Good bits:

It’s a factory 6 speed in factory colour, has a well known brand full single turbo kit with all the needed extras fitted to pretty much choose your required power figure, mapping dependant.

It’s got relatively low mileage.

It has 170-175 psi across all cylinders with proof.

It’s had a bucket load of money spent on high end parts in the last year, the majority of them being brand new so won’t need replacing any time soon.

It has the usual RZ-S refinements, such as black headlining, black carpet, black oem leather front seats, and I have the original airbag to go with the car as it’s been replaced with the genuine hks electronics gauge pod.

 

It’s had a recent trip to SRD with Lee for the cams, cambelt, pulleys, waterpump, tensioner, mapping (making 600bhp/470ftlbs @ 1 bar of boost) obviously the boost can be turned up a lot and with a fresh map it would make considerably more on the figures side, however I’m currently happy with the power levels, safety and i feel its ample for road use. This work was done along with some other bits such as the cam covers being fully cleaned and painted, intercooler pipework modification.

Receipt here for £3,000.

 

Bad bits:

The main point with this supra to point out on the bad side of things is the fact it has original paint, being 22 years old now it’s definitely showing it’s age. My plan was to take the engine out over the winter and have a full oem colour exterior and engine bay respray, I have been quoted £2500 to have this carried out by a well known and respected body shop in plymouth.

The underside of the vehicle is in quite good condition, however the sills have been used as jacking points previously, not by myself but have folded over in places non the less. I was going to have these straitened again when it would of been in for the respray.

 

If someone is genuinely interested and would like the paintwork carried out along with the sills being straitened, a deposit can be left to cover the work, and I’m happy to get it done ready for the new owner.

 

PRICE £25,000

I wouldn't be too disheartened, it's early days yet and you've only had it up for sale 4 days looking at the date on the add.

 

It's top money so people won't want to start having paint done and maybe other costly jobs.

 

I'd perhaps get some OEM sideskirts (Whifbitz sell them), get them painted to match the car (or at least paint the one's already fitted). Maybe get your front lip done same time to match. I'd also look at painting the dash panels back to the facelift colour. Just an opinion as might not be to everyone's taste, but also would look better with an OEM number plate holder and spark plug cover painted black or carbon to match your other engine bay plastics.

 

Don't take anything negative mate because it looks a lovely motor but I'd think of anything you might pick fault with if you were looking for a perfect condition car to knock money off and correct those things.

 

Good luck with the sale.

Appreciate the comments buddy, and I think your right. Those bits you said, I will do when I get back from Spain in a weeks time. I also have a non eared lip, so will swap that out for a cleaner look. I doubt I’ll paint it though, I’m my opinion they look better with a black lip.

You're welcome mate. And to be honest thinking about it the black lip actually compliments the carbon spoiler blade too.

I do love a white Supra ,had one a while back,but for me you need to do the paint all one colour and fit O.E.M skirts.Engine bay in white would be a plus or reduce price.Everyone has different tastes of course and with patience you may find someone who will negotiate the way it is ,good luck:)

From my experience, i found it very difficult to sell my last one. People were only after a ‘fully stock’ or near fully stock car as these are the ones that are going up in value as such. Most of the higher end prices are being paid by people just wanting to keep them in a garage and make a good few quid in a number of years. This is just my opinion on what i found when selling mine and had very little serious people. Only one person came through to actually see it and it had been advertised for a good month.

Appreciate the comments guys, the plan when I’m back from holiday is to do what the majority are saying, oem skirts, change the front lip and have paint done.

Unless someone comes and puts £25k cash in my hand before I start, otherwise I will add the cost of the work I do on top of the current price :thumbs:

Just an update,

Currently decided on keeping the supra.

Just bought new wheels, side skirts and a few other goodies for it... mostly carbon fibre parts :diablo:

I’ll leave this ad up for now, but the temporary price of £25k I said is out of the window now. I will get it in for a full respray soon and will decide whether to keep or not when I’ve enjoyed it a bit more :)
