[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

Just my 2cents...but here it goes.

The ST205 is a great car, a high-water mark for Toyota of the mid-90's.......BUT the WRC cheating scandal caused Toyota to 'lose face', and thus sullied the reputation of the corporation and the model.
Toyota seemed much more proud of the ST185 as a result, nevermind the fact that it was not the pinnacle of GT4 Celicas.

That said, ST205's are hitting new highs on the desirability scale as they have passed the 25 year mark and are importable to the USA.
Prices for non-WRC models have passed 20K at auction in Japan, and WRC-spec '94's are passing 40K!
Add in import costs, plating, title, taxes, etc and a true WRC '94 in good nick can push 50K retail. So how bad do you want that Supra vs. a GT4?
