hogmaw Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 Price reduction! I bought this car in 2004 and have taken great care of it and enjoyed it ever since. It was completely stock when I bought it, and the original importer only had it a few months before selling to me, so I'm the 2nd UK owner and I have all receipts & invoices since. The car has been fully serviced regularly once or twice a year by the Supra experts at Phoenix/Whifbitz/SRD, and every recommendation or advice has been attended to, including extras or non-essential maintenance. In short, no expense has been spared in looking after this car and it has been maintained regardless of cost. As I've had the car so long I can answer all questions regarding its history. I much prefer to sell to someone in the club, I've enjoyed the car immensely and have spent a lot of time and money on it - I want to see it appreciated and looked after the same way I've done myself. Reason for sale - 13 years is a long time to own a car, time for a change, that's it! Still, it's hard to let it go. I'll list it for sale here for a few weeks, if no bites then I'll advertise elsewhere. Thanks for looking [GRIN][/GRIN] Specs as per below, more pics in my garage: Mileage: 162k - some of that was in Japan so real mileage is closer to 140k which I can verify.

rider Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 Its unusual for a classified 200 views in to not get any comment so I've buckled. There is one thing that doesn't look quite right with the listing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hogmaw Posted July 11, 2017 Author Share Posted July 11, 2017 I did recommend that he sign up. Apparently Supras in Spain are worth almost double what they are over here. He says it will cost about £5000 just to register it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dnk Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 Madness. Import registration into Spain and put on to Spanish plates depends on the Co2 emissions and can be up to 15% of the vehicles value for starters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
