nick_karkie Posted August 26, 2007 Share Posted August 26, 2007 Wondering what this thread title is doing in the new members section? Well, just flew over from England to Spain and bought my supra today. It's a 98 VVTi Auto in Quicksilver with 27,000 miles,bought it for £10,500, it is stunning. However, going throught the documents today I see the original advert of the car via JIC. It turns out that this is the very first supra I drove back in 2002. I went to JIC after becoming hooked by the fast and the furious haha:p, I remember putting a deposit on a supra they had which cost around £17,000. He then let me drive this other supra that had 11,000km on the clock and was an auto without a spoiler. It cost £25,495. It turns out that this is the car I bought today. £15,000 depreciation in 5 years for a car that has only done another 20k miles, aren't supras great value? I didn't buy the JIC supra, I went on to buy one from a guy called Mark Partridge who lives in Halesowen, because it was a 6-speed VVTi. But what a coincidence hey. Love the auto box now I am a little older and wiser:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ewen Posted August 26, 2007 Share Posted August 26, 2007 :)The golden age of Supra values. JIC had always been at the top end of prices, some above £30,000 but incredibly low mileages. Sounds like you have found a great Supra there for a great price. Whats the Spanish connection ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kopite Posted August 26, 2007 Share Posted August 26, 2007 The Supra I have was originally a JIC one too, they got some corkers in before they closed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nick_karkie Posted August 27, 2007 Author Share Posted August 27, 2007 the thread is here because I am a returning Newbie haha. The spanish connection is simply that my family have fish restaurants here and we have the whole market because nobody else does it properly, so we moved to spain. I just got in now from driving the supra for 20 hours through france and spain, damn my knees and back hurt. I will post up some pics when I recover haha:p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
