It's had 130 YEARS to appreciate in value, not to
mention the survival rate can't have been great.
Nobody cares. 
I don't think it's even kept up with inflation. |
I just see this being a comeback for Toyota in the future. I did a bunch of research on this car before and after I bought it to find its heritage and stuff. I'm more into the history, passion, and inspiration side of cars and not the stance/rice/whatever side. I love how this car has so much inspiration and heritage behind it, especially with the styling and engineering of it. One of the cars that it holds in its build is the 2000GT. From the side, you'll notice the rear side windows are nearly identical on each of these cars, and just the little things like the 86 symbol on the side with the sideways pistons representing the boxer and that 86mm is also the size of the cylinder bore. No one I've ever spoken to that knows anything about this car has ever known that although it's a pretty common thing. The details in this car are my favorite.
I like how a lot of people here are really into stripped, base model FRS/BRZ but if I'm paying 25K-30K for a car, I appreciate a model that has all of the luxury features.
Now Miatas on the other hand, I think it's silly when people have different editions because Miatas are only worth a couple grand? My Miata is pretty damn nice but the KBB on it is not that much. :p My long point being that I think the limited edition cars deserve appreciation value in the future simply because of their detail and heritage, given that people don't rice them out.
