1994 Toyota Supra Twin Turbo Just Sold For Nearly $174,000

Prices for Mk4 Toyota Supra models are currently on the rise, and one example recently sold for a hefty 173,600 in the United States.

The Supra in question is a 1994 model outfitted with the desirable twin-turbocharged 2ZJ engine. In addition, the car includes Toyota's six-speed manual transmission, the factory targa top, is painted black and outfitted with a tan interior. What's more, the Japanese sports car crossed the auction block with just 11,200 miles (18,024 km) under its belt.



RM Sotheby's listing of the car shows that it was sold new in Illinois and stayed there for at least two years, racking up almost 6,000 miles (9,656 km). It was later imported to Switzerland roughly 12 months ago before finding its way back to the United States.

In 2015, the Supra was listed for sale by St. Louis Car Museum and Sales with 10,553 miles (16,983 km) for $99,000. Many Supra enthusiasts were shocked at this asking price, but as it turns out, it may have actually been conservative.



Depending on the market, the twin-turbo, fourth-generation Supra pumped out up to 321 hp at 5600 rpm and 315 lb-ft (427 Nm) of torque at 4000 rpm. Range-topping models sold in the United States could reach 62 mph (100 km/h) in less than 5 seconds and record low-13 second runs down the quarter mile.

The Mk4 Supra is also a favorite among tuning companies and finding one that's original without a huge number of miles on the clock is difficult. So maybe we shouldn't be surprised this example sold for so much then.

That's able-ist! 

Time marches on.  The Boomer nostalgia demand for 60s Muscle cars sent prices for them through the roof, now they're going down.  I guess the early Ricers are starting to get a bit nostalgic for their 'old' cars now.   Soon we'll be seeing 80s/90s Maximas and Civics going for astronomical prices; fart cans and all.

No, we won't, just like there were plenty of cars from the 60s that never reached collector status.

I don't know how accurate this site is, but according to them, there were fewer than 4000 Turbo Supras with the 6-speed sold in the US. They're rare cars that have always been highly regarded - it shouldn't be surprising that a stock, low mileage example in good condition is commanding this kind of money.

The Supra is a rare and important car. These prices make 100% sense.

I was kidding .

It's an often asked question. How much is this vintage car worth? The answer is what someone is willing to pay for it.

You never know - the '55/'56/'56 Chevy was the Camcord of its day. Prices never got "astronomical" for them save for something uber rare like a '57 Fuelie but they did attain collector status.

As to this Supra, not a huge fan - 10x more reliable/durable than anything else of the day but way overpriced and overhyped WRT performance. But it did have its fans and that determines a lot.

If it were worth half that price.... it would have sold at half that price.

IMO the Supra is notable more for being the swan song of the Japanese economic bubble than it is for its virtues as a sports car/GT. The FD and Skyline were much more noteworthy performers.

Yawwwwn. People are dumb as hell. This isn't a $10,000 car, or even a 10 second car. More like a 10 minute car.

The manifold is attached to the floorboard, right?

Attached to the seat and goes through the floor. Lets you relieve yourself when the turbos kick in.

Auctions are a virtually perfectly efficient means of market value determination.

I mean it could be just 2 people in the world who really like the car. In which case 1 auction result means practically nothing when extrapolated to the whole market. You need similar results in multiple auctions.

Negative. I attend auctions almost every other weekend, and rarely does something go for it's actual worth. More often than not, people grossly overpay because they are caught up in the bidding. Conversely, items get grossly undersold because the interest in that item is not in attendance.

No, the manifold pressure safety release blowoff panel IS the floorboard.

I thought the floor was like one big manifold.

How big is the "whole market" for ultra low mile/as-new 4th gen Supras?

Thus, by definition, 1 auction result, esp. something so widely advertised as this auction, literally means everything, thus, also by definition², the ("whole") market value is ~$174,000.
