It's not even that great of a performance car. Seems strange now but I remember driving one when I lived in Japan and I ended up buying a wrx which felt MUCH faster and less loose. Something about those 97 wrxs.

I'm not sure what the length of time it was produced has to do with maintaining it.
I had a 89 RPS13 in 2009 and that wasn't difficult to maintain. This would be much younger and would have benefited from a decades worth of refinement, that should make it better.
Resell, you're not going to be selling this to some bloke cross shopping a Camry. Of course you're going to sell it to an enthusiast, and enthusiast will pay. I'll put it this way, I'm not into baseball cards so a $100k card is worthless to me, but my value of it doesn't affect the value of it to those who are into that sort of thing.
