The Internet is the sum of a lot of awesome, good things, but it’s also home to the strangest and most hilarious. This is also the case here, in which we get to gaze in wonder at what must be the cheapest 2020 Toyota Supra in the U.S. - and the whole wide world.
The 2-door coupe has been in high demand since the Supra nameplate was relaunched last year, so if you’ve been in the market for one such ride, you’re in luck. Then again, “luck” is such a relative term.
Someone from San Jose, California, is selling a 2020 Toyota Supra base on Copart and the bidding has been sitting at $0 for several consecutive days. With bidding raised in $60 increments, this means that you could get it for just that: 60 bucks for a car that sold as new for $61,721. How’s that for an extraordinary bargain?
Of course, there is a catch, and it totally explains the lack of interest in such a high-demand car. This vehicle has been burned to a crisp and, for the first time in a very long time, that phrase is quite literal. The car has been deemed non-repairable, and not one thing of the original remains intact.
Primary damage is listed as “BURN” (in all-CAPS, because the situation warrants it) and the photos show the precise extent of it. Even the color is listed as a lovely shade of “BURN,” because there’s not a single trace of the original paintjob on the wreck.
The original, BMW-sourced 3.0-liter turbocharged inline-six engine is still there, but it’s long past reviving. Once able to deliver 335 hp, it’s now reduced to a scrap of molten, deformed metal.
With all this in mind, it’s strange that the owner still decided to sell the car, especially when he could have probably gotten more for it by selling it as junk metal. Then again, if he’d done that, we woulnd’t be speak of the world’s cheapest Supra now.
