You'l never be rich with a supra

Unless you already are.......

Newbies be warned these are expensive cars. last cpl of months have been quite expensive.

last month :tax £103 6 months, insurance £489 , mot £45 and 2 front tyres £250

This month : cam belt + decat exhaust £220, rear tyres £250, new brake discs all round £150

next month: paint and fit do-luck front funds pending £approx 300

just to let you know what you may be in for.

although its part and parcel of supra ownership you have to be prepared to spend to maintain these beasts.

Im not complaining its the best car i have ever owned and i guess im lucky that i can afford to keep her on the road

Its not that expensive on the scale of things

Try getting a cam belt change on a 2.5 rover.

Or servicing a Merc

Well I think it depends if you have an N/A or TT! With my N/A Supra's I never spen anything on them, but since owning two TT's I must of spent thousands in only a couple of months lol.

just wait for your heater matrix to go........

Its not that expensive on the scale of things

once its done its done, some people dont understand what things cost on these cars thats all

Theres pros and cons with running all cars tax and insurance is a given with anything you drive! If your going to be modding it then yes the bills will go up but you can only upgrade your supra if your pocket allows you to. There not expensive to keep on the road its the upgrades we keep wanting to do like brakes de-cats bumpers etc....If you just buy the supra you want and keep it that way there fine to run! Were all modified tarts thats where the expense comes in and its hard not to do it!!

Ive spent a bit on my car but i bought it knowing that it wasnt cheap and cheerfull. When i bought some parts for my girlfriends fiesta i was laughing though air oil pollen fuel filters spark plugs and two new front discs and pads for just £78.

I dont think they are that expensive to be honest. All I have had to do is keep feeding mine petrol and oil changes. Even things like brakes and tyres seems to last pretty well.

Infact the only non-service item I have had to replace on mine is the power steering pump. Not bad for over 177k really.

Well taxing it is the same if not cheaper than a few other cars:) the mots the same as any other car

your insurance is down to your individual personal details doing mods dont count as running costs

Just wait till your rad goes or the heater matrix or the wishbones need replacing or the coilpacks

I think that is what attracts people to the Supra:)

Japanese reliability, build quality, and of course the performance.

If you look at a rival like the TVR.....

just wait for your heater matrix to go........

£2 fix, just bypass it by blocking the pipes!!

thats hardly a fix now is it ?

I don't know how much a heater matrix costs:search: but if the car isn't a daily driver then with time and patience it shouldn't be That much of a problem:)

thats hardly a fix now is it ?

It is if you can live without the weak heaters anyway!!

If I was to add up what I have spent over the last 5 years I would cry. But I just not going to

Same here but 13 yrs and think its been worth every penny

its been worth every penny

Ive not added up my supra addiction and think its best not too

No never add it up and if you do don't let the girlfriend or wife see it!!!

i always find it easier not to add things up either, much less stressful that way.....and i'm an accountant, think i'd know better!

One of my previous cars was a SAAB (sadly, I know)... they are expensive to fix.. you need special tools and everything!?
