How can this be?

[25GTT]

Hi all,

Well I have to put in my two cents worth on this one!! I went to Skipper Mitsubishi on Sunday and saw a NON turbo, NON aero top white supra, standard spoiler kit. I asked the salesman how much and he said $45,000!!! I could not beleive it! he had also told me friend the same figure! Through personal imports auctions i see cars like this going for $22,000 on sites such as prestige motor sport www.prestigemotorsport.com.au

Anyway it was a 96 model car so i will give them credit that it is a kinda newer model, HOWEVER when i opened up the somewhat tiny boot i was astonished to see the boot with water EVERYWHERE! i questioned him about it and he said "oh we had it steamed cleaned" i shook my head in disbeleif!

I am not one to put a car company down as they have to make money and unlike personal importers they have warranties on their cars, however whay is this car going for $45,000? i would rather an R33 GTR from c-red!

absolute rip off!!

I really think the main reasons behind that price are;

a) Southside Mitsubishi would have no idea about a Toyota Supra, especially considering it is not aus spec.

B) They are jumping on the import bandwagon and want to rip off any potential boy racer who wants the 'look' of a Supra.

Found out for myself when I was looking for Skyline how much of a rip off this pricks are. For the same car (speaking in condtion, Km,etc) these guys charge about $5000 to $10000 more. And none of the cars their had the "goodies" that other yards had.....

just my observation

Skippers are a rip off.

I was at Skippers Imports about 3 months ago having a look.

They had a 95 GTST with 60 on the clock. The only mods from standard were a set of 18inch volks.

They were asking 31g's. When I asked the guy why so much, he got really defensive and told me that they did a heap of work to the car, then proceeded to tell me all the work that they do to their cars......which was standard compliance work.

He asked me if I was looking for a Skyline and I told him that I had just imported my own. He then walked off rather sheepishly.

I would suggest never buying from these rip off merchants.
