Guest Based Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 I'm from the states and I'm on here looking at the classifieds and people are selling immaculate supras for under 20k USD... You're LUCKY to see one in the states in decent condition under 30K. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abz Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 We just had more availability due to our lenient import laws that we are very lucky to have. We also had a UK Spec Supra to add into the numbers. Though the prices are certainly going up in the UK, with a dry up of Supra's in Japan and ones crashed every winter it will go only one way.

Guest Based Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 Ah ok I get it. Yeah it's crazy I look on Autotrader and Carsforsale and in the entire united states there are maybe 100 Supras for sale with both sites combined. I need to buy mine and keep it unwrecked!

Abz Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 Few years ago you'd find tonnes of them for sale, now on autotrader (I kid you not) 3 for sale in the whole of the UK. On pistonheads.com you have 22 of them for sale, most of them from a dodgy dealer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hitbox Junkie Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 There were plenty of supras for sale 5 months ago in the us but they were all salvage. Maybe a cheaper way to get one and build it up? (Like the movies) pritty much what mine is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Raven Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 25 years few more years for mine then....Well if mine ever goes i guess it would be over there for that money! I wonder if someone would straight swap for a viper? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sanya Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 At american prices I bet it is much cheaper to buy a crap one, build it, crash it, build it again and then you still would have money for Christmas holiday. [[[= Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if someone would straight swap for a viper? Now your talking. I'd swap mine for a dodge charger 1968 or a 69 Or a 68 or 69 ford mustang fast back or soft top with the fastback hard top But that's the only things that would part me from the supra. But not for a few years any ways Edited November 12, 2015 by Hitbox Junkie (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craig85 Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 I don't think imports will affect the pricing on US Supras to be honest as they are LHD. I know the R32 is doing well but that was never manufactured in LHD so they don't have a choice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know the R32 is doing well but that was never manufactured in LHD so they don't have a choice I don't think it will reduce the price of the LHD cars, but it should stop the prices from rising as quickly as they have been in the US.

Mondo HnS Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 It's not the movie that makes it the most sought after car on the planet The movie certainly went a long way towards cementing the Supra's status as a cult car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cered Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 The movie certainly went a long way towards cementing the Supra's status as a cult car. Agreed, Supras would be a popular car anyway - Looks great, rocketship performance, rare compared to 911s say and priced pretty well. £9-10k for a Tiptronic facelift is a bargain. Compared to a Porsche 911 of similar vintage. But Need for Speed and Fast and Furious turned it into a poster car. It's as cool as any Ferrari now because of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShawnPreece Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 Supras would be a popular car anyway Totally agree with this, looks and styling is all down to preference but anyone wanting a good motor to tune would have to be looking at a 2JZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
