Default Why are UK Supras so cheap?

Ok you guys are saying that a good supra in the US is like well over 25k. I was kinda shocked that they cost so much over there because over here they sell for like £6000+ ($10000) There are many examples that i could show you. I was just wondering why there is such a huge price difference.

It doesn't matter where you are another country wants what you have. Like find a Jap guy and they would LOVE to get a US model car. But we all want jap spec cars. It's a need and want to be different and stand out. We want Supras because they're rare. Brits have a bunch so they're cheap. Supply and demand my boy. Supply an demand.

Not true totally. that is a scam.. supras are rare world wide not just here. The UK\JDM models are actually weaker they have different turbos and make 50 less HP stock. But other than that they are priced very very similar for the most part. they are not cheap there from all the ones I have seen
