Why Everyone is SELLING their A90 Supra.

  • The A90 Supra is one of the best cars on sale right now, but it doesn't come without a few problems. The Supra being the quick 2 seater sports car that it is, isn't a great car if you plan on needing any more space than just for groceries or a weekend trip. This makes it hard to haul tires, wheels, or anything else in the trunk.
    It's more than that though. The Supra is made with BMW's b58 engine with over 100 more torque than horsepower! This means if you're at 500 horsepower, you also have 609 torque which for a rear wheel drive car is A LOT!
    This makes the car a bit harder to drive or just easier to spin the rear wheels, which isn't something you want to do ALL the time.
    For me, I really miss having my MK5 Supra, but I'm glad I have a car that's a better daily driver with my M340i. It's fun, fast, and practical. Eventually, I plan on getting a G80 M3 once prices come down and building that just like I did to my Supra and to my M340i.
    Should you BUY a Supra? Or is everyone getting rid of theirs?
    Now is the time to buy if you want a Supra! With everyone selling, prices going down! So if you're in the market for a Supra, then now might be the time.

      ​@@Xander1Sheridan I used to daily my s2000, BRZ, RHD ITR, EM1, R32 GTR (to name a few) , yet, I am pathetic for thinking its best to reserve these type of cars for spirited drives and not daily commutes. You want to sit in that funky ass traffic ( live in south Miami), add wear and tear to your built or specked motor and clutch, doing all that stopping and going, and think its cool to daily in a tight cockpit style car in those conditions, then do it! More Kudos to you.
      I personally hate not being able to let loose when I drive my supra, so only really drive mine at night or on holidays, and a tiguan when I don't want to worry about pot holes or my lip going missing because I was on a call while blazing through traffic lol

      I bought the car & enjoyed it for what it was but realized the things I overlooked became inconvenient. I didn't think just bolt ons would cause it to lose traction all the time, even with good tires like Michelin PS4S. I loved it & I really do miss it! Kinda wanna buy one again!

    I see so many people selling their supras with less than 10000 kms and I can't help but shake my head. Modding a car will almost always create some additional/undesired effects. My FBO E92 needed the tires aired out a little or it was very inpredictable, even with pilot super sports. The problem is silly people that don't truly want a sports car. They were temporarily caving in to their inner child.. Now, they're selling a car that's barely had an oil change, and the new owner is expected to believe that break in period was honoured.... 🤔🙄

    The fallacy that many guys have after getting married and having kids is that their sportscar has to be sold, and a 4-door car or SUV, purchased.
    But there's a better way. Since I was 21, I always had a 2-seater sportscar and and a far less expensive, go-anywhere car that was fine for driving in a traffic jam and parking downtown. Of course, my sportscar had a manual transmission, and the other car, an automatic. My wife also had a larger vehicle, so taking the kids somewhere was never an issue.
    Was my sedan car really nice? No, it was an inexpensive but reliable Mazda. Now that the kids are adults, I have a 2024 Supra 45th and a much older NC Miata. My wife still loves her SUV.
    So never think that your choice has to be a sportscar or a sedan. Have both!

  • @randall-lbc
    @randall-lbc Před měsícem +3

    Toyota and BMW collaborated on the entire platform. It is indeed using a B58 -- however Toyota tore the entire engine down and sent back hundreds of parts with notes to BMW's engineers because the B58 at the time did not meet Toyota's reliability standards. Alongside that, the chassis was also co-developed with BMW. If you ever have the opportunity to drive a Z4, you'll notice it feels like a completely different car. To say the Supra is just a "rebadged" Z4 is an insult to the collaborative engineering that took place between Toyota and BMW.
    Fun fact -- your iPhone has no parts made/manufactured by Apple. The phone itself consists components all sourced from different companies (screen, lenses, image sensor, glass, etc). The iPhone is engineered by Apple. Are we calling it a rebadged something else?

    • @GearsAndGains1
      @GearsAndGains1  Před měsícem

      Toyota tuned it yes and co-developed it with BMW. It drives much different than a Z4 for sure, but i meant it was just a beefed up Z4 with a toyota bodykit. Every single part on it is produced by BMW.

      And don't forget Gazoo Racing! They put the handling magic in the GR Supra. But yes, the B58 was made even more reliable, thanks to Toyota engineers. Some people complain about not having BMWs latest electronics/infotainment in the Supra. Anyone who knows BMW knows that you should NEVER buy the new model with latest updates. It takes a few years for BMW to get the bugs out. I don't want my Supra to be their test bed of sorts.

      Here in New York City, there are Supras everywhere. Most people I know who had one sold it to get into another project for drag racing, since that's what BMWs are really used for now. Either they bough G80 M3s, Bmw M5s, or some kind of other all wheel drive car.

    Shoulda looked a little harder for a cheap and practical vehicle to have alongside the supra. literally just did a quick google search of honda accords in my area and found two with under 120k miles for under 8 grand. Now you lost a car that will almost certainly become a classic and traded it for a mid-range bmw that has no chance of becoming a classic. Best piece of advice I can give is always buy the highest trim of a car you can afford (ie better investment to buy a 3.0 supra than to buy a base porsche cayman, better to buy bmw m2 than to buy bmw 540i. In the future, more people are gonna want an M2 than an M340i. Hell, more people will want Supras, Nissan Z nismos, Subaru STIs, Evos, Civic Type Rs, Mustang Dark Horse/Mach 1s, Higher trim Charger/Challengers, etc. All of those are in the $35K-$70K range that people will be looking for in 20 years. Idk man, I woulda held onto the supra a little longer and saved up to buy a beater. Cars aren't good investments most of the time anyway, but you really threw money away with that choice.

    If you buy a Supra and modify it to 500+ whp you deluding yourself if you expect it to be a practical daily driver. However, you highlight a point. Cars are getting expensive, most people can't afford that impractical sports car that only comes out on weekends. It's a lot of money to tie up in a weekend toy. Instead, they need a car that can do it all which is why hot hatches, the M3 touring and even large, fast sedans are getting so popular, cars like the Supra are dying off fast. It this exact reason why I'll be keeping mine hopefully well into my retirement. They are already rare now, in 20 years they'll be an absolute unicorn.

    • @GearsAndGains1
      @GearsAndGains1  Před měsícem +1

      You make a great point! I love wagons & hot hatches. It's sad that in the US we don't get many of the same ones that Europe gets, but it definitely is because they don't sell well. The M3 touring is awesome & my first car, a Subaru WRX, I wish I would've gotten the hatch version. That's why most people just buy SUVs or Pickups.

      How can a Supra NOT be a daily driver when you're just driving it to work? Do you need to pick up lumber at Home Depot, frequently or live in snow country? If so, then yes, I agree with you, but that's why I moved away from the East coast, years ago. Sportscar lovers who live in areas like that, are forced to buy a crasher sedan for bad weather days. I lived that life until I was 27, yet even after moving to CA, I still had a "crasher" for parking where fender benders were more likely.

    so, in the end, don't add power (or at least as much as you did) and expect it to be a bit cramped for daily use/store runs. I guess Toyota needed to make it a 2+2...but then what about the GR86/BRZ? Yep, a 2+2 would have been better.

    • @GearsAndGains1

It was a fun car to say the least but it's a tight car even for a weekend warrior it's not a car that I would want to go anywhere distance wise had it been a little larger or similar to the original I probably would own one today.
    It's kind of ironic I clicked on this video because I was just pondering over the idea of a smaller car that you can still do some deadly stuffing and enjoy the drive and a m340i came to mind. I'm not saying there's not other vehicles but the m340i is about the price point that I'm willing to go as far as a side toy as much as I'd rather have some other ones even today to car market is still way overvalued

Also once you mod any car there is more to it than just boosting hp. Suspending, tire, brakes, weight distribution etc. This sounds more like a cheap out due to lack of planning.

      I enjoyed it. It wasnt as good as a BMW but it was defiantly better than toyota interiors. The interior is made by BMW too

      I think the Supra sounds better than the g80 m3! But you just have to have the right exhaust on both to make them sound great 🔥

      I rather a turbo inline 6 because they sound super cool. V8s sound better yes but idk, I love the turbo noises.

      100%. I’m glad I got to experience it through for the time I had it. I’ll never forget my ownership with it 💯

    So basically... If you're gonna have this car, let it be your second or third and not primary. And also, don't mod it unless you add supporting parts. Not really a minus in my book. My track build s2000 is my 3rd car and sits in a climate controlled garage on its own. It's also driven strictly for leisure. I'd probably be a good candidate for an A90.
