DanBEXsupra Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 i think it sometimes, being on minimum wage, trying to go somewhere with my life (want to be a car mechanic). sometimes i consider selling it. but then i remind myself if i do that ill have nothing, so i keep her, find the time to drive to nowhere in particular. just me and the car. and i learn to appreaciate it again!

R Black Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 Not at all. Fastest and best looking car for the money. A no brainer IMO. I don't understand why more people don't have them instead of the $#@!e you see on the roads. Seconded Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marbleapple Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 Agree that it is the best looking car for the money. Agree that I regret buying it to sink loads of money into it just to then go and try sell it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 I often wish Jazz1 hadn't bought one. He didn't, his dad did Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra_aero Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 yes today when i sat in it and water came out the seat like a sponge :( Spooky you tried vaseline as a temporary solution? Also replacing the rubber seals is a lot cheaper than you'd think it is. I never found the leak that bad (sometimes it never leaked, ocassionally it did - was odd).

Ricky49 Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 I'd never sell her. I bought it as a wedding present to myself, iv spent about £6000 on it so far and now going through the motions for a single tubby conversion. The cars not missed a beat yet, I took it Lee P for a compression check when I got it and he was pleased with the results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markssupra Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 Never! It the most fun I have ever bought, I hope that one day I will be able to spend a large wad of cash on it to get where I want to be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lbm Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 (edited) Nope. Bought mine in 2000 with 15,000 miles for £14,600, so effectively as new. Apart from annual servicing etc and running costs, I spent an additional £6000 on new Wheels, BPU and body kit etc Therefore a total of £20,600 - over the last 9 years. Quite good value I feel.

Will never sell the Supra, I love it. Mine is still a GT though, not the racer it can be. But I will be going single, soon. Ish. It's a tossup between an R35 GTR or an Aston for me when I decide to change the 535d... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My mate has a DBS and even that is not all that, my car leaves him for dead although his does have the looks:cool: Id love an R35 but id have to sell the boat or the supra to get one and that not going to happen, just gotta stop spending on the supra and get saving:( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got the MR2 for outright speed, Supra for cruising at weekends and then the Aston/R35 for the work run, where I spend most time.

Ace Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 Nope. Bought mine in 2000 with 15,000 miles for £14,600, so effectively as new. Apart from annual servicing etc and running costs, I spent an additional £6000 on new Wheels, BPU and body kit etc Therefore a total of £20,600 - over the last 9 years. Quite good value I feel. Blimey, that is good. That would rival the ownership costs of most hatchbacks. Just to put a different slant on things, your total running costs of just over £20000 was what the GTO cost me, all in, from day one. Oops.

jazz1 Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 Well i got mine as a birthday gift and i dont regret spending the money on it, im just fed up with people sayig sell it? for no reason, by next year i want a R34 GTR:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSK Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 Being a 1995 its going to need a bit or regualr TLC along the way but its uber reliable non the less. My costs are just things like tyres, brakes, geo-setups, HIDs, servicing........ So it costs as much as I would be spending if I had got a Mercedes AMG etc. The only thing that pisses me off about it is that far too many people like to have a pop for a race or give you grief, but then just as many folks give a smiley nod.

GazB Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 I don't think i will ever see my supra, the money it cost me to buy and what i've spent is what has been spare cash at the time. Perhaps if i'd have been looking for a car now with the economy as it is i may have chosen something more sensible like a porker As for running cost that’s all relevant to how you use the car, I see my running costs as the yearly MOT, which combined with a small service, isn’t expensive. The road tyres I’ve got will last a long while, as they don’t get used that often The racing cost are a different thing altogether A lot of the general servicing cost also fall into racing costs In comparison to the servicing cost for the S class it’s cheap. The last major service had a 5k bill The motorhome is cheap to run except fuel cost has mpg is not to good when towing But if you want sensible the Golf diesel I’ve had since 2004 has cost next to nothing, one wheel bearing, a boot lock and service every 20k. It gives me 45 mpg even giving it some beans Conclusion is NO i don't regret buying the supra, i've even tried taking the other half into having an auto for day to day use, but i think going out in mine has put her off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abz Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 After just spending £1k on service and decats I did....until I got back into the driving seat! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meko Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 Have I seen you driving about? What colour is the car now? probably not, i managed to put Greater Manchester on instead of Lancashire.. i'm in Preston and it's hardly been on the road.. It's silver still, just needed spraying after having the new front end Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
