Forum Supra on EBay

So saw this recently:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/200997274004?redirect=mobile

Noticed it was a forum members car BUT has not been advertised on the forum for sale... This immediately made me think something was off. As the only place I even advertised my Supras was the forum...

Anyway if anyone knows the car, feel free to share some information about it

Love what he has done with the wheels. May look at getting mine done similar...!!

Oh, no I won't as that would make quite a classy looking car look shite.

£6500 for an auto TT with 120K on the clock and valve stem seals needing doing is a bit high in my book.

Yea I was thinking the same H. on both counts! How it looked before with the other (BBS?) wheels was much better. Was just curious if anyone actually knows the car as the owner says they're a forum member but there's no advert on here...

The other wheels look like Manias. Cheap wheel but they still look nice when new.

I still stand in amazement when people do things like this to their car. Blue with gunmetal? Why not silver, nice shadow chrome or even black at a push. I suppose it is all in the interest of trying to be different. Problem is, looking crap isn't different these days.

Sorry. I am ranting.

Surprised to see that Chris is selling it, i met him up with him at his place a few weeks ago as i bought a set of

5 spoke Range Rover alloys off him.

I like the blue wheels

The wheels were up for sale on here for £400, and then he posted that they were no longer for sale because the whole car was for sale. Thought it was odd that there was no for sale thread aswell.

Maybe it was to avoid members pulling it/the advert apart.

Definitely chris's as he put it on Facebook with the ebay link. Does look a nice car and I've seen it in the flesh and love the colour.

Yea my thoughts too. 6500 for a supra that needs VVS doing seems steep :-/ it is gunmetal though so I guess this is desirable.... the blue must lower the value though

Yep it's mine I haven't put it on here yet because I only put it on eBay last night nothing dodgy at all I knew people would slate it too

There's nothing dodgy about selling a car that I don't use enough to justify keeping I do 5 miles a day and it's sat on the drive all the other time so is unfair to keep it

And thanks for saying my car looks shite really nice to know that people like people being different

Good luck with the sale Chris, shame to see your selling up.

I like it mate. Wheel colour not my choice but the can be sorted. Bur the car looks great. GLWTS

Nothing against you mate I just thought it seemed odd as a member would usually post here first... That was all I found dodgy.

Also it's the price than makes people dubious. The blue of course is personal preference.

And thanks for saying my car looks $#@!e really nice to know that people like people being different

good luck Chris with the sale of your car.

The problem with the for sale bit on this site is everyone who has no intention of buying the car likes to leave daft comments

also they like to de value your car imo

Seems to be the norm on most sites, if you give a genuine opinion on removing stickers

or posting up better photos then its of use to the seller, otherwise don't post

The point of an owners club is to be honest surely. If something is wrong, like the valve stem seals, which could be a much worse problem as far as the buyer is concerned, then why not post your concerns. I was interested in the car but for 6500 it's too much of a risk. I've no interest in devaluing any car, most cars devalue themselves.

Chris - sorry to here your selling up mate. Not good but hey understandable with what your saying.

Don't take to much notice of comments on here, as some comments are just to impose an influence.

I like the blue wheels mate and some thing different, maybe not every one taste but hey its your car and you do what ever you want to it.

Good luck with your sale mate, keep him touch

Apologies Chris. Not meaning any offence, although I wouldn't have been pleased if that post would have been about my car in fairness. The original picture of it with the Manias is stunning and I can't get my head around anyone fitting blue to wheels as an improvement. That said, it's just MY opinion and it doesn't count for a great deal. If this would have been a "for sale" thread I wouldn't have commented.

good luck Chris with the sale of your car.

This car was not put in a for sale thread was it? See above.

As far as de-valuing the car. I like it, £6500 for a TT auto makes my valuation of a VVTi Tip look too cheap and I would put the price up now if I was selling.

H.

Chris is struggling with his Internet at the minuite but I think he will be putting more details up when he can get on about the car . There is nothing dodgy going on just does t want the bitching about his car.

Finally sorted my account right ill get some better pics taken tomorrow and get a for sale ad up on here

I'm going to see how it goes on ebay this week and if I don't get anything I'll repaint the wheels silver and spend the week doing the vss's so it'll have new plugs a coolant flush and will be running bpu so should be worth the money

That sounds like it would be worth the money once that's done.

Also this thread was just curiosity as it looked a nice car but obviously a forum member not advertising their car on the forum just seemed odd! Nothing against you personally.

I would definitely do the VSS before sale bud. It will help the sale no end as the less mechanically minded people will just read it and think "shagged".. next one.

It's also a crying shame to see you selling. Was looking forward to some meets next year together!

I love those colour wheels! looks nice.

although I'd never do anything like that.

:ahem:

great looking car, GLWS

I must admit if I was selling my car I would try elsewhere first as I would guess you could get better money for it off the forum, plus it's a NA and I wouldn't like passing on that misery to anyone
