Still unsold! Had a couple of offers but I'm not giving the car away - its too good for that! Anyone got real money for a well maintained twin turbo VVTI?

Hey,

Tough time of year to sell one of these, mine is almost identical, but on a '98 with 100k. Tried selling it for a month or two, had a few silly offers initially which i turned down and then it went silent. I think the problem is that there seem to be absolutely loads of supra tt's for sale at the mo, and prices seem to have dipped because of this. Also with christmas being just around the corner it also doesnt help I guess. I had mine up for £8650 no offers at one point, and still had people trying to knock me down!!! Hence whilst ive decided to keep it, not worth giving these away at a silly price!!

If you can hold out until next year around March time it'll go in no time ;)

You are probably right mate.

[RobSheffield]

Main problem is that most new members looking to buy a car see yours at 10.5k and one down the road on a 93 for 5k and think you are overpriced.

The people who know what the late models command and what the VVTI tip is all about are too few and far between.

It may well be a waiting game, even at that price.

:iagree:

[Mike Leavy]

Sure you're right!
Fortunately I don't need to sell the car quickly - it's just not getting driven now.
I think its actually underpriced for a very late '99 so I'll wait until someone who actually values a good VVTI realises that. I'm not going to give it away.

[Tee from China]

Nice car Mike, really nice colour too and as it's a 99 very cheap too! Shame your having to sell and hope it all goes well. Can I ask you what made you change to a Porker? Which model have you bought?

Hi, Mike sorry yours didn't sell - I thought it was sold at one point for 9050? Seems people don't know about VVTi's or Tiptronics and try stupid offers Yours is too cheap too. I would have a tough time deciding which to buy a 98 or 99 - hmm tough choice. Hope you and Mike get you money.

If you don't need to rush, then don't feel pressured into dropping the price.

I think it is way under priced for a late year VVTi, but like someone said, you need a buyer who understands the difference between a late facelift VVTi and an early J spec. Main problem is that there are plenty of young buyers with a £5 - £6k bank loan burning a whole in their pocket, and much fewer **usually** older buyers with the budget for a late facelift VVTi, and therefore, the cheaper cars turnover quicker.

I didn't drop the price on my VVTi TT6, and eventually a buyer came along. When he did, he knew exactly what he was looking at, had looked at a couple of tired examples from the trader, and the quality of a well maintained, well loved car closed the deal.

Hang in there, the right buyer will come along, and definitely don't give it away!

Yeah it was classed as sold at one point, but the buyer couldnt raise the rest of the funds for the car, and hence tried to knock me down a bit more. It was a steal at £9050 and I couldnt justify letting it going for even lower than that.

Im keeping it now and gonna put a few more miles on here, and then maybe try again next year around March/April ;)

Really I just got a bit bored with the Supe! So I've got a 2 year old 911 (996) Turbo S with a re-mapped ECU delivering 530 bhp, adjustable race suspension, sports clutch & exhaust & ceramic brakes. Awesome.:)

All I need now is someone who can afford a really good facelift Supe.

Exactly, just play a small waiting game - lovely car :)

[FuR]

i love that colour, gl with sale

[Mike Leavy]

Thanks m8 - the car really needs an appreciative owner - I've just outgrown it. Sahem really - the most reliable car I've EVER had - not been off the road a single day (other than services) in the 4+ years I've had it. And easily the most powerful car I've had until the Porsche!

[TyranoSupraRex]

Good luck mate. Exactly the same as mine (minus the tweaks) etc. I'd hold on for your price. I've had nothing but joy from mine (maybe some pain but self induced) and the facelifts with VVTI in that colour just look so classy. Top example!!

Up your price now! buyers dont just come out of the wood work, but they are willing to pay the correct price when they do! dont just sell for 10k in the hope of a quick sale, when the right buyer comes he will pay what its worth

[Mike Leavy]

Hmmm. I'd like to think so...
How much do you think I should be asking then??

[gtylerroberts]

How many gears does the Tiptronic supra have?

I have a 4 speed auto. Is the Tiptronic the same?

Really nice car. I am thinking of selling my left leg in order to fund purchase. I wont need it anyway as there is no clutch!!

[Mike Leavy]

Yep its a four speed box. Not sure if the ratios are the same.
Whats the market like for left legs???

Good choice - but you'll need to sell the supe to fund new brake discs! ;)

[Mike Leavy]

Mmmm. I know its not cheap to run a Porsche (this is my 4th!). But it only needs a service every 12000 miles as opposed to 4500 for the Supe - so there is that compensation. And anyway just look at how much money people sink into their Supe's.
The only thing I need to buy for the Porsche are some locking wheel nuts!!!

I really hope you were aware of the price of ceramic discs before you bought. Porsche's are not cheap to run, but they're not too bad. But ceramic discs are a whole different ball park - they are something ridiculous like £2k-3k per disc. I can't remember exact prices but I'm sure I've read that a set of 4 would be more than £10K.

I think you can replace them with standard steel ones if you have to though.

[Gaz6002]

I'd say put this car on Pistonheads for £12k and see how many E-Mails you get then ;)
