Was browsing pistonheads today, looking for a reliable sports car - lol, but I couldn't help noticing that Supras seem to have gone up about 3-4 grand since the last time I looked. Not the N/A auto crap - the twin turbo manuals seem to be about 10 grand for a decent one, whereas when I last looked they seemed to be about 6-8k. How can it be that the Supra's hold their values so well? I know Sudesh has got a zed for sale at 10k at the moment, but that is way above the average price of our Zeds (and rightly so in this case).

 

I just don't get it. Any ideas?

The Fast and Furious film and Gran Turismo 1-5 made the car famous

Even since the F & F movies, Supra prices seem to be on the rise. I looked at Supras when I bought my Zed - but couldn't afford one then. Never mind now, by the time I get 10k saved up they'll be way over 20k I expect!

hype and fashion. same as skylines, alot of them like the gts's etc arent worth what they are asked for.

i think you should closer to home about prices for zeds ,

The mk4 supra started in 1993 and ended in 02 while the z32 300 started in 89 and ending in 99 so the supra is a newer car compaired to the 300zx plus there is a lot of tatty 300's about which bring the prices down for everyone.

As soon as the rough one end up as breakers then the 300zx will go up in price imo.

Well the Z's may be cheaper but look around and there aren't too many on our roads. Supra's and Sky's on the other hand are plentiful...dare I say common?!

So for me the Z has way more street cred!!

I don't see many Supras or Skylines about either though really. I don't think it really matters tbh, they're all a lot less common than the usual A-B rubbish that clog the roads. Just don't understand how there can be such a gulf in values (even for similar aged cars).

Are you suggesting that I'm responsible for the low value of Zeds? LOL.

 

If so, I apologise prefusely, but regret - at this time - I will not be able to reimburse anyone for any losses they may have made on their Zeds!

I ALWAYS wanted a Supra, it was my dream to own one - til I had a Zed. Now the only car on my wish list is another Zed!

gotta be down to demand everyone knows what a supra is but uve gotta be into cars to know what a zed is, i dont mind 2bh as snowleopard said more street cred in fact ive only owned mine 3 weeks and ive already had 2 ppl ask me what it is (not including the neighbours one of which thoght it was a brand new car!!) lol

IMHO...... I think the Z32 is by far a rare car on the roads. I take a daily drive on the A14, A11 and M11...... I see lots of Porkers, Scoobys, Evo's, Skylines and Supras.....but and it is a big but........ I hardly ever see a 300zx be it a Z31 or a Z32.

 

Alz.

True - but when a car is as ugly as the Supra people tend to take notice!

lol again true u cant deny their tuning potential thogh any car that can make 600hp on stock internals and 1200hp on a stock gearbox is pretty impressive even if you do have to be seen in the thing

no what i mean is as a forum we are the victims of our own sucess as a club keep hagling down prices on our cars ,if we done the opposite like other forums we would not have this problem ,but you give it a few more years and the good 300s what are left will cross over in value

Couldn't agree more Jason. Amen :cool2:

+ one too....

 

Alz.

Supra prices have always been quite strong, but only when they are either

 

UK Twin Turbo Manual

UK Twin Turbo Auto

 

JDM Manual TT

 

JDM Manual TT Aero Top

JDM Auto TT Aero Top

 

One of rarest of the bunch is the TT Aero Manual and very late 2000/2001 cars. UK cars have also become extremely rare and hold there money very well.

 

I have a UK TT Auto at the moment, but also owned the rest of the variations over the years, the rarest and most unique one I have owned was a 2001 Twin Turbo VVTI which I imported from Japan last year, they have an updated engine and host of other items, plus it was also tiptronic with steering wheel control [almost like paddle shift]

very tidy example, but yeh me too, especially the Pre-facelift version, much sexier than the newer one imo.
