Low mile Twins hold value like a Supra or integra type R?
 

I think those are valuable now because they were low production and/or very expensive for the average consumer at release?

A FRS was readily available so won’t hold value if you have one in 15 years with 1,000 miles ?

huh..toyota/subaru have sold more twins than any other coupe nameplate under their brands so go figure..plus for cars like tt supra, ITR, these were their highest performance models whereas not really the case with the twins..

the only twins that might appreciate 50 years from now are true limited edition ones like GR/GRmn, 14R-60, tS, etc otherwise every other twin will be a dime a dozen. plenty of low mileage '13s out there like humfrz's which has like less than 5 miles on the odo.

the supra's value has always been the fact that the engine was a result of the japanese bubble era, and was so over-engineered, it allowed for incredible amounts of boost in stock form.

integra type r was interesting because of it's relatively low production count.

the 86 has none of these attributes.

Yep, 2.5 miles to Walmart, 2.5 miles back.

:D

the only thing that may bring the scarcity of these cars up over the years is the number of people that end up getting into total loss wrecks

Low volume and very expensive huh?

It is impossible to guess at what these cars will be worth in 50 years. It will totally depend on supply and demand. If there are just a handful left and a bunch of people become nostalgic all of a sudden they may have some moderate value (if you can still drive ICE cars in 50 years).
If they are featured in a movie (Fast and Furious #115 Escape From The Old Folks Home?) or something else brings them to the forefront again could bring them up a bit as well.
They will likely never reach legendary status that some cars have but the value of old cars is based more upon old people reliving their youth than young people wanting the cars that existed way before they were born. You don't see many young guys lusting after a '65 Dart Swinger.

The torque dip in this car will be the thing that makes these cars collectible.

The engineers of the future will be baffled by the existence of such a powerband setup.

they will be purchased in droves to understand its existence. The unmolested non-modified units will be the holy grail of the ft86 future collectibles.

Well interestingly this week the interwebz saw a base model AE86 being sold for £46,250. I couldn't find how many AE86 were sold in GB but according to the interwebz there were 18 K sold in NA and 360 K worldwide with the majority by far probably being sold in japan. So like tcoat says who knows, guess we'll first see who's twins survive after 20+ years.

Oh you mean this? Adding to the scarcity apparently they destroyed 3 cars filming this scene lol. Guess they saw the good ol twin as disposable :(

Well according to some on here they should have just waited for the second gen car. They could have done that whole scene just by turning off the traction control.

I think they will hold value and possibly go up many years down the road as cleaner examples get harder to come by.
Right now they're done a dozen with the amount produced.

Clean 90s Civics, integras are starting to jump now that most of them have disintegrated into piles of rust.

Pricewise, I think the twins would* in 20 years time, fit somewhere between Si/GSR and 240SX. That is, I believe they'll get the drift tax simply if people are hacking them up, crashing them, rusting out, or having bunches of unfinished builds sitting in garages, making clean and untouched versions higher value.

*This depends because in 15-20 years, that will be 2041 and a lot will rely on what the automotive industry and our roads will look like by then.


There's no way they'll be sold at MK4 Supra prices. Maybe in 40-50 years if they reach 240Z scarcity.

i also dont think twins will ever be like Supra.
Look at S2K now. it marks up crazy because of no more production and hard to find nice one.

yes. supply vs demand
