Guest JonathanD Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 NOW SOLD!! NOW SOLD!! NOW SOLD!! NOW SOLD!! NOW SOLD!! NOW SOLD!! NOW SOLD!! NOW SOLD!! NOW SOLD!! Hi all, Time has come to sell my much loved UK TT Supra. I normally have my cars 1 - 2 years cos I get bored, but I've had this for the past 7 years now, its such a great car! But with a house extension project looming and more business miles to do these days, I've just defected to the Scooby camp, and so really the Supra has to go. Details: Not much to say really as its absolutely bog standard UK spec! It has been colour keyed all round, which makes it look much nicer (i.e. no black sills or wheel arches). Better (Pioneer) CD/radio - great sound Nice number plate also - probably worth £500+ on its own Condition: Only 73,000 miles (38,000 in the last 7 years) I don't know where good condition leads to mint really, but I'd say its close to mint. A few really small stone chips here and there, but none serious Wheels (standard 17") are great, recently refurbished Interior is excellent, some faint lines on the (beige) leather, but it looks great, carpets excellent One cigarette burn on the rear seat (a Connolly man was supposed to turn up a while ago and do this, but didn't!) History: Full Toyota service history from new (Pinewood and TW Hawkins) All stamps and reciepts available Work done in the last couple of years includes: front discs, battery, air-con condensor (expensive!), radiator, cam belt, plugs etc. New tyres - Toyo Proxes in the last year (less than 5,000 miles ago) Will probably need a clutch in the next 5 - 10,000 miles, and rear discs getting low Overall: That's it really! I think looking at prices of UK manual cars, £12,500 seems fair. So no silly offers please, and no part exchanges either, my drive is already too full! I'm not desparate to sell and am happy to keep it rather than let it go for a song. But a great car begging to go to an enthuiast. I can't see how this will drop in value if kept in good condition, and not too many miles, so a good long term car.

dangerous brain Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 I wouldn't have admitted to defecting scoobwards in here. I know the old UK 6 speed is rare with low miles but £12.5k rare? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fat_controller Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 I wouldn't have admitted to defecting scoobwards in here. I know the old UK 6 speed is rare with low miles but £12.5k rare? true, graham s's was pretty standard and was a black uk manual with low miles and he let that go for 10k, a car is worth whatever some1 is willing to pay though. good luck with the sale and look forward to pics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vvteye Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 So you've had the Supe for 7 years and this is your first post? Nice use of the forum buddy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
francis Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 Low milage UK TT6 which doesn't sound like it's been boosted, easily worth the money, the only thing that might hold it back is the colour, but I think white looks great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trig Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 the only thing that might hold it back is the colour, but I think white looks great! White is easily my favorite colour now, even before black!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miko_supra Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 full service history and low miles...i think its worth the price. i'd be very tempted if it was black Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Walker Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 So you've had the Supe for 7 years and this is your first post? Nice use of the forum buddy I bet he's probably had the most reliable car here then Gaz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbourner Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 Sounds like an amazing car to me, can't be many like that around now!! I'd rather buy a cheap j-spec for nowt but if people want perfection they'll pay that much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milocoon Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 Way too expensive nearer £8000 if it`s as described, before someone else tells you and where are the pictures. If you look in the 4 sales there are plenty of single turbos in the same price range you are after IMHO ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 ^ Are there plenty of single turbos that actually run half decent? Not everyone wants a single turbo either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pig Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 Price seems fine to me. would suggest putting a new clutch in to demand that. If you hold out a buyer will apear..... uk manuals are so so so rare now people will pay a premium Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wkdtime Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 Too pricey me thinks, £10k Tops....then again if someone wants it, they will pay that premium. Not so long ago I had mine up for sale 1994 SPGT67 6 Speed Black with 58k Miles with all supporting mods and some sexy 19" CR's (wheels just as rare as UK Supe's) for 13k....(hence why i think it's pricey)....but I soon saw sense and decided to keep it. Good luck with the sale, it seem's like a beautifull example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JonathanD Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 Guys, many thanks for the comments, I appreciate it. I've now added a set of pictures to My Garage, so take a look and see what you think. And not a Scooby in sight!! Regarding the colour I never actually wanted a white one, but bought mine as soon as I saw it, its was in such great nick. But having done the colour keying, I think it really works well in white - certainly a great summer car! My favourite colour is storm blue i think, but they seem to be very rare. Kind regards, Jonathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 The car looks mint,the seller has been thouroughly honest by the sounds of his description. I am sure someone will pay the asking price as this car is as rare as rocking horse shit. Good luck with the sale mate:thumbs: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merckx Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 The pics were well worth waiting for. It's so nice to see a car that hasn't been messed with. Lovely condition! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisavila100 Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 Nice car mate! As said, this is a very rare car! just like mine:) I was thinking of selling, and would have put it up for 12.5/13k Trust me if someone wants a super rare stock example then they will pay good money for one! There must be no more than 200 ish(if that) manuals left in the country and how many of them have sub 75k on them? only a few im sure! So stick to you price, im sure you'll sell it if don't mind a little wait! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisavila100 Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 apparently there was only 100 made and less than 50 left (manuals) WOW /vbb/images/smilies/bbcode_shock.gif If thats right then these uk manuals are near non existant! Hold out for your asking price mate;) I know you can buy a pretty sorted single for this money,but and this is the reason i decided to keep mine, These are awsome cars regardless of jap/uk/single but to own such a great car and to know only 50 ish other people own the same spec as you.... well it just makes it that much more desirable! But agree the right person needs to come along, which could mean a long wait! Good luck mate.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jevansio Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 The 'right' person will pay £12k, at least you're gonna get somebody who respects the car for what it is, you're not goning to get somebody looking for a cheap Supra to thrash about for a year. Lovely example, I'd hold out as I think there'll be someone (or many people) for who that is the ideal car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
