Jim_1979 Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 Jap TT Auto Has about 68K on the clock Cam belt changed HKS Super Dragger and Double decat TRE Fuel Pump Fuel Cut Defender NGK Plugs Boost Gauge Apart from that it's stock. A small tear on the back seat (top part), dash needs painted (as usual, but isn't that bad). What's the rough price I should ask for it?? I've just had a wee baby and need something a little bigger! (prbably an Evo of some sort). I don't really want to get rid, but the g/f has a new shape beetle and that's not got much space in it!! thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DamanC Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 I looks quite clean to me. Personally getting hold of some center caps, clear indicators, maybe some headlights/refurb and a damn good clean there is no reason why this wouldnt go for 8k+ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim_1979 Posted November 28, 2006 Author Share Posted November 28, 2006 how much are a set of centre caps roughly?? I know how much the rest are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DamanC Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 Honestly?.....i dont know but im sure i saw a set run away for about £40 on here a fair while ago. hth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pig Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 Is it me, or is the door off colour??? I would say about 6 - 8 k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarkey Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 £8k ONO maximum (that's how much I'd put on the market for). What goes in the favour is that it's more or less stock. It wouldn't take much effort to source a stock exhaust put the cats back in .. and sell the car as a stock car running stock boost. In today's sinking market - the car would be easier to sell -imo- if it's as close to stock as possible. You won't even need to get it dyno-ed. You can quote the stock figure. Then you can sell the other bits exhaust and FCD seperately. I would suggest do something with the wheels - but spending money on the car when it's going to be sold .. makes no sense. But if you can get those wheels polished up - back to silver and get some centre caps .. at a bargain price .. then bonus! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham S Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 Is it me, or is the door off colour??? I would say about 6 - 8 k Looks like the rear 3/4 panel is off, the door seems to match the intake bit on the skirt. But its probably the angle making it look that way! I'd say about 7k but with centre caps and a dam good clean. How about putting the caps on, getting some tyre paint stuff and taking the same pic on a sunny day (if thats possible now!) and i bet it looks worth much more!

Jim_1979 Posted November 29, 2006 Author Share Posted November 29, 2006 I don't have the centre caps. Car came without them! I do have the stock exhaust system including cats etc, so I could easily return it to stock if I had to. I agree though, something needs to be done with the wheels!!! Would it be easily enough to polish them up myself (or a friend with a polisher thingy (he's done a set of wheels himself in the past)).

Chris Wilson Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 As a guide I had in a 93 / 94 J-Spec auto TT in silver last week or so, owned by someone on here. 90% original paint, zero rust anywhere, drove perfectly, low mileage, no silly body kits and a really really nice example,on a par with a 98 car I have in. Probably the nicest car I have seen this year. He paid £5000 for it. If I were to buy another TT for myself, and was willing to travel, I would expect change from 4500 and expect a decent car.

Jim_1979 Posted November 29, 2006 Author Share Posted November 29, 2006 change from £4500!!?! You can get n/a's for that price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 change from £4500!!?! You can get n/a's for that price. I'd expect a late 6 speed and a LOT of change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim_1979 Posted November 29, 2006 Author Share Posted November 29, 2006 yeah... but not from a private sale?? You mean importer/trader auction price?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 Does it matter where they come from if clean tidy and a good price? Having said that the 5K beauty was vbought privately, and many more bargains are to be had with cash in hand, a good bargaining spiel, and a willingness to travel. Auctions give even better deals, of course, but you need to be confident and knowledgeable to pick correct cars. 2 years ago I bought a nice Soarer TT privately for 900 quid. Didn't even advertise it, someone with an MR2 turbo in for sevice saw it and offered 2k on the spot Just need to keep your eyes open, be thick skinned bid hard and hope. Bid on enough cars and you can buy a bargain eventually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim_1979 Posted November 29, 2006 Author Share Posted November 29, 2006 true... true..... Well we'll see what I get for my motor. Tbh, wouldn't mind a straight swap for an Evo 4 or 5. A bit more space for the wee one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveM Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 The market is very slow at the moment, I've had my TT auto with a similar spec and mileage up for sale on Ebay and in the trader for the past two weeks for 8k and not had any interest at all. I have been watching prices of other supras on Ebay and saw one auto TT in Scotland with similar mileage go for £5100. I have given up hope of selling at this stage and am going to try around a few garages this week to see what I can get P\Ex against something else.

Sheefa Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 Yep, it's a very difficult market at the moment and Chris is right, there's some absolute bargains around. I wouldn't expect to get anymore than £7k on mine and it's had quite a bit of work done. Bought for £8k in July and had over £3k spent already.

Please depreciate the supra even further chris, i know i wouldnt mind selling my 10k car for 4.5k, i mean who wouldnt? maybe if we all try harder we can get the value of our cars right down to 3k, then we can have anyone owning supras, F8ck it, im going to give mine away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim_1979 Posted November 29, 2006 Author Share Posted November 29, 2006 well said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheefa Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 He's only stating a valid point Matt - I don't think he's intentionally trying to diminish the value of our Supras buddy Chris obviously deals with a lot of Supes and other speciality cars so he has a pretty good indication of the market I'd say pal. Still, I won't be selling mine for less than £7k if I do put it up for sale when I get it back! Good luck Jim. Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike B Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 just sold my 94 manual, it was mint for 10k with 56 on the clock. it's a poor time of year, but i'd say 6-8k. 5k is just praying on someone's bad fortune. next summer it would have gone for 11.5 we recon.

Chris Wilson Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 I have yet to find any owners club sites that DON'T overvalue the cars They are worth what anyone will pay, and in part exchange you pay the price to change, which is the ONLY thing you need to ask a trader, but you are unlikely to get a straight answer I get this all the time with race cars, owners always think they are worth about double their real value, it's human nature, and reality can be a real kick in the teeth. I personally can't possibly affect the value of a car make or model, the market will set that, I can only state an honest personal opinion, based on experience.
