Hi People (hopefully everyone identifies as a person, don’t wanna cause offends ),
Today I was having a little think about part pricing and the rise in second/new parts for the supra. I have noticed recently that the prices have been on an upward trend, my thoughts were that the prices were follow the same trend as the market values of our cars.
The above got me thinking, I’ve heard a few people mention “supra tax” in the past few months, and generally thought that this was a term used to describe an over expensive part. This got me thinking and I sounded what the rest of you think about this term and prices of parts in general.
1) Is supra tax a thing, or are we just seeing a relative trend that is following the market value of our cars?
2) obviously supply is now becoming harder as Toyota stocks are close to crisis point for some items, could this be the catalyst?
3) Trying to rock the boat a little with this one, but in the not too distant past we witnessed the supra value bottom out, did we get a raft of owners at this point who were not ready for the financial burdens of the supra’s upkeep?
4) Supra tax is real and it’s unjust. Cheers Toyota for starving us of a heritage line.
What do you guys think, I’m just thinking our loads with the 4 examples above.
