Possibly not an IS-F owner for much longer?

We'll see, as some already know, I have had an interest in a certain rare Supra for well over a decade. The owner was kind enough to let me know he plans on selling it from his collection, and I am therefore trying to raise the money I need to buy it from him.

Given the zero interest shown thus far, I am pretty confident I will be holding on to it. Not that I have any issues with that whatsoever, but I promised myself I would at least try and sell it if this other car ever came up for sale.

It's nice to feel like the end result is a win/win situation regardless of the outcome.

Well it will be a shame if it does go, you'll have to vet potential purchasers and get references 

I am surprised you've not had much interest, wish I had the cash lol.

As you say, I'm sure you will be happy whichever way things turn out. Good luck in any case.

Thanks Bob.

Thanks Stu.

Got it up on eBay chap. PistonHeads is rubbish! They don't have an IS-F section, nor will they add one. Means you get lumped in with any/all other IS models.

 

[Stuno1]

Ah ok. I had a lot of interest through autotrader chap. Good luck with the sale fella.

Mission: To not own a 'normal' car, so far I've succeeded with a Lotus Elise S and put 15k on in a year, then an S4, but before these I had a Defender 90 TD5, a TDV8 RR-S, and XC-70 and an Impreza GB270. Plus my wife's town car is a Discovery 4.

Not sure if you are interested, but as a bit of heads up on my search process for an ISF, I looked at

1. Autotrader

2. Pistonhead. From the website, I selected IS with an engine size greater than 4 litres.

It never occurred to me to use eBay.

Hope that helps.

When I sold my VXR8 , eBay had much more response but the only 2 genuine buyers were from my pistonheads advert.

Everyone on eBay wants a cheap bargin or are time wasters in my experience. 

Autotrader is good but very expensive.

Just purchased mine today. Never been in anything like it. Can see myself having many happy years in this magnificent car! Ohh and 25 - Armed Forces.
