Guest paul_devon Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 I've seen a local supra advertised and just wondered peoples opinions on price. Its an RZ-S Twin Turbo, 1994, red, full leather, 6 Speed manual, 19 inch alloys with new tyres, original alloys included, 12 months mot, 61k miles and 2 uk owners since import in 1996. Its up for £5,250 and he won't budge on the price. The condition of the car is good. Im thinking its a good price. Is this about the right asking price, or what should it be worth?

martini Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 6 speed manual Twin Turbos are usually more expensive than £5,250 - could either be a risky buy or a hell of a bargain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caseys Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 That and 61k mileage for a 1994 is very very low. May be a bargain but I'd have a serious look over it if it's going for that price. Generally cars are cheap for a reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz6002 Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 I smell a rat. That's too cheap. Link or pics required before a better opinion is given. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 They didn't make an RZ-S model during '94 did they? Very suspicious, or very tatty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest paul_devon Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 It seems very genuine. The current owner has owned it for 6 years and only done about 6000 miles, but no longer uses it. Its got loads of receipts and apart from the alloys and superchip, the rest is standard. I'm very tempeted to buy it but looking to get a mortgage in a few months so will have to sell it around feb time to get the deposit money sorted. What sort of value do you think its worth? SOrry, its my mistake, its an RZ model Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martini Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 If it's in that good a condition... I might buy if from you in February Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SOrry, its my mistake, its an RZ model Firstly, it doesn't have a superchip. You can't superchip the Supra TT. Get the mortgage sorted and then buy your Supra. Plenty of better ones will come up between now and then. Never buy the cheapest one if you want hassle-free motoring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supspower Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 To be fair if your going to sell it in feb wait.....spring and summer is the best time to have a supra not over winter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest paul_devon Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 Yeah but once I get the mortgage, my time of owning a supra will be over as I will be skint! Ive had 2 non turbos in the past and miss them. I may own it for longer and fingers crossed I will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caseys Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 If the owner's raving about a Superchip walk away.... just leave it. Next he'll be raving about any induction kit on it giving an extra 20BHP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamesy Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 If the owner's raving about a Superchip walk away.... just leave it. . My thoughts exactly. OR if you really like it take an experinced mechanic/supra owner with ya Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abz Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 That is seriously cheap with that low mileage and if it is stilling on 19's.

edge Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 Got any pics or a link? Its not under priced by that much. I sold my old bpu 6 speed for £5500. But it really needed the paintwork looking at or maybe a full respray but i spent ALOT of money on just general up keep of it and a nice clutch etc and it was mint underneath.

An RZ-S is a 96> twin turbo automatic import. If it's a 94 and he's saying it's a manual twin turbo then it's an RZ, and if it is then he's desperate to get rid at that price. How about a link?

jonathanc Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 Agreed with the general opinion that it is dodgy. I've been digging a lot recently for TTs and there's none that cheap except few dodgy ones and ones with accident damage history. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest paul_devon Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 he isnt a trader. He seems like a genuine 45 year old bloke. He has only advertised it on his drive from what i know but he is saying someone from dover is coming down tomorrow with 5500 to buy it. I think im gonna leave it as the insurance is too high for me as my 7 years no claims are against my a3. And, if someone comes all the way from dover to torbay and doesnt buy it, there must be something wrong, although i couldnt find anything! Thanks for your advise people Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
