Sorry, another "how much is my car worth" post

I'll keep it as short as I can but I'd appreciate it if those in the know could suggest a value for my car....

http://www.megaboost.co.uk/supra/mine/pics-10-5-04/DCP_4137.jpg

It's a UK TT Auto in original Astral Black, 94 on an L plate with a little over 90,000 miles and a full Toyota service history until July 2003 when I decided to take the car elsewhere - Toyota basically did me a 'full' service just after I bought the car in June 2003 and I wasn't impressed. Since then it's had 2 coolant flushes, oil changes every 3000 miles, new gearbox oil, new diff oil and so on, I'm an advocate of looking after a car!

When I bought the car last June it was 100% standard, black paint, ivory leather etc - I soon felt the need for a little more power and added 2 Chris Wilson decat pipes, a Nur Spec R and an AVC-R which had been running 1.2 > 1.3 bar on the odd occassions the car has been used to it's full potential.

Within the past 2 months it's had the following parts fitted:

New UK spec Turbos (oil seals worn and shaft play)

ARC SMIC

HKS Hardpipe Kit

IK24 Plugs

4 new brake disks (from CJ's group buy)

Hawk Brake Pads all round (HP+)

Goodridge Brake Hoses

2 x Shock Absorbers

A set of Eibach Springs

Various ENVY engine bay 'Bling' parts

2 new glass headlamps

A new Toyota badge for the front

In addition to the above I've also added the following things over the past 12 months:

Light smoke window tint all round

Emin's Blue Dash light conversion

Apexi AVC-R

TRL FCD

2x Chris Wilson Decat Pipes

Blitz NuR Spec R Exhaust

Standard alloys refurbed in "Chrome Shadow"

ProCarParts White lenses

Toyota White side repeaters

Prior to replacing the turbos, fitting the hardpipes and ARC SMIC I got a repectable 352.6 at the Hubs down at Thor (who setup and installed the AVC-R for me at the same time) - I've had the car on the rollers following each set of mods to ensure it's running 100% - it's been looked after!

The highest power reading I've had for it was 419.5bhp at "Top Gear" - this was before the last round of mods and it was spinning the wheels on the dyno, at a recent visit to John Nobles (the day I collected the car after the turbos and IC had been installed) it produced 384.7bhp @ 1.1bar - obviously the car has the potential to run 1.3 > 1.4 bar but I wanted to make sure it was OK following the work.

So that's my life story.... now it's your turn to scare me with a valuation

Id say 12k, its a lovely car

Do you want to buy it then

I've had my time with the Supra, it's been fun but it's time for something else now - don't get me wrong I love the car to bits but it's rare I get to exploit it's potential in full and therefore the car is wasted on me.

Having just moved house my journey to work involves a junction on the M62, one on the M1 and then one on the M621 - hardly the most thrilling environment to have fun

Keep it till Aug/Sept time and have some fun in the Sun Mike

I'm considering going back to MR2s but also thinking about just enjoying lots of more "average" cars for a while or getting a barge like a GS300 Vortex / S8 / M5 etc

Still undecided but a wad of cash usually helps solve that

Michael, it looks in great nick and from your description has the ideal improvements, especially the new lights, SMIC, and turbo's / seals which are things that on most uk cars will still be the originals, and shabby / worn.

Whats left that could cost you short term? not alot i can think of! maybe a rad etc? but most of the big 'what if' type costs are already 'repaired' with this car.

Personally this would promote the car above a lower mileage 'original' car for me, but i suspect the mileage will to a point put off those not in the know.........

(Not saying advertise it for this) but maybe £10.5-11K possibly a little more?

good luck

I'd have said more like scooters mark personally. Definately nice, I'd say the mileage is the only thing dropping the price.

Thanks for the input Scooter, as you say I've tried to refresh all the usual tired components, from what I can see the previous owner had replaced the radiator already, I presume it got killed by a stone / boulder or something similar - all in all it's a car that should give someone a lot of cheap motoring for a while, because I'm stupid it looks like that someone won't be me

I was reading this and thought the same as Scooter and Rosie - £10.5 - 11k and then I read...

4 new brake disks (from CJ's group buy)

Well, if that doesn't impress the feck out of potential buyers AND put at least a grand on the value nothing will!

Good luck with the sale Michael

From that picture I nearly want one

Good luck with the sale, if the mileage puts anyone off then they're daft, as it is under average mileage.
