The Official AUSTRALIAN Thread

LMFAO. Are you kidding? Have you ever heard of a dealer of any car maker not having oil or an oil filter for a current model car? Like, ever? As far as my experience goes, this is unique to Toyota and the Supra that they clearly have no idea how to deal with.

This is the second major dealer that hasn't been able to service my Supra because they didn't have what was required. Unless I've randomly come across the two worst Toyota dealers in Australia, there might just be a bigger problem at play.

I mean, where do you think these dealers have to get their parts from?

No I am not fucking kidding. Your dealership’s part inventory is managed by themselves, nothing to do with Toyota Aus. Don’t lump them together. Call up other dealerships for parts if they fucking don’t have it, go sell your car and jump ship to Beemmm since its BMAF anyway

The fucking oil filter, apparently. And even better.. they're having to get one in from interstate just to do the service. Toyota is an absolute joke.

Yea I tried grabbing an oil filter from Toyota at South Morang and was told they would have to order it in. I'm not surprised by anything to do with car manufacturers and dealers anymore. When they can't get a numberplate centred and level in in the plate recess and can't stock an oil filter for a model they sell it's time to give up on both. I'll be glad when they get rid of dealers altogether and just go to selling cars online only and get rid of the local importers as well. Just order it from the home country. It's not like there's an advantage to the local infostructure, all they do is throw roadblocks and suspect workmanship at you.

Random Carsales update. Number of cars available is going up but prices mostly holding - especially in the predicted GTS+Manual segment.

AI summary of the state of play:

As of August 2026, there are 42 Toyota Supra A90s advertised on Carsales Australia, covering the GT and GTS variants in both manual and automatic form. The market is heavily weighted towards GTS automatics, with manuals making up a much smaller proportion of available cars. Current GTS examples generally sit around $74,000–$108,000, depending heavily on age and kilometres, while late-model GTS manuals are typically around $95,000–$100,000. For example, Carsales currently shows a 2020 GTS automatic at $73,900, a 2022 GTS manual at $97,500 and 2023 GTS manuals around $97,000. Overall, A90 depreciation appears to be slowing and beginning to stabilise, particularly for manual GTS cars: early automatic cars have experienced the largest depreciation, whereas scarce, low-kilometre manuals continue to command strong prices and retain a relatively high proportion of their original value.
