Value of Supras

[Skam9685]

I passed up on a 91 turbo automatic for 2,000 in decent condition. That was because I didn't want to wait for the person to make up their mind. So I bought what I didn't have to wait for, a 87 turbo in about the same condition for 1,800. I regret and I'm prolly going to see if she is still selling it.

In my country Supra have relatively good value...
Good Supra after general repair, good paint and full equipment cost about 70 000 Kc (Korun ceskych > crowns), that is about 2916$..

Hang on, hang on - is that the TOTAL production numbers from the toyota assembly line - or just the year totals for the US and not the rest of the world?

In addition, you can pick up a Supra here for anything from £350 to £1200 for a good one (the fuel costs and insurance are a major contributor to the low prices - you can buy a Jag XJS for under £1000)

Those are US numbers.

If I ever buy another Supra it would be a 91-92. I bought my 88 because it was a good deal and in good condition. Also, options are pretty limited up in Canada since most cars are rust buckets. I am currently trying to complete the 89+ conversion that was started before I got the car. I think I will be much happier with the look of the car once it is 100% 89+ on the outside.

I have recently been considering the value of my car. Supra's are pretty scarce up in Canada so I think that would help it's value. It's in good condition and has what I consider tasteful mods. The only thing that would keep me from asking alot for the car is the mileage. It has roughly 235000km or 146000 miles. This is alot of mileage when compared to other cars even though my car would be in better condition. I would like to think I could get ~8-9000 for the car up here and I don't think I would ever sell it for less. If it doesn't sell at that price I would just store it in the garage as a fine exaample of garage art. lol

I'm sure my 91' is up there with the 92' status =]

 

[Poodles]

dunno about you guys.... I prefure the 89 model year because it has the best steering wheel...

airbag wheel FTL...

not to mention the small center console and flip up compartment because of the airbag computer...

If it was imported from japan, sure, I'll take a 93 please....

I'd love to own a Turbo A as well, if you're talking about rarity...

Well chime in here what should a mint turbo mk3 be valued at (exterior,interior, no mechanical issues).

On similiar topic all the people with 2jz's, 1jz's how is your car insured/what would they value it at?

 

[Poodles]

I got ripped on my car, but it WAS the exact combo I was searching for...

$6K is reasonable for a good condition car in my eyes...

I went to a supra meet last spring. As usual it was mostly MK4 supras and only 2 MK3's including me. What I noticed was that most of the MK4's there were really showing age (faded seats, worn down carpet, faded paint). My 92 MK3 looked just as good or better than some the MK4's there. It amaises me that these guys can still get $25k+ for these cars just because of there so called "potential".

I believe an MK3 can still get OK money, but it has to be in very good condition. But it will never get that much because of the reputation it has. When people think about MK3's, they think of BHG's and crappy condition, and not making 700rwhp and running 10 second 1/4 miles.

^^^^There's quite a few guys working hard to change that

itll never change.. why all hondas wiht loud fart cans are ricers.. just a stereotype that will never change as long as there are poeple out there reinforcing it.

 

[pimptrizkit]

^^ I've seen and head a few hondas that had exhausts that sounded good, but when they throw a huge muffler that makes their car sound obnoxious, thats why they are called ricers. They prove the stereotype in my opinion.

 

[novaboy009]

So I guess my ($600 + $500 in parts) N/A Auto falls on the low end of the value chain LOL.

Kev

 

[ValgeKotkas]

I'd say, important is, how valuable the car is for you... So mine is probably....pretty valuable

I think the stereotype of the average MK3 owner is slowly changing.

These cars are getting old. Even good examples are being to break down. Kids that are looking for a cheap frill are being put off by the infamous BHG and rod knock problems. People who can't afford to repair are selling them onto people who are willing to give these cars the treatment they deserve.

I paid 6200 for mine, but it had some work done to it.....turned out to be half-assed shoddy work, but nothing too hard to fix....LOL!

Yeah, I find the MkIV hype to be complete bullshit. I mean, Blue Book for a mint '92 is about 7G's, give or take a few hundred, and you jump to the next year, the first year of the MkIV, and it more than doubles.....WTF????? And that's if both cars are identical in condition and mileage, and as close as possible to each other in configuration/options....

Yeah, join the club! Doesn't really matter as long as you like the car and don't plan to sell any time soon.
