How much should I pay for a MA61 parts car? Sat, 23 August 2003 05:41 Go to next message
Hey all,
just came across a parts car at a wrecker that is remarkably similar to mine (except mine is in much better condition!).
Summary of it's condition:
1. Looks like an early Euro spec (5MGE + W57)
2. Lots of rust & bog
3. Engine doesn't run - 2 dud cylinders. Looks like someone has whacked a 6M intake on it (pulley arrangement is same as early 5MGE)
4. Interior is crappy
5. Has factory flares but only on the back??
6. Has all the Supra badges on it (not XX)
Can anyone give me an idea of:
a) what I might expect to pay?
b) once I've stripped it how much will it cost me to get rid of it?

Any info much appreciated.

Peter

Whats it worth to you?

The only parts that you could salvage from what i can make of it is:

Rims $300
Flares $100 (EDIT: $100 for 2)
Manual conversion gear $600

So thats $1100 of useful stuff perhaps?

Thats only rough price estimates of what someone like myself is willing to pay.

Thanks BlackSupra. Minor correction re the rims - it only has the tacky non Supra rims on it so they won't be worth much.

and the above edited maths comes to $1000

but without rims the flares and manual conversion are all thats going for it.

So i wouldn't pay more than $700 for it!

But mind you, tidy manual ma61's are hard to find these days, always seem to be auto's!

A manual conversion may come in very handy down the track.

But don't spend an amount now that you can always tack ontop of the purchase price of another car with a manual in it!

Thanks for the info fellas. Looks like no more than $700 it is.
V8_Supra - the early Euro spec models didn't have power mirrors (or climate control), so I can't help you there (Crissida Supra probably can't either). I will want to keep the power window switches as spares for mine anyway.

Cressida Supra - how much did it cost you to get rid of the car once you had stripped it?

What colour interior is it, and what condition? If the seats are in good condition, you can always sell them to a celica owner. I.e. me Smile

Sorry - the seats are pretty scungy + freight from Perth to Tassie might be a bit much

The wreckers wanted $1500 for it!!!!!
I dunno what planet they are on but I'm not paying that for a parts car with crappy interior, rust/bog in the body & an engine that doesn't run. BTW it does have a 3.73 LSD in it & 5M with 6M inlet/plenum.
Thanks to those who replied.
