Back in the day we had a supra... The mom did... It was a 94 black targa Twin turbo 6mt. Sticker was 48k and some change... We picked it up for in the 30's because it was sitting on the lot with 3 others all turbos but automatics. I can remember that day because both of my parents when it comes to buying cars have this number in their head and they want to get the car at that price... We walked away with it for around 38 because it was early 95 and it had 600 miles on the clock. We got rid of it in 99 for the M3 and traded it for 26 with 22k miles on it.

The main reason in my opinion is the moive fast and furious on why it just went up in price and demand. The cars have bullet proof engines and can be FAST and put out wonderful numbers on the dyno... My other reason that goes along with the moive reason is that when people bought these they made them fast and if i was a betting man I bet crashes and totaled Supras went up since fast and furious came out... eliminating even more of the limited amount that was already out there.

I loved that car and wanted it BADLY when i was 16 but the parents no way would have put me in that car...
