I want to sell a 1985 Toyota Celica Supra

[JC965]

This Toyota Celica supra is in almost mint condition aside from a hole in the drivers side turn signal (in pictures) on the front of the car, a dent behind that (also in pictures) and an engine problem (most likely a piston). Other than this the car is in beautiful condition and has never seen a winter. It has had only one previous owner before me. There is absolutly no rust whatsoever on this car. The frame is in perfect condition. The rest of the cars mechanical engineering is in perfect condition, and everything else works wonderfully. It also has a power sunroof, power windows, and the subwoofers in the trunk are included. Below the subwoofers is a brand new full size spare tire on a brand new toyota celica supra rim (as seen in pictures). In the trunk, there is also a pull down cover that hides the subwoofers. There is also a cubby hole in the trunk that fits most size amplifiers and conceals them nicely. This is an amazing deal on a rare car! The only reason i'm not replacing the engine on this car, is because i can only afford one car, and this one is impractical for buffalo weather. If you have any questions please feel free to e-mail me at mooney_who@yahoo.com.

No strings attached, no bullshit, I just want to sell this car for $2,000.00 If you are interested in seeing pics. of this car Just email me, and I'll send them.

Let me guess... yours is the SDR which failed to meet reserve on ebay today?

I wld be very interested in your unused spare tire/wheel if youre willing to separate. Please drop me an email directly... its linked from my profile.

And no smart jokes abt buying the wheel for 2K and get the free car!!! :D

[CELICA XX]

Don't try to scam us... Greg has documented every Supra sold on eBay since 1998.

[Talksoup]

The"Introduce yourself"thread must be full of NEW people that are here to add or gain knowledge to the forums.
What do you think makes your car RARE?Mine came with a full size spare as well.Oh I get it,you got the 'pull down cover' option.Japs musta' known we whiteys would have Bass.

Post pics or we can't take you seriously man,everyone has a RARE car for sale,get in line.

[JC965]

A member of this forum told me I could get more response here. I'm just trying to sell my car. Not trying to nickle and dime parts off of it (sorry guys), so the straight deal is written on my last post. If there is no takers then so be it, but don't try and call me a scam artist.

[JC965]

Tell me how to post pics. on here and I'll be glad to

I was just kidding you...

Hi there, I'm about 30 miles away from you. I would definitely be interested in your car if it wasn't for the price. As "rare" as you think these cars may be, none of them are worth $2k with a blown engine, and a piston issue basically equates to being BLOWN.

Wish you the best of luck trying to sell it for that price. You would have better luck parting it out on this forum

[Talksoup]

Cut and paste,just like you did with your E-Bay Ad.Nice work an that.Yeah I'm an ass,but it perplexes me why you are just now becoming a member here,how long have you owned your car?
At best you are going to get 1k...maybe,just maybe,if the car IS rust free,Trust me,I know a rust free MKII when I see one,or own it.
Hey Greg,can I get a Hell Yeah?!:duh:

[JC965]

sorry, no thanks

[toyfan]

i just paid 1400 for trim tanya. saying there is no such thing as a 2000 $ supra without an engine is a bit much.

I am sure there are a few guys here who might want more than 2k for their supra even without the engine.

[JC965]

i've owned the car for a year, and its never seen a winter, so theres no rust anywhere, give me a sec im trying to upload the pics now

If you have $10,000 in bodywork and paint I can see that, but we aren't talking about that are we?

I'm sorry, I have a Mk2 with a blown engine in my driveway right now, that has tons of modifications that I tried to sell for $600 OBO.

I don't see this car being picked up.

[Talksoup]

I saw your E-bay ad.What makes this car so rare?This site has THE most informed group of car geeks on the web,and I could drive to the houses of atleast five people(that I can think of)that forgot more than I will ever know about these cars....so how rare is your SDR?

[JC965]

this car has had no modifications, has never been restored, all origanal parts, and has never been in any accidents.

[toyfan]

drop a 500 $ engine in and ask 3k

[Talksoup]

drop a 500 $ engine in and ask 3k

Now your talking...:duh:

[Tanya]

drop a 500 $ engine in and ask 3k

Meh.. if he could find a decent running engine he could ask for more and get it I'm sure.


Got a carfax handy on this car?

[JC965]

Look folks the facts are all here, the pics. are all here I'm not looking to work on it, drop money into it, I'm not a car fanatic, it doesn't have any sentimental value to me, I am not looking to sit on a forum all night, I just want to sell my car. Cool

[Eric]

Good luck with the sale!

If you don't care if you have to sit on it a while, keep the 2k asking price...someone might come along. If you want it gone quick(a month or so), ask 1k for it.

Eric

[Talksoup]

So show up,post an ad,piss us off and....go away.WTF?Sell the fucking thing to some dumb teenager,and get on with your life.Unlike you,WE work on our cars,WE drop mad money into them,WE are car fanatics,WE all do have sentimental ties to our MKII's,and yes,some of us do sit on this forum all night.Cool

lol, take some breaths, count to 10, it'll be ok.

This person is not a car enthusiast, so he doesn't really know exactly what he has. I'm sure he considers the car rare as their really aren't many Supras around here. There's only 2 other forum members besides myself that are around Buffalo. I've been here for almost 6 months and have not seen another Supra here besides my own and Joe Shantz'.

I guess it's best for all of us to remember...
"a car is worth whatever someone is willing to pay for it".

[Superium]

Hi JC, Im the one who emailed you to post it on the forum. Sorry about some of the other members remarks and opinions. The car is really nice especially for being in B-lo its whole life from what I remember the previous owner told me but yeah the blown engine really hurts the value unless you find the right buyer.
That '85 in the local paper I was talking to you about actually was in slightly better condition then yours and had a perfect running engine for $2k. Im kicking myself in the ass right now for not buying it.
Anyways I would give you a low-ball offer but I doubt your interested. Good luck with the sale!

[OUT OF KILTER]

lol, take some breaths, count to 10, it'll be ok.


I guess it's best for all of us to remember...
"a car is worth whatever someone is willing to pay for it".

I agree and am willing to give $800 for it.

[JC965]

i have a few offers pending right now, but i might be willing to go slightly lower, depending on weather or not these offers fall thru. I do appreciate the helpful comments though.

[JoeBWanKenobi]

If the body is rust free, I would hit it for $1200, because I already have a supra. I have a supra with rust, and I will just transplant.

[Tomkat]

I quess is depends on were you are as to how rare these cars can be. I see lots of crappy Supras around here, but I paid a grand for granny's automatic last year with a bad engine and have not seen anything close to this condition expect a couple of garage queens that went for over 4 grand. I can replace engines, but I can't replace a clean body and interior without many hours of work trying to find parts and then fixing it. With that said, 2 grand is too much. Oh yea, how many miles are on that car?? That can make a big difference as well.

[Drift_Supra]

try putting it on autotrader or parking it in a local mini-mall parking lot. That's how I found mine when I bought it years ago. People here are willing to pay BIG BUCKS for Mk2 supras, but only if they are in PERFECT condition. other than that, you will probably get less than book value here due to the fact that everybody here has one.

[85midnightsupra]

you should replace that corner light! its a easy fix; then there wouldnt be any imperfections on the body....... its a nice car btw, give it a nice buff and wax and more people would want to jump on it........... shine sells!!

[JC965]

about 85,000

[JC965]

cool, thanks for the tips guys!

[Malchick]

Yea I'd would agree that if you dropped an engine in for like 500 bucks you could easily get 3k+ for it.

Its in great shape and it is a VERY desirable color combo, super deep red with black interior.

[JC965]

If you guys are saying I could drop 5 hundo for an engine....and are telling me to sell it for over 3? Why not pick it up as is for $2,000, drop the 500 dollar engine in yourself, and save youself the loot? Afterall you are the car fanatics here aren't you?

I picked the car up for $3,500 (blue book by the way) last year, without a blown piston, without the hole in the turn signal, but with the dent in the fender. I am already knocking off $1,500 for it and asking for $2,000. So with that known, you are telling me that you could spend $500 on the engine and um...$20 tops for a plastic cover for the turn signal, which would bring it up to about what,
$2,520?......and you guys are saying I could sell it for over 3 with that being done...yeah something doesn't sound right there..... $2,000 sounds fair for this car.

[Eric]

This is alot of discussion for a for sale thread...

That being said, I'd say you have a $2500 car there if it ran great. As is - you're more in the $1000-$1500 range. You paying $3500 last year was just too high.

Let's preface this all and say that this is not the place to get top dollar for a MKII Supra, everyone here is a fixer-upper kind of car enthusiast with typically more than one MK2. People here will gladly jump on a deal - you're better off working the ebay or autotrader route to find someone who just likes the car, but it will be a tough sell without it running. Good luck!

Eric

[Tanya]

but it will be a tough sell without it running. Good luck!

Eric


This is basically the bottom line here... not many people want to buy a non-running car for $2,000, and the value of these cars hasn't really appreciated all that much yet.

[85midnightsupra]

yup, and not everyone here is a do it yourself kinda person. take me for example, i wouldnt pay $2000 for the car as it is, but i would pay $3500 if that engine was fixed...... some people just want to deal with the hassle of "putting in a another engine" b/c someone like me would have to pay lots of $ to have another engine put in....

[turbogoo1]

I would take it if it was a different color.

[Black_fin]

Awww, Fozzie cheer up, it's ok. :)

[Phil G.]

Fixer uppers....how much would you be willing to pay for a rust free shell? The car has low miles and is supposed to be rust free. I must be the only one missing something here.

I'd rather spend $2k for a rust free, low mileage car that I could fix mechanically (i.e. if I knew how) as opposed to $2k on a MK2 that runs great and has body cancer - which would ultimately cost more than $2k to fix/paint.

:twocents:

[Sawbladz]

^^^^I agree. I have a $200 Mk2 right now that I will be doing a TON of body work to. The interior and engine are mint so a rust free shell is right up my alley. However, I'm in University and broke as hell...so that dream will have to wait. Good luck with selling the car. Im sure someone will give you a decent offer, though I doubt it will be exactly what you are looking for.

[Greg G]

Im sorry.... 85K or not... this car is not close to being a cream puff, or even remotely well maintained.

[JC965]

yes, so i suppose thats why i just sold it for 2500? Fuck all you assholes, half of you dont know shit because your too busy spending time in this forum then actually out learning about the cars. Ohhhh and now a ton of people are going to be pissed cuz i said to go fuck yourselves. Say whatever the fuck you want because i wont be coming back to this forum! And Greg, this car was babied not even remotly maintained my ass FUCK YOURSELVES!

[Junkie]

:new_mofug :rolleyes:

Whatever you say.If you actualy got that kind of money,good for you,but the car was/is not worthy of that kind of price.I can buy cars like that weekly in the PacNW for $8-1500,usualy running.

[Greg G]

As they say... theres an ass for every seat. Congratz on the sale.

[Tanya]

Heh... I'm pretty sure I get to lay my hands on this car (as I just found out who the new owner is)

so we need not worry anymore (I can't blow up an already blown engine can I??)


heheheh

[85midnightsupra]

most of us said its not worth what your asking b/c we know what these cars are worth.... you just got lucking and found someone willing to pay that much for a non-running supra.......
what a idiot, and to top it off, he acts hard on a website...... wow tough guy, you really stood up to us.......... typical wannabe badass, come over here to chicago and act like that in the streets

good thing we have tanya around, im sure that car is going to be runnin smooth with another engine put in..... and the new owner seems pretty cool too....

[suprablazed]

lets kick him in the teeth just to say we did! hehe

[JC965]

Heh... I'm pretty sure I get to lay my hands on this car (as I just found out who the new owner is)

Nice rat laugh, but it actually turns out that I blew off the motherfucker you know so that I can sell it to someone else for $2,500! So I guess you can keep your greasy anime hands to yourself for now heh heh heh. . .

thought you werent coming back

[CELICA XX]

What's a rat laugh ?

[SilverMk2]

Folks just back the #$^& off this is retarded. Is the price high, yes! Who cares, why argue endlessly about it? Nobody in this thread is going to buy it, let the market decide the price. :twocents:

[JoeBWanKenobi]

yes, so i suppose thats why i just sold it for 2500?

Ah, so after you offered it to me for $1200, you found a buyer that met your price. Good for you. It would have been nice for you to have TOLD me that you SOLD the car before I made several long-distance phone calls over THREE DAYS to your answering machine, house, and cell with no replies or feedback what-so-ever.

I normally don't post private messages, but here we go:


Dude, the car is in the same condition as the pictures, I took them about 3 weeks ago? yeah about that long ago. But I would def. come down on this price and take $1,200.00 for it, the only spot of rust is behind the broken turnsignal which is on the corner of a dent....these are all in the pics, look closely and you can see a little bit, but it would be easy to touch something like that up, I assume...

I am not too determined to get $2,000.00 for it anymore because of the greef I've been getting for that price, so I will sell this car for $1,200.00

You can get ahold of me anytime tomorrow or the next day my # is 716-XXX-XXXX. Do you live near buffalo? You may have to get this ar towed...We'll talk about the details when you call.

Thanks for being honest with me about the price and whatnot.

[suprablazed]

WOW! i stand by my guns..we should KIck him in the Teeth!!! but JoeB gets first shot.

And Greg, this car was babied not even remotly maintained my ass FUCK YOURSELVES!

thats not very nice, bud... somebody has a poopy mouth. first of all man how do you get off saying none of us learn anything about our cars on this forum? its not like we are on a mk2 specific forum... oh wait. we are. this is collectively one of the most knowledgeable groups of toyota owners you will ever come across. second, if the car was so well maintained then how is it that you only had it for a year and you managed to blow the engine and bust the turn signal? you must've really babied it. anyway i know i have no interest in the sale of this car i guess i just have a problem minding my own business.

[Junkie]

Nice rat laugh, but it actually turns out that I blew off the motherfucker you know so that I can sell it to someone else for $2,500! So I guess you can keep your greasy anime hands to yourself for now heh heh heh. . .

Somebody's lying,and I would venture to believe the new owner,as he doesn't have an attitude :loser: :inout7xr:

[kornkid]

this is absolutely ridiculous. how can a person get so pissed off about most of the people just trying to help. i only hope we are lucky enough to never see him on here again.

[RedP85]

hey
i ended up giving $1500 for it.
