Off topic but how do you compare the Turbo S to the Supra? I'd imagine one is a spaceship and the other is a miata.

The turbo S is prom night, the Supra is weekend fun , but here is something to think about . 5 Supras for 1 911 turbo , 250k compared to 50k. crazy to think about it in that way. Love the Mk5 and the 911, both white with black interior.

That’s a great analogy! Point for you sir! Well done.

as cool as the MK4 is I cannot fathom people spending 6 figures for one, let alone any 90's "JDM legend".

For the $110K this has been bid up to I'd rather get a used gen 2 Audi R8, or save a little bit longer and get a C8 Z06 brand new. Both vastly superior cars that don't have a sticky cheap interior or need a bunch of mods to make actually quick.

Whoever purchases that MK4 will be doing so as an investment. All the things you mention are irrelevant at this point. I don’t disagree though. I’ve never understood the cars as investments appeal.

If a person is trying to convince themselves to buy a Mk5 and teetering on the edge, this should convince them. A new Supra is a bargain! You know you need it.

I'm guessing whoever buys it has a boat load of spare cash and it'll be a somewhat emotional purchase, something they always wanted. Can't deny it could be a simple investment opportunity albeit obviously with a huge gamble.

If I had a couple hundred k that I was forced to spend on a car, there's some Japanese shops that rebuild old Skylines form the ground up. I would positively love an R34. I won't ever actually own one, but if I could do it, I probably would.
