SupraDan24 Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 Hi guys, went to see this Supra yesterday in Leicester, the guy who has it said it was Px'd not long ago by a member on here, was wondering if anyone knew the car or whoever had it last so i can find out more about the car. This is the car anyway http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/1314998.htm The car was really nice in the flesh, engine bay was very clean, everything electrical worked and it seemed to change through the gears nicely (the guy who has it now said he changed the clutch last week for a new one as the old was slipping). He also said he'd service the car including changing the gearbox oil. it comes with 12 months MOT, 6 months Tax and 3 months Warrenty. Do you think guys think the asking price is okay for the car? any feedback i could get would be appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trinitom Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 nice looking car, but i think it's a bit high! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R Black Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 Well if you want to spend that much, here is a comparison for you. http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=201185 But i've never heard of Jurgen selling anything other than top cars, the car in the Advert is an unknown to me and you would need to check it out fully.

Scott Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 9.5-10.5 depending on condition. Its worth it if its nice, IMO, but if it was up for 9.5k last week then its not worth 10.5k this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bull3t Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 Not worth it, bit too high. definatly in the mid 9's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Havard Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 The original PH advert has been removed. Someone is pulling a bit of a fast one. In the original advert it had pictures of the new clutch but only one or two of the car. It's a car I was looking at but decided against it eventually. H.

Chris Wilson Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 Seven and a half tops, IMO. Ridiculous price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tannhauser Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 save a bit more and get a single turbo, they are going at 14k aprx, for what i have seen. I agree. Like mine, coming up for sale soon . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluecoup Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 never known a dealer change the engine oil let alone the gearbox oil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 Seven and a half tops, IMO. Ridiculous price. Would you be interested in finding one? What would be your commission for finding a 97 facelift manual TT with 50k miles for 7.5k? For 7.5k you would need to be very lucky. Its hardly the going rate. Bargain basement yes, if you hold out and get lucky. Actual worth, not a chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraDan24 Posted November 1, 2009 Author Share Posted November 1, 2009 What would you guys say was a fair price to offer the guy selling then? I did think it was high hence putting this thread on here in the first place. He took it on Px so obv he must have given the guy he got it from under the odds prices which is why i was surprised to see him selling it at a high profit even when he'd made a profit on the Px car. If that makes sense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SupraDan24 Posted November 1, 2009 Author Share Posted November 1, 2009 thanks guys, i appreciate the advice, guess i'll keep looking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abz Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 I'd say £9.5k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tricky-Ricky Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 I think it doesn't look bad for the money, nice wheels, looks tidy, and the spec isn't bad, but it needs viewing to really get any impression of its worth. Always makes me laugh when everybody comments that a car is not worth the money, and then get the hump when they put there own up for sale and somebody makes a similar comment;) When it comes down to it, if there is somebody willing to pay what your asking then fine.

Terminator Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 If you are going to pay £9.5K it would be worth taking someone with you who really knows their MKIV's. It won't be flying out the door that is certain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Wilson Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 There should be a "This is what I got" section alongside a "This is what I want" for sale on all owners club boards, by default, then potential new owners would have a much more realistic appraisal of values Someone asked if I could broker a deal on a car of X years of age. My answer is yes, I probably could, but it would be a trade sale, cash, no warranty and involving travelling and an instant, cash on the nail decision. This is where bargains are snapped up, IMHO. This is where the trade buyers get their profit, with an offer of finance, and a willingness to take a part exchange, and a nice showroom, furnished by a good body shop. Auction houses, especially import specific ones, are still the best place to buy if you are a serious cash buyer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
