Here's Why You Can't Afford a Supra

A Supra sold at auction for $176,000. The highest-priced Mk4 Supra ever. But why?

The MK4 Toyota Supra has skyrocketed in price over the last two decades, and it shows no signs of slowing down. In this video, I go over the meteoric rise of values, and why this 90s JDM legend now commands a higher price than many modern supercars, putting it out of reach for most people to afford.

If you had $176, 000, would you spend it on a Mk4 Supra? What would you buy instead of a Supra?

[mikeduwe]

Hey, what's the retail on one of those? More than you can afford pal, SUPRA.

[danielmcintyre]

When your 18 years and the supra had been your dream car for years, hearing something like this really blows. Not bashing your video tho

[GarageSupra]

The guy that sold me his 68, 000km (42, 500mi) JDM turbo manual for $5, 500AUD ($4, 272US) in 2015 must be on suicide watch these days.

[vivid-_-jxtn]

i think the influx in price is from kids growing up watching fast and furious finally got a job

[prosperbeats]

its crazy, my teacher had a mk4 that was automatic so she converted it to a 6-speed but the first month of swapping it, an idiot in the schools parking lot crashed it. so sad because it was great to see a supra daily.

[YoshiBoi]

Don’t let this distract you from the fact that Hector is going to be running three Honda civics with spoon engines, and on top of that, he just went into Harry’s and bought three t66 turbos with nos, and a motec exhaust system

[somsordachanh]

It's been my dream car since I was 12 yrs old, I am now 38. Couldn't afford it then, can't afford it now. Somethings aren't just meant to be I guess...

[PinoyZo]

With Regulation laws going on with vehicles, this will just make sport cars with legendary status go up even more.

[OCDRex]

Stumbled onto your channel a week or so ago and this was the one that made me hit the subscribe. I was 16/17 when the MKIV was big in the states and I regret in my 20's (prior to F&F and the first boom of the market) not picking one up back then. I loved them then and still do now. But I know 100% I will NEVER own one in any capacity, EVER! USDM's/JDM's are becoming the new "Classic Cars" for a new generation. I am part of that generation.

Great vid. I loved the whole, "we owned 16 Supra's" part. Made it real and not just a fanboi citing internet regurgitations.

[Dys]

This is why you buy them from Japan, where they sell from 30 to 50k USD.

[grimmkiller]

That's sad, I wanted one because I genuinely love the look of one ever since I was a kid, now it's beyond my reach. Now it's supercar level status.

[timotious]

Video : “here’s why you cannot afford a supra”

JDM Fans : *sad sututututu noise*

[longhand]

A few years ago I got into an argument with some guys on YT, about the cost of Supras. And after weeks of responding to their comments I just gave up because I realized that not only did they not do any research but they had no clue as to what they were talking video!

[CRAWLER]

Don’t care how expensive they are or how much they will be...I WILL own one, one day🙏🏿

[AliMurtaza]

“Albon” is becoming more of an infotainment channel than just an auto channel. Thanks for sharing the vital information.

Honestly I feel the same way about AE86s. In high school I got my GTS hatch for $4500, now they're all $15k and it makes me a little sad to see. Good thing tho is soon I'm going to graduate as a computer engineer and I should be able to save for one outright as soon as I get a job. You can bet your ass I'm going to be holding onto mine for as long as possible. Even when I have kids there is no way in hell I'm giving up that AE86.

The AE86 community is super tight knit and often times AE86 owners sell each other parts for the same price they got them back in the day without letting others outside that circle buy in. I find that kinda beautiful and I even did the same when I had my parts. I sold a GTS front end I had for $200 to a well respected guy within the community and I hope I can get back in the game soon

I always smile when I see videos like these, because I remember as a teenager in the 2000s, arguing a friend that performance JDM cars will be expensive collectibles one day.

He argued and laughed at me. Saying that the plastic that a R34/RX7/Supra/etc will be dust in 20 years, that no one will want. Well who's laughing now Joe? Today, a 1994 Supra is worth more than your Porche money pit, that you can't start reliably without being in a shop twice a month

[jd]

I always felt like Supras were out of reach for me. Back when I used to see them around $20k, I couldn't afford that. What I wouldn't do for a $20k Supra... Nice video. While I like quicksilver, I think the anthracite metallic cars are my favorite.
