Re: need a supra
It was at one time. What is interesting is SyTy original held their value well while Supra Tanked. If you bought a left 91 Syclone in 92 you could have made money, The 2nd owner of my Syclone paid more money than the original owner who drove it more than 30k and 5 years.
I looked into buyingiin 97/98 a Sy or MKIV Supra when I graduated college. Syclone and Supra at that time were in the same price range. At that time, Sy had a book value of 18K (92 Ty 21k, 93 24K) if they had super low miles Sy were right around 20k. Ultra low Ty were basically selling for they were sold off the lot. Supra on the hand, I could buy a auto 94/95 TT Supra for less than 20k all day long. 6 speed were a good 5K more. Yes these were low mileage exampes Those were 50k cars new that were selling for half, auto 40%.
On the Supra mailing list one of the guy with an auction liscense picked half dozen auto TT Supra for $12-13K and sold them at his cost to the mailing list members (they had 60-80k miles)
In 99/2000 the pricing went in opposite directions.

Re: need a supra
never heard of any of the guys changing their windshields. Youtube wotm supra or ryan woon, titan motorsports, boost logic Guys are running 7's and these cars are STREET driven. These cars spiked hard because people noticed the potential that these have. My friend has a 98 6 speed with a bone stock block and made 996 to the wheels and drives the car all the time. These motors take such abuse and they do eventually break but it's so damn hard to kill one.

Seen a single turbo supra on craigslist in baton rouge the other day for 13K. I emailed the guy bout it. It had several mods. Interior looked good but needed some paint.

Re: need a supra
It sure did help the pricing, but I think it was more of perfect storm of Supra gaining popularity.
I was on the Supra email list in 95 until about 2000. It wasn't until the 98 were out that people really start to figure out in the small Supra circle that the MKIV was fast and easy to modify. In 99 and 00 the pricing was already inching upward. I don't think it would have hit the peak, but I wouldn't be surprised if the long term pricing would have been unaffected.
Hmmm... I wonder why pricing jumped up in 2001?

Re: need a supra
My buddy wanted one bad. He found a 95 six speed all stock. Had a catback on it. That was it. He did intake, boost controller and DP. Finally he figured out that its expensive to build it to 700-800 hp. He had a couple EVO's before that. Also had a Lexus with a 2JZ swap in it that he sold. So the Supra is gone. Think he paid $25,000 for it and got $29,000 out of it. Super low miles like 45,000. Rust free car out here of course.
