85 Supra

Alfred · 01-14-2006, 01:17 PM

The car is the same shape as yours, but is maroon in colour. The paint is real crap, but the body looks decent. Haven't had a good inspection or drive yet, but I just wanted to get an idea of what the ball park value would be.

Could well be that the owner gave me the wrong rego year/build.

By the way your Supra looks like a real killer! Love the work you have done to it, reminds me of the extend I went to with an X19 over 20 years ago!! Squeezed a 2liter Beta engine into it!

Hmmm..... really odd. The car is definitely a MK3, but the rego says year of manufacture is 85.

Something fishy here. Could the importer have fudged the documentation to take advantage of something?

Is there a way to find out the year of manufacture from the chassis number?

i think if you open the driver door and look by the latch it has a strap with the year of manufacture.

ok, confirmed that the car is a 86 car. 2.8 non turbo. All seems to be in working order, full options, including cruise. It has the auto box.

Asking is about 3k, is it worth that?

j3pz · 01-16-2006, 06:33 PM

maybe 3k after a paint job and if the body is ok and engine runs. id ask them to throw in a basic pj and take it for 3k

What's the cost of a decent paint job? Guess you get what you pay for, but any idea what the ball park figure is?
