I put my 2000 Z28 in the paper a couple days ago. I've always wanted to own a MKIV Supra twin turbo. I looked through the autotrader and I see a bunch of them going for over $20K that are 11 years old and have over 100K miles on them. WTF!!!!!!!!!! I mean the car is old. I know it has reoinforced interanls and can hold up to 700 whp on stock internals, but c'mon now. That's alot of dough for an old car. Do you guys think they are overpriced?

yea i think they are over priced but also supply and demand people are willing to pay 20 gs for a surpa so of course people are gonna charge that much and they have a awsome image in the street racing world. some cars hold value and some dont. its like a corvette some are like 1994 or so and 20 gs just bc people love vettes and willing to pay it when surpas came out they were like 40 g or so. simple rules of supply and demand!!!

Yeah they were priced to compete with Corvettes they seemed to hold their value quite well that is until they MKV is released in 2005. Then they will prob drop like the 300z and the Rx7 did.

I've always felt they were overpriced for their level of "out of the box" performance. Certainly they're an attractive and potent car with alot of potential performance, but between the initial cost and the cost of parts you have a level of cost that could get you into some other incredible machines.

For instance, $25,000 can get you into a Porsche 930 (the early single turbo RR 911) which I guarantee you has more potential for performance than the Supra.

They are extremely over priced and thats the singular reason that the car doesnt sell as well as it should. Pretty soon they will out price themselves and no one will buy them anymore... which EVENTUALLY will cause a price drop or the MKV comes out which may never happen

if you want to know what happened to the price of supra's it all started with fast and the furious. Because as soon as that was released people increased the price of supras and wrote little lines saying 'now you can own the car that was the star in the movie the fast and the furious.'

And yes they have been hyper inflatted

infact you could have made money on supra's if you bought a bunch of them just before fast and the furious. Like $5000 a piece.

Toyota have been making supras up untill 2002 in japan. The likely hood of a new supra to go against the RX8 and 350Z is quite high.

i agree after the original fast and the furious their value increased ridiculously

in any case, the only way a supra is overpriced is if you can't afford it... ;)

yes and no its overpriced cause I have no money and want one. But if it got cheaper you'd see a lot more of them riced out. And if that happened I would cry. But it would be cool to see the whole honda civic trend go away

Japan has ben making Supras until 2002? how come i have never heard of this? is the styling the same or different? sorri, i just dont study on Supras THAT much..

sorry but paying over way over 30k on a car that was most likelly heavily abused its overpriced in my book

Agreed, they're overpriced. Unless, of course, you're cross shopping between a ferarri and supra. That's pretty unlikely, though. For 20-30 grand, I'd sonner try to scrounge a r32 GT-R off of motorex, or buy a used porche or NSX.

uhhh im almost positive they stopped production for supras in 1998 with the MKIV, since then there have been MANY rumors about a new MKV but we wont find out until thye actually release it being that Toyota has been very secretive about all future car products

Um, yeah. Supras are overpriced just like late RX7s and to a lesser extent 300ZXs. Hopefully they go down a bit soon so regular folks like myself can afford one. :biggrin:

they stopped production for the US in 1998 but continued it in Japan for a few more years. overpriced....yeah, probably a little but its supply and demand. plus how many cars have stock blocks than can handle well over 700hp? its a great base to start on. you can get mid 400whp for about a grand. most other cars if you wanted to push serious hp you would have to do a lot of engine build up first. may be a little pricey but a pretty rare and impressive car for the $ in my opinion.

way overpriced.
for the 30k that supras go for in california, you could have a way faster car that wasn't in any damn fanboy movie.

Damn for 20-30k buy a 240sx and swap out the motor for a RB and own the supras. 1000hp 240sx :evillol:

Overpriced!

Daaayamn 30K in Cali? you could get a turbo MKIV here in Colorado for like twenty, if you really want a supra go outta state because 30k is bullshit

LOL @ the guys who think Toyota stopped making Supra's in 1998 because they didn't keep selling them in the US. Grey importers are importing the 2002 supra's to England.


the price is probably going to stay high for a long time.

Their value is based on their demand and the fact that there aren't that many around. So, the price goes up.

overpriced. there's much better cars out there, and an import company can get you a newer skyline r34 for about 28 grand

It is kind of ironic that MkIV Supra TT's sell so "high" used, because as many in here likely remember when they first came out as new cars they were sticker priced high as he** and those things stuck to the dealership lots like glue.

I worked for a Volvo dealership in the mid/late ninties, and we had a sister Toyota/Lexus dealership next door. I well remember when Toyota eventually had to drop the sticker price on the TT waaaaay down, as in way over ten grand lower, in order to move the things.

People who had bought Supra's before, and now had a year old Supra that booked for more than someone could buy a new one for...they were kinda upset.

As I recall the sticker-price on a TT Supra before the "reduction" could get pretty close to fifty large. Well over what a Vette would set you back and enough to make you wonder if that 911 wasn't more interesting.

Used it has developed quite the following. But new? Someone in Toyota development was smoking something.

well, that tranny in the 96 up TT could take 900 hp without opening it up which is a bonus.
tranny alone is work 5k.
Don't get me wrong, it is a nice car, but too much for a weekend racer like me. more of a stockbrokers toy IMO.

How exactly can they do that when the car itself costs near 50k and that's just the base if I'm not mistaken so it would be much more for it to be shipped here and then made street legal it's damn near impossible to get a r34 GTR over in NA for any less than 100k.
