This sports car has seen better days.
It’s not surprising to find a junked performance car in a salvage yard. The new Toyota Supra is still our favorite, despite the fact that it was launched in 2020 after years of hype from Toyota and fans of the name. Some dealerships decided that the 335-horsepower sports car was more valuable than a new Porsche 911. We hope no one caved.
Relax, Supra Drivers
We think this model might be a good deal if you don’t have a Supra and are still Supra-shopping. This car is in need of some minor repairs, including a front fascia and hood, fenders, bumpers, fenders, airbags, and engine. It also needs to be spent a bazillion hours using a frame-straightening device, as well as an interior detail to remove pee stains. This poor car saw some serious action during its short life. It has 576 miles on the odometer. However, the rest of it looks pretty good despite the fact that the front clip suffered severe damage.
It is being offered by Iaai.com, and is currently resting at their Long Island, NY location. It’s listed as a Launch Edition model. However, the absence of red mirrors, interior trim, and loadRecent=true suggest that it is a standard model. We don’t know the details of how the collision took place or if any injuries occurred. This feature is a bit snarky, but we have seen several Supras crash, and each time the extensive damage in front of the cockpit shows little to no intrusion. The car’s BMW roots are evident, but the interior appears to be strong enough to withstand impacts.
The car’s actual cash value is $54,661 with an estimated repair cost $41,583. This is 76 percent of vehicle’s actual cash value. While total loss factors may vary, exceeding this threshold is usually fatal. This doesn’t mean that the Supra can’t be fixed. However, it is possible to donate parts or make this car a race car for those who are already thinking about a Supra rebuild.
