Time to Invest in CRX's and GTI's? -Garage419

[coandcaiv]

a friend of mine back home had a badass orange crx with all neon green under hood wiring and mods...it was truly one of a kind in that area....actually was only 1 of 2 in like 75 mile radius from what i have seen

[tRySt85]

i have a stock crx si with only 130k miles on it, found it 6 years ago with only 68k miles. :)

[rollajoc96]

I think it would be hard to find a completely original and completly stock CRX SI, most of them are all ruined now due to the kids that race them and put bigger motors in them

[CrisAntonioMorelos]

i have one (=

[hmong337]

damn right baby! i got myself a MINT MINT sw20 mr2.

[nbw86]

I'd be curious as to what he would say for the mid 80s rear drive corolla's commonly known as the ae86. Like mine, that I love despite the 'ricer stigma they now have. Sure, not cheap now and perhaps the hype is going down or at least settling in but I can see it becoming a legit collector car in the future. Also good to see older Japanese cars getting more and more attention as of late, rx3's, old celica's and corolla's, 510's ect other then just the 240z's which we knew would be a collector.

[McTeerZor]

i bought my CRX for $300!!!!! with 237000km's runs like a champ, still 0-60 in 7.5 in the DX(base) model. great cars

[471911]

[SpdDemon69]

[rythyt2001]

[diamondtigris]

[deego92]

[cordiaturboowner]

[PipeDiezel]

[nickthebestracer]

sht the fuck up

[frijolitoboi10]

nissan 240sx (s13) cant find much of thos for sale i was lucky to get 1

[FirstGenRx7]

The first through third generation Mazda Rx7 are true classics. I love the rotary engine.

[abidib]

supras are worth alot

[22lambo]

They sell them with 800 whp on ebay for $25000. Still worth it.

[elvee88]

that not much... bout 17 thousand euro ? thata a second hand bmw e46 320. not quite supercar prices

[rebeldriver5]

300zx Twin-Turbo - pretty much changed the game back in 1989

[alexcheetah79]

@rebeldriver5 agree, even today they have the right look and with a twin turbo they are even faster then the new zeds, to this day they are still my favorite Japanese car.

[morgangamer22]

COOL

[kumachn]

How about the 1986 Toyota Corolla GTS ( AE86 )

[Davin1518]

initial D kinda killed it with using that car.. its a work of art tho extreme classic

[joekrillz]

super classics nice !!!

[giriphotography]

very nice interview, get that guy on the show!

[epicmenio]

they sold in that auction a car for 4.5 millions! :O wonder what car it was

[Garage419]

It was that yellow 275GTB/4 in the last shot. There were 4 cars that day to break the 4 million mark.

[coboisarapatanas]

much respet to the mk1 gti..like earing that kind stuff from someone in the business..

[2087777]

i GOT A FRESHLY PAINTED WHITE 1990 CRX Si all original parts interior and exterior (no-bodykit) Only mods are: lowered, 16inch.rims, ZC engine, exhaust, hearders intake! So just might hold-on to my X! Unless someone want to give me my starting price of 60,000! lol

[crx083]

im holding onto my 29th CRX...

[arfi1990]

What Auction is this? What is Bonhams

[Garage419]

The Bonhams and Butterfields auction is held ever year at the Quail Lodge during Pebble Beach Week

[arfi1990]

Thanks

[gtsr5]

i'm happy old Japanese cars are actually increasing in value. i bought my 1986 toyota corolla GTS RWD for $750 from the original owner in 2003. Now i'm constantly getting offer for $3000, i'm sure the increase in vale has something to do with popularity of drifting

[cookiehead2]

Anybody got a Mk1 GTI for sale?

[ManRayDali]

How about a MK2 Golf?

[CJaguar265]

and the radio is an aftermarket pioneer

[CJaguar265]

i have a 1983 pontiac trans am daytona 500 edition only 56k on it the rims were not stock

and the radio

[mr2ya]

93-98 supra's esp turbo. untouched, unmoded.

nsx's any year.

fd3 RX7's.

maybe tt 300z's, and the 80's single turboII

old supercharged MR2's are very rare even today.

And ofcourse my favorite 91-95 or 99 if japan,

MR2 turbo, around 20k sold here in the states

atleast half are wrecked, due to ppl not driving a mid engined car before. half of the 10k left are moded. so 5k OR LESS are remaining untouched.

3yrs ago, mint yellow turbo 4k miles on ebay went for near $20k, NO JOKE!

[koukicrisp]

You're forgetting about the 3000GT VR-4's. If you can find a unmodified low mileage VR-4 Hardtop convertible expect to pay atleast 30k for one. Especially if you can find a 99 model. The Celica GT-4 All-trac unmodified low mileage, could take in 30-40k easily. They only imported 89 of them I believe. The Skylines already go for about 70-100k. Find a R32 V-Spec, or R33 V-SpecII Nur and youll be paying Atleast 150k.

[mr2ya]

I did forget the celica, we got 3 different models, st165, st185, st205, 2 popup headlight versions and 1 bubble eye version.

all 3 are very rare.

vr4 was rare and expensive also, but it doesn't have as big of a following it seems like.

as for the skylines, we didn't get them here so i didn't include that, but you can go to canada and get a r32 for less than $20k, some less than $15k, you must have a good plan for getting back across the border tho,

but it is doable.

[koukicrisp]

Well I have a VR-4 and a 92 at that and I paid 15k for it. There are also the 99 hardtops and I have seen more than one top 40k if it's original, low mileage and unmolested. There's enough people interested in them to keep them highly valued. For a legit 99 you'll be paying alot because they are rare, and a hardtop vert. there were literally about 100 of them made for that year. I used to want a ST185 but I couldnt find one, those cars are sick. The old Honda S600's are really expensive too.

[koukicrisp]

If you're ever around DC i'll show you what a twin TD05 16G VR-4 can do. 8D

[mr2ya]

Yeah, they can make power not saying they cant, Just not as big of a following. which may make them worth more in the long run.

did we get a s600 here in the states? didn't know. the old fairlady convertible we got i know, and that was a cool little car, very tiny tho, about like a mg. fairlady with sr20 swap would be very nice.

[koukicrisp]

Price is determined by Demand/supply. The more demand the lower the price because you can make up the figures in quantity. That is why RX-7's Supra's and 3000GT's sell so high and Civic's don't, because the demand for Civics are so high. The lower the supply means the higher the demand, which means the rarer it is the more expensive it is. Ex: most people have completey forgotten or never heard of a GT-4, but they still sell for high prices, because they are rare not because of their following.

[garrettej8]

wish I could find a mint TT 6 speed 93-98 supra around here

[dusd0]

i love my 2 crxs they are awesome cars

[AndresDiazChencho]

A first gen GTI is definitely a collectible... the car just has sooo much soul

[mauri310]

WAO! Nice work guys and gals! Extremely informative and nice rides. Keep it up! =]

[LegendaryBadass]

On Autotrader, there is a guy selling a '91 NSX with 32k for $17,100. He's likely crazy because there are several with twice the miles and 10 grand more. Would you rather drive a NSX or a Rabbit?

[Garage419]

can you say carfax?

[LinkinPark96MTM]

getin a 2006 bmw m3 soon cant wait!!!!!!!!!!

[LegendaryBadass]

It's clean, see for yourself. Link won't fit here, so look for search 91 to 91 NSX anywhere. There's only one page, and it's easily to spot, red for $17,100 USD. If I had the money, I'd buy it, use as my daily and sell it for a profit if I ever got bored with it.

[novaboi72]

I've got a 1971 datsun 1200, i wonder? would it be as sought after as those cars?

[LegendaryBadass]

Soon to be collectable, and mark my words:

93-98 Supra Turbo

91-01 NSX

93-95 Rx7

[kneelio321]

umm they already are, but yeah those will explode in 40 years.

[otmlb1128]

yeah. but they have to be stock.

[TGseason10]

Well, the 1980's - early 1990's GTi's are almost at their cheapest at the moment.

[cougarfan1341]

as long as they keep making rear and 4 wheel drive performance cars i dont care about crx's or anything with front drive, they handle like shit, and power distrobution is fair at best.

[darkz2k3]

Great info, superb show guys :)

i predict a horrible increase in Buick Grand Nationals

if you don't know what i mean watch the F&F 4 trailer :(

f&f is the reason why a 13 year old toyota is worth $25-$30k

[kneelio321]

my favorite post-muscle car.

[Garage419]

a good grand national is already worth up to $45k.... a GNX, even more. Great cars though.

[darkz2k3]

if that is the case look for regals turning into turbo regals, GN, and GNX clones.

plus i would really love to see buick bring back even a concept of the Grand National, maybe on the Zeta platform from GM

[RoyalError]

Great show, as usual, good info and questions Matt ;o.

I'd love to have a classic 'stang ):

[JayBrizzle]

Great Piece
