This 1997 Supra Twin Turbo (VIN#JT2DE82A9V0037071) is Super Black with Tan leather interior, with a 6-Speed manual transmission. It has a perfectly clean title on CarFax.com (email me for a copy of a recent CarFax report on the car.) I have MANY more detailed pictures located at www.SpeedForSale.com/supra9.
This car has a factory warranty on it until this October, and is a one-owner car. It has a several thousand dollar stereo system in it, including: Sony Head Unit, Sony EQ, Soundstream amps, Kicker sub (targa top still fits in the hatch), and all upgraded speakers in the stock speaker locations. SOUNDS AMAZING! The only performance modifications on the car are a GReddy cat-back exhaust and K&N filter. It has freshly painted gloss black calipers with the white 'Supra' logo on them (not shown in the pictures.) The Supra has every option (auto climate control, CD/tape/equalizer, 7 speaker sound system, traction control, etc.) It is a targa top, doesn't appear to have been smoked in (ashtray not stained and no burns in carpet), NO shakes/vibrations on interstate or when braking. I just got the car a month ago to resale because it was such a good deal. It has an alarm/keyless entry system on it. The interior and leather seats are in near perfect shape. There are no rips or stains on the leather seats. To my knowledge the Supra has never seen the track, a dyno, or had the boost turned up on it. The car does not leak or use oil. It has used Mobil-1 it's entire life and has receipts, along with a fresh oil change w/ OEM Supra filter. I have some other maintanence records as well, including the 75k miles service it just had which included a new clutch, timing belt, plugs, fuel filter, etc. The shifter is very firm and tight, feels new. You can put the car in 4th gear at a low mph and floor it (which puts a high torque load on the drivetrain), and the clutch doesn't slip at all. The car has been in the southeastern USA it's entire life, there is NO rust/etc on it. If you are concerned with mechanical issues being a problem (although they are not), be aware that you can get an extension for Toyota's Factory Extended Service Warranty. The car has around 79,900 miles on it. Recently buffed and detailed with Zaino Bros products, paint looks great. If you notice a white spot that looks like a paint chip in the pictures, make sure it isn't the moon just coming out in the sky in the reflection off the paint (it is in several of the pictures.)
After taking delivery of this Supra, I did the following maintanence within the last 300 miles using my factory Supra repair manual's recommendations/procedures....PCV valve/hose (OEM Toyota), Mobil-1 synthetic oil with OEM Toyota oil filter, fuel injection system cleaned, and new 'door ajar sensor'. I also inspected the following and found ABSOLUTELY NO problems: computer was scanned for any engine troble codes (none stored), transmission fluid, EGR filter, EVAP canister operation, differential fluid, fuel cap/gasket, coolant in good shape and full, suspension-to-frame bolt's torque.
The factory 2JZ-GTE 3.0L Twin Turbo is rated at 320 horsepower, but numerous dyno tests show that factory Supras have around 300 HP @ wheels (350 HP @ crank.) It does not have an aftermarket downpipe (the car is emission legal), boost controller, or boost gauge, so i doubt the boost has ever even been turned up on it. I checked the hose clamps that you would have to move to install a boost controller, and they don't look like they have ever been moved (you can see the impression they leave on the hose), I checked the 14mm downpipe-to-turbo manifold bolts and they don't appear to have been turned (which means a downpipe hasn't been on it), and it doesn't have a fuel cut controller on it either. However, if you like I will purchase and install a 3" stainless downpipe/new gaskets, GReddy BCC (fuel cut controller), boost gauge, and manual boost controller for $390 (this will reliably give you over 400 rear wheel horsepower, almost 500 at the crank!)
I won't buy a Supra unless it meets a certain level of quality I look for. I have owned 9 Supra Twin Turbos, so I know what to look for when buying one and how to take care of them. In my opinion they are the BEST mix of luxury, daily driveability, and performance you will find! My first Supra dynoed almost 500 crank horsepower/over 500 crank torque (with only $390 more for parts), could outrun Viper's on the interstate, and was still as driveable as when it was stock. It only takes a straight exhaust and a boost controller to make a Supra have over 400 HP @ wheels RELIABLY (475-500 HP @ crank.) Considering I have had 8 other Supras and 2 Vipers in the past, I have no desire to drive this car hard, as I already know what it is capable of.
As I stated earlier, the Supra has a clean title. The car is FULLY detailed inside/out/underhood/buffed/etc, so all you have to do is add high quality wax (I use Zaino Bros) every couple months. The CARFAX report on this car is perfectly clean, check for yourself if you like. The only dent I can find on the car is a dime sized dimple in the driver's door, it could be removed for about $50 with painless-dent removal. The paint on the front of the hood and front fenders has some marks left by 'love-bugs', but isn't rock-chipped all over the place like many Supras. The car doesn't need anything to be replaced/fixed.
A few Supra owners in the Knoxville, Tennessee area have seen the car and can confirm my statements above, like Matt Chambers (Supra, 300ZX, RX7, Mustang owner), Dave Norman (Supra), Ian Arnsbach (300ZX), Roy Johnson (T78 RX7), Craig Parton (300ZX), etc. I own an auto shop and will sale the person who buys this car any performance parts they want at better prices than they will find ANYWHERE. I have references I can give you of people who have purchased Supras from me in the past, they can tell you they are satisfied with their Supras. I am NOT a dealer, so I cannot help with financing. You can try www.PeopleFirst.com and/or Bank One (1-800-800-LOAN), as I hear they loan large amounts on Supra Turbos. Also, try the bank you currently do business with or your local credit union.
I will ship the car anywhere in the US at your expense. Shipping from here to California is about $750 with DAS. Please feel free to email me your highest offer, but right now I am asking $29,900 obo to end the eBay auction, which is fair given the market value of 6 Speed Supras and the wonderful mechanical condition this car is in...feel free to email me any other questions or your highest offer at Sales@SpeedForSale.com or call 865-556-7223 or 865-774-5481. I will hold onto all offers and if the car isn't sold by Feb. 21, I will consider lower offers. Yes I KNOW that this price is over book value, but I also know the market value on these cars. I am in NO rush to sale the car, so please remember that I am not going to jump on a cheap offer. I will not hold the car for anyone, unless I talk to your bank and they tell me that payment is on the way. I missed several potential sales on my first Supra because people who wanted me to hold the car because they were "definately" buying it backed out! Not trying to be mean, just fair to you AND me ;) I have another daily driver, so the Supra will be sitting in the garage waiting on you... Thanks!
