I’m in my mid seventy’s and took the car in for an oil change and inspection to the local Toyota dealer. That’s the same dealership where I purchased the car new in 1994. I was told that the owner came over looked at the car and talked to the mechanics. He called me out of the waiting room and ask if I wanted to sell it. I said no, but would consider an offer. He offed $33K and I said no, but would consider $40K. The car is 100% original, like new, with only 27,075 miles. I made the mistake of telling my wife and she wants me to sell it.
A car like that I would not take a cent less then 40k. 33k would be stealing it from you. There are two listed on ebay right now. One is modded to hell at 40k, and a stock 96 for $45k

Put it in your will that the dealer has first chance to purchase it for $40,000.00, otherwise it can be sold to someone else.
The price may need to be adjusted though, depending on how many more years you have the vehicle.
That way you get to keep the vehicle right now and your wife gets the cash money for it after you are done with it.

Very good advise.
I will add: make sure that you have a $45K coverage insurance for it. There are two things you can do:
a. Sell it for $40K and put the money into a retirement account for your wife (ROTH, and so on)
b. Sell it for $40K and spend the money on whatever you want (enjoy the rest of your days)
WOW!!! It's hard to find a clean low mileage Supra TT that has not been modified. Auto or manual tranny? I would hang on to it also if you don't need the money.
Just out of curiosity...how much did you buy it for in 1994? (If you don't mind me asking. I understand if you don't want to say)
Mind If I ask what you paid for it when purchased new? I'm just curious what they were going for when new.
I still have the window sticker, the price was $47,683. I believe that I paid around $42,000.
