and cry over my pending loss. :cry: Will go in Autotrader end of next week if I can't find a buyer from here. And I'll try and attach some pictures when I get home tonight but here's a quick pic for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TazUK Posted January 22, 2006 Author Share Posted January 22, 2006 Cheers, It was all the better after getting your suspension on! I remember that car, she's a belter. Nice colour! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fire148 Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 Hi Taz, Can you post up some more detailed pics so we can decide if we want to drive down to you to have a closer look. Can you also PM me with a price ? (Unless you want to post it up here ?) Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supragal Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 Do you have a ballpark of what you want for it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TazUK Posted January 27, 2006 Author Share Posted January 27, 2006 Here are some more pics Also, I'm getting a lot of people asking for an idea of price, which I guess is fair. Luckily for me, I have time on my hand and I don't really need to sell the car until about May so I can afford to hold out for a fair (given the current market) price. Some of the people on here have suggested that car is worth a good amount of money, however, given the climate I have to be reasonable with the sort of price I'm looking at. With that in mind, I will be putting it in Autotrader soon for 16k. I'd prefer to sell it to someone on here as I feel it is more likely to go to someone who will care for it. There has already been a good amount of interest on the car and I don't really want to part with it for silly money just because someone 'heard of some guy who sold an NA for 3k, so yours can't be that much more expensive'. This is a lovely car with 'tasteful' mods. I say 'tasteful' because the wheels seem to be a bit of a marmite thing. You either love them or hate them. Hope this gives people more of an idea about the car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TazUK Posted January 27, 2006 Author Share Posted January 27, 2006 Cheers, I'll be sorry to see her go, but I hope that within a couple of years I'll be getting another, or maybe a MkV!! All the best with the sale bud Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire148 Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 Why not remove some of the tasteful mods to open up your potential buyers - remove the eyelid things, and put a set of stock 17's on. Then you can offer the wheels elsewhere to someone with similar taste ? 16k sounds a fair price, and I hope you get it .. I have sold loads of cars, so if you need any help then let me know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
