j80leo Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 I have owned my supra now for 4 years and over the years i have put around 20k into it doing it up trying to get it to a good standard that i like replacing old for new and quite a few modifications along the way, I am thinking of buying a 6 speed now but thats another £3500 and then after that single turbo another £4500 i was just looking on the trader and supra prices are really dropping is it worth putting another £8-10k on this car as it will only be worth around£10-14k:( what you guys think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suprattgaz Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 I was in this situation while back when I wanted to go TT from an NA. Weighing up the costs it is just not worth doing the work on the existing car. "I" would sell it and buy one that is already done (which is what I did), but that is just IMHO.

RobSheffield Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 Its only worth it as long as you are not planning on selling it to make money. If you are doing it and intend to keep it for some time then its worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 Hard one, can you afford to chuck money away? you could sell up and buy a car you really want as it will probably cost less, saying that building a car up is all part of the fun and you know your car, if you buy something else you could end up with a lemon:search: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jevansio Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 Its only worth it as long as you are not planning on selling it to make money. If you are doing it and intend to keep it for some time then its worth it. Considering the work you've already done I'd keep yours, it looks mint in your garage pics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suprattgaz Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 To add I hadn't spent 20K on my NA though, that might have made the decision a bit different!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
