JamieP Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 You did it the wrong way round Rob, get the house then the car, my advice get on the property ladder any way you can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Got to say though I think that many high spec supras have been broken this year it's even a struggle to break them now! Easy if you price it right, I sold most of mine in 2 days and got more money than i had it up for sale for, breaking is the only way with a lot of these big power/show cars.

ob1dude Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Keep it! Your car is amazing. Mine has been off the road since just after Supra Pod, and i fell out with it. Now its with Keron to sort out i cant wait to get it back. Possibly just a phase your going through, but getting property is the best thing you will do.

buster Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Shame to see all the big supra builds go! But i guess its a sign of the times. Supras are getting old GTRs are newand bigger.... petrol is going up with everything elce and its harder to get on the property ladder than ever! all a bit depressing thats why im keeping my supra to cheer me up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oddball87 Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 I am getting worried about finishing mine now, its seems on this forum you finish building your dream car drive it to a few shows then break or sell it. Its got to be some kind of disease you catch lol Or everyone copies Jamie lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supra Gaz Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 The property ladder should come first in all seriousness mate, its just metal. Nice and shiny, but still metal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveR Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Property continues to fall in value (now down 20% in cash terms since 2007, 30% if you count inflation) and most commentators reckon UK property is STILL at least 20% over-valued... I don't understand anyone's rush to buy a house and try to catch that falling knife. Property DOESN'T always go up, your life ISN'T on hold if you rent, renting ISN'T dead money, especially when you'd be losing more by having a mortgage on a depreciating 'asset'. The more Supras that are broken the better; those that remain are more and more rare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 KEEP IT, unless its the building you really like & not the driving? Or get your self one thats toned down & more a drivers car, show cars are great but not very practical & very hard work. Yours is a great car, but to much cleaning for me:d.

Sign of the times, or maybe you're just getting old Rob Well Hi Suzi! On a serious note I was so excited when i joined this club last Xmas thinking i ve finally made it into the supra world but i have to say coming on here the last couple of weeks has be depressing!! everyone seems to be shutting up shop!! i havent driven my car in nearly 7 months with it being in garages but i am dying to have ot back and drive it i think the majority on here get so into turbos bigger bhp and strip times they actually lose site of enjoying the car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobD Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 I was contemplating buying a house, but living in the centre of Cambridge is VERY expensive, going on the outskirts aren't that much cheaper with plus counting in commuting puts the out lay up again! It's also bloody daunting knowing your going to be in debt for soo long! I hate getting loans etc because I don't like owing money out! 30+ years on a mortgage makes me cringe, especially when they'll probably be a very hard 30+ years the way the economy is going! I'd rather rent and have no worries, enjoy life, go on holidays, have nice cars etc, instead of when the next mortgage repayments due and to scared of going out and buying a new tv just incase something happens to your boiler! Not everyone's made of money, the few that are earning £35k plus may think that last paragraphs silly, me and my other half don't earn 35k between us so there's no way we'd live comfortably with a mortgage! If in a few years were earning a bit more then I MAY contemplate it again, but right now there's to many things that make me think no!

Bossco Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Break it Rob. Then I can be the king of bling without having you to worry about Seriously though, if the car is finished or there abouts your not going to have that much more to spend on it.......so why not keep it?

Supra Gaz Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 The arguement is certainly there for property over cars. I won't be selling my Supra, I love it, it makes me happy just sitting in it. It looks different to everything else on the road, sounds amazing and annoys my wife, what more could you want!?! Rob, do what feels right mate, we are loosing a few central members, but others will step up, the Supra still has plenty of big builds and future ahead of it.

spikedjack Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 I really dont understand people finishing their cars, getting them featured then selling them. All that time effort and money totally wasted as its sold once its finished or even broken for bits. Enjoy the finished product ffs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Bailey Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Rob you're mad! How could you even think about selling it? I know i probs dont have a clue with the money side of things but surely its to nice to break! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abz Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Someone slap him please. Surely you built this car to promote your company and show what you guys can do? Why in the world would you want to break it if it is what helps you attract customers. Anyway if you did have property on your mind then doing a bling build like this might not have been the best idea!! An if you think this is expensive, what ever you do, do not calculate how much the banks will be making out of you!! Then you'll be thinking you could have had one of these!

scotty71 Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 (edited) So some of the big boys sell up, and after the mag feature and gold plating nearly all nuts apart from your own you're thinking of getting on the "break my car bandwagon" JP is right. house is a best bet berfore expensive toys, show cars, unless you want to stay with the parents or rent forever (unless your loaded of course) after all the effort, money and time thats gone into your build I can only think two words ..... attention seeker However much I would like to go single I never see the point in spending £1000's to make an undoubtable loss in breaking. Each to their own though Edited August 21, 2012 by scotty71 (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caesard Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 That is why people are poor. Instead of giving £20,000 to the rich bankers as deposit for a debt you will be paying forever, spend the next 3 weeks planning a business which can be generating you an additional £3000 monthly, run it profitably for a year, and sell it to your competition for 12x - 24x or more its revenue value, then you have money to pay outright half the cost of a new house and still keep the supe.
