I would say between 17-20K although its mint for some reason these cars just dont hold there value. And you will end up payin ALOT more for a supra with ALOT more miles on it but if I had the $$$ id get a supra too...lol

Supras are great cars but why get rid of your mint low mile WS6? I couldnt do it. If you hold out you could prob get 18,000 to 20 with the right buyer. But I say keep it, mod it, and let it continue to not rack up miles in your care.

I think it's worth whatever amount that would make it impossible for you to turn around and buy the Supra.

You realize that yes Supra's are great cars, but very over rated. My buddy has had two, one auto, one stick. The auto had a brand new shortblock, stock turbos, front mount, hard piping, 19 psi, 3600 stall. And that car couldnt even break a 8.9 in the 1/8th.
The stick car was in much better shape, less miles, brand new set of turbos with 22 psi on race gas. He got ripped by a stock ZO6. Pulled him 3 cars from a 60 roll to about 110-120ish.

Now if you already own your WS6 outright, just put a tubro on that sucker and you will have a very nice setup. You could even build the motor for boost and then have a SICK ride.

Oh boy, here we go with the Poopra WORSHIP!!

All of you ers do realize that it won't be long until you CANNOT get parts for them, "JDM", "overnighted from Japan", or otherwise, right?!! Also, as more fanboyzz get their hands on them and crash and destroy them (like that famous imbecile last week), or blow up their "unbreakable"<--
bottom ends from untuned overboost on pump gas, their prices are going to creep past C6Z06 levels (if they have not already for low mile/clean examples).

Now maybe all of you would rather have a 10+ year old TOY; that MUST BE modded (to at least BPU+++++++++++++++++++++++++++ level )to be as fast as, and will NEVER handle like a Z06 (and let's not forget about the 5yr./100K mile warranty, and the riceboyz' fave, MPG!), for the same or MORE cash, but NOT I!!!

But hey, if "y'all" want to be "frumroll" highway stars, by all means, go at it! I hope you have REAL deep pockets.

If nothing else, the Poncho is much better looking than the TOY, so KEEP THE F BODY!!!!!!

I agree with everyone else. You won't find a supra inthe same condition as your WS6. I say keep it. YOu obviously LOVE it to take so good of care. If you are bored or just looking for something different, then toss a nice mod onto it...STS or Procharger.

Thats why you get a six speed, build the motor and throw on a T-88. Then you wont have to worry about anything on the highway. I will own a supra one day, but I will never sell an fbody to get one.
