I'm not sure they will do what the Supra did and is still doing. I own a 95 6-speed and I'll tell you they have gotten ridiculous. Especially the highly sought after colors like Royal Saphire Pearl, Quick Silver and Anthracite. Then of course the manual transmission adds value. Along with rare hard top models. The QS and RSP colors start at $60k and can go well north of that. I think Evos will hold strong though, maybe increasing a little as time goes on. Like you said, only time will tell. I hope they don't get too crazy, as I wouldn't mind getting another one someday.

I'm glad I never got bit by the mod bug... people can't believe it when I tell them my IX SE is bone stock.

I love Supras, but will never pay those kids of prices. I'm okay with looking at them in the parking lot 😁

I also can't imagine driving my car stock. It was okay, but not near as fun as now. However....we appreciate those that do, so we can enjoy them later (I'd like another) LOL

Mine is black, so fortunately i didn't pay that crazy price tag. None of the lower mileage factory 6-speed cars are cheap though. The availability and price of Oem parts is what's tough to swallow. I never modded my Evo much, but having access to parts was great. I miss that for sure.

Color was a factor?

Does south coast still have the gray MR?

I was just saying I didn't pay the premium you have to pay for the rare colors. I happened to always want a black/tan Supra. Seems like black, white and red are more common.

These numbers are just a snapshot from today (10/23/2015), so this will obviously change over time.

All I can tell is that prices are all over the ****ing place.
Noticed there were no Phoenix Red MRs on the list. Makes me feel like mine is a little more special

I'm one of those original owners with a WW MR. Tasteful and proven mods. I've sworn many times over that I will never sell the car, but recently I've been more open to selling it. If ever I was to sell it'll be no less than $30k.
I think the price disparity is from multiple owner cars with multiple rounds of mod-demod, which is common considering the age of the car. I suspect 1 owner cars will demand a premium more than a "stock appearing" car.

It was there when I got my oil change in mid/late September. The smart money is on it still being there.

It's going to be hard to price used Evo's because the condition of these cars is all over the map. Mileage is one factor but other important factors are multiple owners, abuse, track use, maintenance, cheap eBay mods, paint maintenance, was the car driven during the Winter etc. I think that's why we will see 10K Evo's and 30k+ Evo VIII's and IX's.

Which location is it? I might just drop by one of these days if I'm in the west coast.

South Coast (Costa Mesa), where it's always been. I can swing by there and check, I live a few miles away.

Yup. That's pretty much any used car, though.

I wouldn't be so worried about track use, and multiple owner mod/return to stock, and 120k miles on 2005 Toyota Camry
