Bobbeh Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Well as the UK models are getting rarer and rarer the prices will more than likely go up. When searching recently for a UK6 the only ones (4 examples) I could find were selling closer to £15k on average! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fastcar Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 the tuners in Japan are thinking the same about us snapping up all the good examples of there older high perfomance cars and leaving them with very little to play with. Pretty soon there wont be any of the older cars left in Japan. I was reading an artical in a magazine that was saying that soon the tuning company's in Japan will stop developing new tuning parts as there are not many of the older Performance car's left.

Jezz Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 I'd still like to know what sort of money a 2001/2002 would set me back landed here. I'd happily pay good money for a 2002, and register it next year! Jurgen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dude Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Needed it to sell and it was a 1993 car with 125,000 miles on it and smokey VSOS. Bought a 1998 RSP VVTi Tiptoe with the exact same money and have not looked back since. Nothing to do with me then JB !!!!!! Strange I now have a UK spec, lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dude Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Fact is the Europeans can/do pay more for our cars, my new one will be for sale when its fully sorted but it will prob go to a Nordic country, I doubt I will even advertise it here.

ellis Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 I sold my old UK spec to a French buyer because nobody over here was willing to pay the asking price! He came over with a bag of cash, never questioned the price and drove it home. Thing is, if somebody over here had offered the money I would have taken it - nobody did. Cash is king. At the end of the day, its as easy for us to drive over there when their economy hits the sh1tter and buy them back for peanuts!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It must have been an old magazine! Japanese tuning companies have been discontinuing parts for the Supra for many years, it's been quite few years since a new part specifically for the Supra was launched by any of the big names.

Attero Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 I told everyone "you used to be able to get a TT6 for £6k+" but nooooo. Everyone disagreed. A TT6 on average will now cost £9-10k. They've gone up in value. There should be a rule that UK spec cars should be banned from being exported depending on a population threshold. And the end of the day, if someone doesn't want to pay the price I've set, then that's tough luck and they can look elsewhere. They are just saying that it should cost less because they want to pay the price they have in mind. In the real world, it doesn't work like that.

Dnk Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 The only rant i have is emails from either here or abroad that are so badly written it really makes you wonder why they bothered. I don't mean because of a language problem either. I have no issues with anyone from France etc buying my car and it's up to me if im prepared to accept some of the ridiculous offers i've received.
