The sickness is being spread to all facets of this hobby we love. First it was anything with a prancing horse or an emergency number in its name. Now, even our beloved tuner & import cars are beginning to suffer. Wear your N95 mask, and take your vitamins, I don’t want any of you catching the bug after viewing this Supra!
A classic Florida suntan... from Mississippi.
This is a 1994 Toyota Supra TURBO! It has the right engine with the 2JZGTE and the right transmission with the row-as-you-go six speed manual. It’s even a desirable color being black... errr mostly black.... errr mostly dark?
Love that two tone black and lesser-black.
This Supra recently sold on eBay for a staggering $35,600. Sure you’ve got a low-ish mile car with 103,068 shown on the odometer but... IT NEEDS PAINT.
The original Hot Boi tunes came from here.
Having owned one car with a fantastic repaint, I’ll be the first to tell you this won’t be cheap. My former Camaro required seventeen thousand bones to get to a flawless orange. Black on the other hand can be mighty tricky and expensive for a body guy to get right - and right you’ll want it.
A car this expensive isn’t worthy of a piece meal paint job. Do it all or do nothing.
The MKIV Supra is a rising star, and will continue to eclipse autos in value that we couldn’t fathom ten years ago. Could the Toyota Supra become the next bubble? Or is it destine to become the Hemi Cuda or Challenger of our generation? If this car is any indication - we average men are screwed - ‘more than you can afford pal, Supra’.
Should have stopped driving it four thousand miles ago to keep it under 100k. Why? The psychology of the five-digit odo foo!

I wouldn’t paint it. I’m digging the natural patina paint on it.

It’s a 1994, even at a low 10k/year this thing should have 250k+ on it.

Looks like it would decimate all with about $10,000 in overnight parts from Japan.

That’s a great excuse too if you don’t have the money to paint it.

Exactly. It’s a “survivor”. But it doesn’t matter anyway, it’s gone. :(

It was already relisted once. Maybe twice?!

Not surprising. It doesn’t cost much to relist it.

There’s a lot of ways to to look at this.
They’re selling it - putting 17k into it will not gain 17k in revenue. They will lose money. And they may pick a color where the new owner paints it anyways.
Also, I love the way it looks. I can’t wait until my z06 paint looks like that! I will keep it meticulous mechanically, and it will be clean inside and out, but I like the look.
To each their own.

Right now I don’t think they’d make their money back but man... Supra prices are getting stupid. I wonder what this same car will be worth in another 10 years?!
