In spite of the performance advantage, many more n/a's than turbos were sold.

the only thing that depriciates faster than a mazda is a bmw. a 1992 750il stickered for $100,000 you can buy them for under 10k....

I was reading last night in the new Sport Compact mag about the value and current prices of the last gen Supra. It turns out there were only I believe 4000 Supras sold in North America from 93-98 that had both the turbo set up and 6 speed manual. They were saying a decent used 93-95 TT 6 speed should be around $15-20K, yet everytime I see them for sale its close to original sticker price! I know they are very rare and great cars though but damn. |
some cars still hold their value. thats all i gotta say

Also, with that article, they were getting more at the blue book comparison to what the car is actually worth to an enthusiast. For example, if only 4000 of that specific Supra were sold throughout its 6 year production, an enthusiast may pay up to double the blue book which makes me wonder how exactly they are determining blue book value.... I guess they are not taking into consideration the # produced and sold?? |
