Rich.2211 Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 I've been to view a Supra today which I'm keen on but unsure of what it's worth. It isn't advertised and the owner hasn't got any intentions to advertise it in the immediate future but will consider selling for a reasonable offer. - TT6, facelift, gunmetal grey - Advan wheels - Titanium exhaust - UK spec brakes - Imported through Jurgen in 2009 - HSD coilovers - Factory recaros - Black carpet - Leather headlining - Toyota multidisc cd changer - 4 good tyres - Good condition underneath - BPU upgrades inc boost controller - Stock body - Recent new OEM clutch Rear arch lips have been trimmed and the front arches rolled which I'm a bit unsure about. There are signs of paintwork on one rear quarter panel but it looks to a good standard. There is little/no service history and mileage is in the 90-100k miles region. Overall the car is in good/excellent condition although the one Recaro needs the bolster repaired and there are a few minor dents around the car (nothing I wouldn't expect for a car of this age). It seems to be a very genuine car with a great spec and I'm wondering what people would consider a fair price to offer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Supes Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Hard to say, but around 11.5k? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 £10k - £11k IMO. It's a sellers market for TT6s at the moment. Don't be too put off if it's had paint, most will have by now. The only issue is that if it is one of the side/shoulder bolsters that has gone, you can not buy replacements. You can buy Recaro Speed ones from Capital seating, but they will need some work to fit. Sounds like a nice car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Bailey Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Sounds good from the description, shame about the dents but these cars are getting old now so dents and scrapes are to be expected. Have you got any pics? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rider Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 It'd help if you mention age. I tend to undervalue compared to others but the titanium exhaust is an expensive after market item so I'd expect to pitch around £8k to £10k and knock a grand off for shoddy bodywork. No one wants a dented motor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich.2211 Posted October 1, 2014 Author Share Posted October 1, 2014 Cheers for the input thus far. It's a very nice car and would be an amazing car with some fettling. I think most if not all of the small dents would come out easily using a good paintless dent removal company (most people wouldn't bat an eyelid I doubt I'm just being a bit particular).

No one wants a dented motor. It's on a P plate. It's facelift but pre VVTi. The bodywork isn't shoddy at all I'm making it sound worse than it is. It's actually very good overall and better than average I would say but I'm just trying to give an accurate description. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like a nice car It's a very nice car indeed, I love gunmetal It's the drivers side lower bolster, the one people always catch when they get in the car. The fabric is okay it's just folded. I'll take a look at Capital Seating's website now. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitch79 Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 If it's the lower bolster, easy to change and cheap. Pair on eBay now http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&alt=web&id=141424117331 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitch79 Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 What I'd do, (I know it's possible with DC2 type R seats) Swap drivers with passenger seat after changing the bolster to eliminate further wear on the right side on mentioned seat before the fabric wears too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abz Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 By your description I'd say it is easily worth £11k, if you are buying though I'd pitch in at £9k using excuses of things that knock off the value. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich.2211 Posted October 2, 2014 Author Share Posted October 2, 2014 Are you not bothered that there is no service history It doesn't phase me not having any Japanese service history as it could well be forged anyway for all I know and I wouldn't be any the wiser. I would definitely like to have the service history since it's been in the UK though. If it's just a case of lost receipts and I can confirm with the garages the work has been done and get some proof - it's no problem at all. Call me naive but I really do trust the seller in this instance and from what they've told me it's been comprehensively serviced in their ownership (same family have owned since import).

I have seen tonnes of UK cars with a full stamped history which haven't seen half the services listed. Wouldn't worry so much on the paper work but the engine itself, and how knowledge the owner is on maintaining a car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glanza_Mike Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 Sounds like it's worth roughly 11k to me mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havard Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 (edited) I wouldn't be paying over £10K from what has been mentioned. Lack of service history/receipts make the stated mileage a bit of a joke. How long has the current owner had it? EDIT. WTF? I wouldn't pay over £8K if there was zero evidence of servicing or work done. You could be buying yourself a serious money pit.

At least if you have the service history there is something to verify before you buy. Service history was a must for me, especially considering the age and value of these cars, nowadays. Oil changes get neglected all the time and the effect it has on the engine over it's life span is detrimental to its health. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't pay over £8K if there was zero evidence of servicing or work done. You could be buying yourself a serious money pit. Current owner has had it a couple of years from what I gather and the previous owner was another member of the same family who imported it from Jurgen. I need to get back in touch with the owner and clarify as to what history their is exactly. I was told it had been serviced by a local TVR specialist and they did give me the name (but I've forgotten it) and there certainly has been money spent on it recently so I've no reason to disbelieve them. However, I would need some form of invoice, receipt etc for my own sanity and for if I was to ever resell in the future. I may have got the wrong end of the stick but I'm sure they mentioned there wasn't really much/any history with it, I'll get back in touch now and confirm either way. - - - Updated - - - any links to the car sale or chassis number ? i can maybe send you pics from japan and condition reports.. been 5 years in uk now so should have history in UK i would of thought.
