Guest DavidC Posted August 6, 2005 Share Posted August 6, 2005 Hi, My dad has had his Supra since April 1999 and is now considering selling it, however we really aren't sure of the true value. The car is a 1996 Non Turbo, Auto box. It's silver and 100% stock (apart from SVA requirement mods). It was imported with around 21,000 km on the odometer, at which point it was converted to count miles for the SVA. It now reads 38882, meaning it's covered a mere 17,900 miles since entering the country. As 21,000 km = 13,125 miles so it's covered 31,000 miles since new. The interior is half-leather. The car has been serviced at Toyota main dealership (Jemca/Jem) since we've owned it, serviced annually and having 6 month oil changes. Basically, this car is mint!

hadyn Posted August 6, 2005 Share Posted August 6, 2005 4-5 grand? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraStar 3000 Posted August 6, 2005 Share Posted August 6, 2005 WOW!! Thats a mint car. Even has the original stereo unit. £5.500 (but if your after a quick sale i'd drop that down alittle). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DavidC Posted August 6, 2005 Share Posted August 6, 2005 We're not in a desperate hurry for a quick sale as he still doesn't know what to replace it with yet. He tried a 350Z last week but actually preferred his Supra. He'll only consider buying Japanese or German so the choice for a sub £25k 2-3 yr old car (no ragtops) is kinda limited. We've already got one Celica, no need for a 2nd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aerotop Dave Posted August 6, 2005 Share Posted August 6, 2005 Looks like an excellent example. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Todd Posted August 6, 2005 Share Posted August 6, 2005 96 reg, 31k in that condition, I'd be asking more than 5k myself. Do not let the ebay prices influence your price, have a look through the autotrader web site for a comparison. OK, it's not a turbo but not everyone wants a turbo and that's one immaculate car by the looks of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted August 6, 2005 Share Posted August 6, 2005 Well I have the same car (96, N/A, stock everything) and I paid 9k last December - from a dealer (so slightly inflated, but with warranty) as a category 4 import, I'm the first UK owner, and with similar mileage... I'd be looking for more like 7.5-8 by now..? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DavidC Posted August 6, 2005 Share Posted August 6, 2005 Cool. I had been thinking £7k-£8 personally. I'd seen cars on autotrader in the past (I'd never use eBay as a price guide) but almost all have been modified. This is a stock car, mintier than a extra fecking stong mint. As my dad walks to work it never really gets used, hence the stupidly low mileage. In complete contrast, I've got a 1 year old Alfa GT and it's covered 16,000 miles already. That's basically as many miles as the Supra has done over the last 6 years! I'll have a closer look at the cars on autotrader, hopefully they'll back up the £7k-£8k expectation. Ta, DC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted August 6, 2005 Share Posted August 6, 2005 You've got me thinking now! I think the prices do a bit of a jump for 96 models (or later ones) as this was the 'face lift' model.. Differences can be seen here ! Bits on mine that don't seem to be on pre 96 models are ABS as standard and UK spec brakes.... and I think the stock exhaust is different, but I may have made that up? I'm sure if you have a look on Auto-trader you'll find similar prices to this - that said I have noticed in the last six months (not sure if it's a case of, you notice them when you have one?) but they do seem to be flooding the market lately... so depreciation may well have gone into free fall... though hopefully it hasn't!

Guest DavidC Posted August 6, 2005 Share Posted August 6, 2005 Judging by the changes in the dials (our has the odo in the speedo) that would make our a facelift model Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willson Posted August 6, 2005 Share Posted August 6, 2005 It does look lovely. I would think you could get 6.5 to 7k. Any more and you are into TT prices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DavidC Posted August 6, 2005 Share Posted August 6, 2005 But would that be higher mileage TTs at that price or low mileage minters? More importantly, what would be a good replacement. After the 350Z disappointment we're all outta ideas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willson Posted August 6, 2005 Share Posted August 6, 2005 Yeah it would be the lower end of the scale. But there is a bit of a mental barrier in that its just "for that money you could get a TT". No harm in putting it up for 8 and seeing what happens, you may well get it. There are loads of rouh examples around and yours looks super clean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willson Posted August 6, 2005 Share Posted August 6, 2005 As for replacement, personally, I'm dreaming of an NSX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DavidC Posted August 6, 2005 Share Posted August 6, 2005 NSX's are all too old for that money, I know cos I looked when I was buying my GT. There's also a mental barrier in selling your 1996 car to replace it with a 1992 Honda A recent Type-R would be something special though. It's more the car that I'd choose than what my dad want's though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazboy Posted August 6, 2005 Share Posted August 6, 2005 Absolute last of the line 2002 Supra TT? There must be one or two in this country? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted August 6, 2005 Share Posted August 6, 2005 Absolute last of the line 2002 Supra TT? There must be one or two in this country? That would get my vote too. I've only ever heard of one '02 owner posting on here! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted August 6, 2005 Share Posted August 6, 2005 Did your Dad lose both his legs in the War? How far forward is that driving seat? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DavidC Posted August 7, 2005 Share Posted August 7, 2005 Nah, my mum had just driven the car to the local immigrant car-wash service She's the short one. Oh, and obviously I had to move the seat forward to get in the back to take the photos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
