Whitesupraboy2 Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 Thats the problem. I have a Celica as a second car but was going to use part of the Supra money to go towards the house and part to buy a cheaper supra - hence the offer to accept a P/Ex. now i understand the decision Good luck in making that one!

toyotasuprauk Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 You have to be happy but £20K sounds like a really good price to me. Especially with the way Supra prices are looking lately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 Must be the day for it, someone made me an offer too but it's just that little bit lower than I'd like - I'd almost settled into keeping it too... stick with it CJ, the right buyer will appear, £20k is a fair bit less than you want.

I think you are right Michael. I mean where else could you buy a car with this performance and looks that also has a new engine, new gearbox etc etc. Whilst 20k sounds a lot of money it isnt so clever when you add things up and whilst I know I will never get my money back, I still think that the car is worth more than that.

TRD3000GT Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 No chance mate.. Dont let her go for £20K... Hell the ecu costs 1/4 of that!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangerous brain Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 With your contacts you could strip it and sell it for more than that. You'd have to indure some more of those pesky PM's though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJ Posted September 27, 2005 Author Share Posted September 27, 2005 You are right there Bry but I think that may be a No, I have decided that the Beast is not going to go for silly low money (despite what people may think, 20k for this car is low money) and i would prefer to keep it myself. So, unless someone comes up with the goods then it is back to the drawing baord to make the Orange Beast better looking and more powerful than before Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nic Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 I saw the thread over on Supraforums and had a quiet I almost bought one last year before building the new engine but that wasn't an HKS version. What thread was that? I was just hinting that I could get you one from here My tuners built a Supra here recently with a 3.4L kit and T-04Z turbo, chatting to the owner of the tuners, he was saying it has huge amounts of torque and the bigger capacity really helps the big single to spool up quickly.

dangerous brain Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 You know what I am also beginning to re-appraise my sale postion on my own car. I'm tempted to keep it until my first tax bill is due which won't be until next September. Only problem is insuring it might prove difficult as well as insuring an omega V6 a tuned aristo and a saxo.

Dusty was advertising a big reduction in costs for the HKS kit as a "Tampax" sale (for a limited period only ) on Supraforums. My problem would be that I have already rebuilt my engine now and I would not want to go through all that again. Unless of course, someone wanted to but my complete engine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
