Pick up a deeply discounted 2020 or what for MY2021?

The GR Supra would likely get its mid-cycle refresh in MY2023 (assuming they make five model years before discontinuation or a new gen replacement). Since it's public knowledge that Toyota/GR/ Mr.Toda-San will be making incremental changes every year to the MK5. So for the individuals who haven't already bought a MK5 and also have patience as their virtues, then perhaps MY2023 and up would be the best investment.
Jeez, I'm just glad I'm not of the same mindset and purchased my 2020 Supra 6 months ago...I couldn't imagine making myself wait until 2023 to have the pleasure of owning / driving a Supra now...

I also never view my car purchases as investments.....

Carpe Diem!

I'm glad I got my 2020 in December I have done heaps to it & put 6800 KMs on it.

I might be waiting a long time for a 2021, heck they might not even be imported here.

If I had waited until then I might well be thinking I wish I'd waited until..... or done something really silly & ordered a C8 :p

So glad I didn't decide to order a C8 last year, goodness knows when they will get here in RH drive & how much they will be.......

I thought about the C8 as well since my car before my Supra was a '18 C7...I've also owned new C4 and C5 back in the day and I'm still curious to take one for a test drive, if I could find one available that is!

That said, I'm finding that I'm having far more fun in the Supra since it's more nimble than my past Vettes were and still has enough power/torque to keep me satisfied...As I grow older it's more about acceleration and torque rather than high rpm speed that I find the most enjoyable these days...As I've said a few times I view the Supra as a goldilocks sports car that's both nimble and fast and so far proving perfect for me...no regrets..only smiles!

For anyone on the fence deciding to buy a Supra...

Would that same logic apply to wives as well? Second model better then first? Asking for a friend.
Very possible, but unloading the first model may cost you more than it’s worth, lol!
