Fair market value? Your opinions.

I have a friend who is a big Supra fan (he's been looking for the longest time for a decent low-mileage 6-speed one for under $30,000) and he just sent me this link:

http://www.suprastore.com/19tosutwtu6s1.html


Funny how the description mentions that the car was kept in a climate controlled environment and never driven in any sort of inclement weather as to justify the insane price.

A new Skyline GT-R, C6 Z06, or a 9-year old Supra?


I know what I would choose.

What about you?

"The vehicle only has a couple small buffing flaws and some very minor scratches, which is the reason why it is being offered at 77,000 and not $90,000"
If some small buffing flaws and minor scratches are really worth $13K, I'd get those fixed asap and put the price up to the higher value. That in itself makes me question the sanity of the seller.

I would get a GTR over the Z06 because it has 4WD and a back seat. Supras are nice, but it's still a 10 year-old car with 77k miles and no warranty.

It's going to take a while to get your hands on the GTR though, unless you're willing to pay ridiculous markups. I'm very interested in a GTR, but will take a wait and see approach.

I have a space heater in my garage, so you could argue that my car is kept in a climate controlled environment. This guy/car is a joke at that price, move on.
