[LimitedGT4]

Hi all,

Got a question, which i know the answer can be oppinionated, but taking the mk4 supra as an example, i never thought it would be sought out as a "collectible" with prices reaching 100k for low mile stock turbo no targa 6psd models. Is there any reason why one shouldnt expect the st205 wrc to be sought out more in a few years with stock models having a higher premium than modified models.

I ask to know if i should consider leaving my potential wrc as stock as possible. Or is this just one of those cool cars that will never be considered collectible and moding the car wont "ruin" the price.


I searched for collect but didnt see anything related

GT4 price is only up here in the States because as Americans weve always wanted one, and importers saw opportunity to make some bucks, initially. Then sellers, saw what these could bring, and prices were even higher.

what changed, from 6 years ago that i was offered a car at 8k, and then that very same care was 15k a year ago.

NOTHING, NOTHING. was not featured in any movie, was not part of any good legacy, It simply became available to be registered in the good old US of A.

When Americans want something, people see an opportunity to make bucks, would prices come down soon?, maybe. Id hate to pay pretty penny for a car that then would be worth its real price 2 years later. I wanted a GT4, but i did the responsible thing, got a cheap supra. not the F&F, lol, that would not be responsible.

I couldnt find a cheap supra as those prices really went crazy so im getring a cheap gt4, which just looks like it might be a wrc....

As far as legacy and heritage people forget it was the official rally car at one point and it did win races despite its downfall so all that is debateable. But also not every car featured in a movie gains notoriety so the more i think of it im not sure the success of the supra or its price should be attributed to a movie. Eclipse, evo, wrx, rx7, jetta, s2k, civic and the list goes on. None really compare in value nor are they now considered collectibles when they are in certain condition.

The question wasnt would prices get ridiculous but rather would and unmodified wrc be considered more valuable than a modified one, as time goes on...


However i get everyones point that everything changes and one can never know and usually a stock car could be worth more compared to its modified counterpart

Welp, you were the one to bring comparison to a Supra in your first post. But, the GT4 was really in a class of Evo, WRX STI, and it's values would be more in line with the class. Supra was a competitor to the 3000GT, Nissan GT-R, that sort of thing. Different production numbers, too. If someone wants a Supra and can't find one, they're more likely to settle for a Nissan GT-R rather than a Celica GT4, and that reflects in the prices, ya know.
