98 Supra VVT-i twin turbo - IMMACULATE!


Recommended Posts

With much reluctance, I am putting my baby up for sale.

In the one year that I have owned it, this car has been showered with TLC, and is one of the best kept Supras you will lay eyes on.

History:

• Build date July 1998

• Rare Quicksilver colour

• One Japanese owner

• Auction grade 4

• Imported by me through J-Spec Imports in mid 2004

• Just under 70000 kms at time of import

• Currently 81000 kms

• Modifications – brand new aftermarket brakes, wheels, clutch, suspension, car security (detailed below)

• Services (detailed below) – one major service at time of import (timing belt, spark plugs, clutch, all engine fluids, etc etc), one minor service at 75000kms

• NO ENGINE MODS! Never boosted, raced, or abused

• Engine warmed up for 10 minutes before each and every run, and idled for 2 minutes before shutting off, to reduce thermal stresses on engine and prolong engine life

• All gear changes made before 3000 rpm to prolong engine life

• Washed every week, waxed every month

Location and Pricing:

The car is currently located in Newcastle, NSW, but I am down in Sydney approximately once a month.

The asking price is $44000, which a steal for a car in this condition - I guarantee you that the first serious buyer to see the car will purchase it.

Any professional inspection is welcome.

SORRY, NO TEST DRIVES!

I can be contacted by email at

[email protected]

or leave a message on 0417068664

Best wishes in your search for a great car!

** BONUS OFFER **

I'm going to include the original Volk GT-C wheels (as pictured above) in the purchase price, as well as the WORK VS-TXs that are on the car at the moment.

The Volks are worth $3600 by themselves.

There's already been a fair bit of interest in the car, so the bonus wheels are a bit of a deal sweetener.
