fastphil666 Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 I know this is a hotly debated subject on the forums. Ive thought about letting my tt auto supra go this year as i have a toddler and another on the way in july. Anyways, i found an evo x for sale at a nearby performance car vendor. It was up for £27.5k, strong money but a very good example. It was on my list as a 4 door saloon thats fun when the kids arent there but can do car shows and cars and coffee when they are. I took my supra along to see what they offered as a px, curiosity mostly. Prices are speculative throughout the community, oh thats worth 35k mate!! I was offered 23.5k for mine from the manager. He wasnt on site and had 2 pictures and a brief description from the salesman. The usual spiel of we could get lumbered with it for months. I dont feel insulted by his numbers, i was never going to do a deal with the evo, just wanted to see what one was like. My car is a '96 facelift import with 48k miles, a few good mods but not original bodied. Whats everyone's oppinion on that price? Thats the first offer ive had but privately id want a few k more than that. Pics for reference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Supes Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 If you don't feel insulted by his numbers I'd be interested in taking if off you for 23k. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bender Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 Simple dont sell cars to traders they need to pay less to make some money. I am 100% sure if they bought it off you it will priced at £37k very next day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annabella Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 They were either taking the piss, or haven't a clue on value. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrGRT Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 Difficult to assess your car without more details but at least now you know the floor or the get out of it quick value Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mc92 Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 ebay prices are inflated and always have been, but an offer from a dealer will be a lowball because they want to make as much money as they can. I'd go with somewhere in between. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampy442 Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 This place is the least credible place to ask for a valuation. The only way to truly gauge what its worth is to see what recent cars have sold for, which of course, nobody ever tells you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know at its lowest its worth 23.5k. I know full well he'd stick a chunk on it to sell. If people shared what the cars sold for we could have our own market value on this club site. I dont see how anyone who bought a supra a few years back would be insulted by that offer as you probably paid half that for your car?! I have/had no interest in selling my car for that little but like i say its the first indication of value ive seen. Ebay is madness, most 30k cars there have done at least 2x my mileage, jeez I saw an NA on facebook for 20k today!!! Obviously when you sell a car, you want the most as possible but i dont see any of these 30k auto's actually sold!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastphil666 Posted May 21, 2022 Author Share Posted May 21, 2022 Its a 96 facelift but a pre vvti. Looking at the price of parts i could break it for more than they offered Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree it would be nice to see what other cars have sold for to get a better idea of what they're selling for, but classic car prices increasing isn't new. It's simply supply and demand and let's be honest, they simply don't make these kind of cars anymore which has also increased their value.

Big Supes Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 A couple of cars that apparently sold on ebay... NA - 6sp (SZ-R) £36k TT Auto - 24k. No idea on grade of each vehicle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradleyh_15 Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 Put it up for 10k more than you actually want. Something is only worth what someone is willing to pay and some people will pay more than others and you may get lucky. No point going off what has sold before and in different countries as with supras most are modified, not always well kept and sometimes bodged Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im a Supra owner so Im not trying to junk the market, Im sitting pretty thanks very much, but when people toss out 20k valuations for NA autos, theyre off their heads. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Supes Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 I think the easy way to check the current market is to have a phone around and see how much it'll cost you to import another in identical condition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You won't sell in that case. Just look at those advertised here for months which are cheaper than one imported and don't sell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a sellers market when the car people want are few and far between. I'm not sure which cars you're referring to which haven't sold.
