'97 Toyota Supra Turbo

[Shells]

Well, the time has come for me to finally sell it. I've gone back and forth about this decision for quite some time now, but I need to just do it.

1997 Toyota Supra Twin Turbo
6 Speed
83,xxx Miles

Asking $32,000 obo

This car is bone stock with the exception of:

ARC blow off valve
Pioneer head unit w/ iPod connector
Viper alarm
Optima battery
TRD 160 degree thermostat

Obviously, those hardly even count as "mods", but I wanted to express that aside from those minor things, the car is just as it came from the factory. I purchased the car in 2006 with 80,900 miles on it. Today, it has 83,5xx. I've had it for almost two years now and I've put less than 3000 miles on it.

Maintenance
Shortly after I purchased it, the water pump went bad, so I replaced it with a brand new OEM pump. The timing belt had already been replaced, but I figured I'd throw a new one on anyway. I also figured I'd throw the TRD thermostat on there as well. The shifter seal has also been replaced. Finally, I just did the valve stem seals.

The bad
It leaks a little bit from the transmission area. While not confirmed, I believe the clutch slave cylinder is leaking, not the transmission.

If you're interested, or know someone who is, please let me know.

Serious inquiries only!
That statement is as serious as the internet. Look, I'm not trying to be an arrogant bastard, but c'mon - it's a Supra. Everywhere I go in it, I get 938,457,234 guys coming up to me asking me about it or whatever. The last thing I want is for some guy to come waste my time because he wants to drive it around. Any interested buyers can come take a look, ask all the questions you want, and I'll take you around the area.

Questions, comments, lowball offers, and guys from the UK with fake cashier's checks welcome.

[agame001]

nooo! why would you even sell this?!?! don't tell us that you're going to buy and then track the hell out of a 1998 kouki with the money. $32k is a very reasonable price. good luck. you should sell that pontiac instead :D hehe.

[ka24de_s14]

cleanest supra ever glws

[Shells]

Haha, that Firehawk is my roommate's car. He actually just sold it though.

Anyway, I'm selling because I have two cars, a bike, and I'm about to buy a house. I'm really into my bike right now ('07 R6) and I'm not rich enough to dump money into all four of these (240, Supra, R6, house) like I would like to. The Supra sits in my garage almost all the time (hence the under 3,000 miles in two years) so I just don't get to enjoy it enough. Short and sweet, it just doesn't make sense to have it sitting around.

Thanks for the compliments.

[Sonic Motor]

damit I wish i could afford a mk4 supra.
Know anyone that wants to buy my brand new tomei mk4 supra 2 way LSD?

[Shells]

Sorry, I don't know anyone.

[biggiesmalls240]

why isnt 32k sitting around when i need it lol

[exitspeed]

Wow, I can't believe these are going for that much.

Beautiful car.

[YoungGun]

Lots of money! Beautiful car!

[Sonic Motor]

Wow, I can't believe these are going for that much.

Beautiful car.

so you checked KBB too eh?
Hahah I had to do it.

[Shells]

Haha, yes I went to the Toyota dealership the other week to pick something up and about 9 sales reps swarmed the car when I pulled up. While I was inside, I guess they took the liberty of running the VIN to determine the original purchase price and KBB wholesale, etc.

They said there were some options too far back to search, but they estimated the original sale price to be ~$48,000 and the current wholesale KBB value is currently listed at $29,000. They were nice enough to give me the papers they printed out. I'm not quite sure what the difference is (if any) between wholesale KBB and 'regular' KBB?

[jaydmravy]

your making the biggest mistake of your life lol but people have their reasons glws

[number80]

The supra is the only modern day car that is an investment. My cousin could have bought one in 1998 for 20,000 bone stock, but he spent 35k+ on his drag civic since we were delusional and thought we'd make it to the pro level. :2f2f:

Today his civic is a 650hp all cut up drag car and rotting away with no more funds to race. Now the supra's value just keeps going up and they are becoming harder to find.

[Shells]

I know it's a tough decision for me to sell, but I think it's the right one. Hell, even my girlfriend is telling me I probably shouldn't sell it (lol). In time, something else will come along for me.

[HKSdrift3r]

all i can type right now is "wow, that car is immaculate!!!". Good luck man, hope its the right decision.

[WagDatto]

Just saw your ad on supraforums this morning, I even did a quick double-take that I was on Zilvia, because it's rare to see something that beautiful and clean come through this site. That's a rad price, too, for something clean, unmolested and pretty much bone stock with low miles!

I remember seeing the ads a few months ago with stock supras from a few different MKIV years with only like 5k miles on them going for 60-80k... crazy investments!

[Tearlessj]

Wow this is such a low price! I wish I was old enough for something like this. Need a few years to finish school and get hired!

[sirhc]

Sell the S14. lol

[mayco_86]

Interested in any trades by any chance.

[Sonic Motor]

your making the biggest mistake of your life lol but people have their reasons glws

yep yep, big mistake. I wouldnt sell it haha

[khmer1]

damn i wonder if i am able to finance it DAMN I WANT IT

why o why are you selling this sell the 240 and the bike but keep the supra you will be happier when you realize you made a good decision to keep it

[Shells]

Well, that's it guys. Some lady ran a light last night and smacked right into me. Pics coming soon, but I'm pretty sure it's totalled. :(













April Fools!! Haha. Car is still for sale. :) Sorry, no trades.

Edit: Oh, and sell the S14 and the bike? Are you kidding? I would never daily drive this thing. ;)

[dln78]

A 1997 Toyota Supra Twin Turbo with a 6-Speed Getrag transmission with only 83,xxx miles for only $32,000? Don't sell her!! If you do, you will never find a cleaner more immaculate supra in that kind of pristine condition ever again! If I ever get a supra, my wife would have to kill me to make me sell it. I agree with khmer1, sell the 240 and the bike and keep the supra. Or keep the bike and the supra and sell the 240. Man o man... Honestly, you should really keep her. There are not many supra's out there anymore that are clean and stock like yours. By far, your's is one of the cleanest MKIV's left. You should really think about it.

[Shells]

Arg! Shut up guys! :) Someone needs to come buy this thing before I end up changing my mind.

[JtWo]

change your mind. its the right thing to do. its your destiny.

your destiny

[OPTIONII]

do you have the title of the car? I'm very interested!, please let me know. Maybe we can workout something. thanks

[Fred Allen Burge]

Sell the crap out of that thing. Supras are extremely over valued. Seriously. Cash out while they are worth so much and pay down on the house.

Fred
Hey smartguy, the value of that supra will NEVER go down! Especially a 97-98.

[MikeisNissan]

aw man so nice.

[Shells]

Supras projected values for the future can be argued from both sides of the coin. Who knows, perhaps it will join the ranks of the american muscle cars and other such cars shown at auctions. Perhaps not.

Having said that...

http://img160.imageshack.us/img160/1489/kbbsupraxc9.jpg

I've received a few offers already at the "Good" KBB value, which is what I feel the condition of the car is; however, the rarity of the Supra commands a higher price, generally speaking, and a lower mileage stock Supra is hard to find. I think my asking price is fair.

[Will_chinlee]

Thats an awesome price man. Good luck with your sale.
I thought I was the only S14/Supra Turbo owner around here. LOL.
I probably shouldn't say this but I'm asking 26k for my 93 TT 6sp 119k w/ salvaged title... 97 with your mileage and clean title should sell quick. post this up on Supra forums

[Kenji001]

nice supra....GLWS

Yup, it's on Supraforums as well. ;)

[Clearalbino]

Hey just curious a little off topic, but did you ever get work done at the best buy in paradise valley? I think i worked on your car but not sure.

[Shells]

ROFL, yes you did. I had a drain on the battery from the alarm. Interesting to see you here.

[Lordrandall]

Beautiful car. I almost hope you don't sell it. :)

[thedecapitator]

Beautiful car. I almost hope you don't sell it. :) i second this!!! beautiful supra looks like it just came out of the dealer

[Shells]

Ok, due to the amount of interest from out of state buyers who do not want to come to AZ to see it, I tried to take some more detailed pictures to show the vehicle's condition, particularly the imperfections that come with an 11 year old car. I would like for the new owner to know exactly what condition the car is in, so don't hesitate with any questions.

**WARNING** Lots of pictures below.

Front bumper (driver's side). You can see some rock chips here. Also, see the second circle? There's some scratching and a little dent where it doesn't see to line up right. Looks great from 5 feet away, but again, this is all stuff that does exist and you can see up close.

Wheel pictures.

The chrome is chipping off of most of the wheels and there is some curbing on a couple of them, if not all of them. The new owner will need to rechrome them at a minimum, or ideally, get some aftermarket wheels. :)

shit thats clean. glws man

[StatixNWH]

KBB is crap when it comes to Supras and alot of cars for that matter. From what Ive seen, your asking MORE than a better asking price. 6spd 97 with 80k miles is amazing, your price pwns

[MrFairlady]

Bump for fellow supra owner.
My Wife will not let me sell mine if I wanted to.
Driving it latley while I swap an SR in my Daily.Might as well be driving a Lambo as many people "Sweat da Technique" when I do drive it.

$32k actually seems low.You may want to get w/ Jeremy Blackwell (speed for sale) and have him Estimate it..unless thats what your looking for.

93 TT 6spd (singled) hardtop JUST LIKE MINE sold for damn near $40 - Jeremy appraised it too.Not sure if its cuz its hardtop or not like mine but I'd hope mine would fetch that much.

GLWS...I'm @ work & I cant see your pic's.Sucks. :(

[MikeisNissan]

May I trade you my soul?

[Shells]

Year and mileage on the soul? Any pics?

Thanks man! I guess I'll see what happens, as I've already listed it for sale and have some interested buyers. :)

[Shells]

Still available.

[NotoriouS14]

what a super supra..
that ish is hott!!

[Shells]

**Update**

I edited the original post as well. I have reason to believe the clutch slave cylinder is leaking, not the transmission. I haven't confirmed this, but the fluid is sort of a clear honey color. I use Royal Purple Synchromax in the transmission, so it doesn't seem to be tranny fluid. I noticed the clutch fluid was a little low the other day, which leads me to believe it may be that.

I haven't confirmed or priced it out on the Supra, but it cost me like $60-$80 for a new slave cylinder for my 240sx a few months ago, and it was an easy fix.

I also just changed the oil (which had under 1000 miles on it, but it was about 6 months old, so I figured I'd change it) with Royal Purple Synthetic and Mobil 1 oil filter. $50 you don't have to spend right now! :)

[2fast240]

I will give you my sister for this car!!! She is pretty dumb and crashed the car I got her so I wish to get rid of her asap!!! haha

[downshift_sideways]

Well, that's it guys. Some lady ran a light last night and smacked right into me. Pics coming soon, but I'm pretty sure it's totalled. :(













April Fools!! Haha. Car is still for sale. :) Sorry, no trades.

Edit: Oh, and sell the S14 and the bike? Are you kidding? I would never daily drive this thing. ;)

You bastard! My JAW hella dropped...I got a late april fools.

clean car man. Garage it and keep it, a decade from now it will go for 2-3x as much.

[agame001]

hmmm... if you still want to keep a MK4 twin turbo supra, would you consider a trade for a white 95 twin turbo automatic plus some cash? it's my uncle's and it's in very, very good condition. nearly as good as yours. i think he would be interested in closing a deal with you.

[sillydrift]

man thats a nice clean supra! i have driven one and they are fun cars, glws

[koukipurples14]

set me up on a payment plan and i'll take it. lol

[turbo_dreams]

set me up on a payment plan and i'll take it. lol

x2, i can give you about 300 a month for the rest of my life. You'll regret selling her so bad, a friend of mine got one with like 18k miles,exactly like yours, for close to 50 or 60 grand. DON'T DO IT, sell your wife,bike,240, just not the supra.

[str8sidewayz]

im just gunna stare at the pics n keep dreaming..... one day....

[Jodan]

absolutely worth every fucking penny

[Shells]

Thanks for all the kind words.

No trades and no payment plans, sorry. :) I take that back, I'll consider pyment plans that involve me keeping the car until you pay the full balance. ;)

[jrocslider]

wow that car looks new.

a friend of mine bought his 94 black, targa, 6speed, tt for 21k about 5 yrs ago and he sold it last year for 29k.

32k for this is really a steal looking at the condition and rarity of the car.


and you got me with the april fools joke... a single tear ran down my face before seeing it was a joke lol.
