There are quite a few low mileage, clean, unmolested Supras out there, but the catch is the are quite expensive. $35-$65k

Of all those cars, guess which car is the most desired on the used car market? Anyone see how much used Supras are? Crazy.

Lol. To C&Ds credit, the writing was better in the 1990s as the conclusions. I think the M3 is a winner here.

Supras are one of the few cars not an exotic that appreciated in value. Pretty amazing.

Amazing how fast everyday vehicles are huh

They should've done a comparison of all the high end models of each. Supra TT, sc400, 300zx TT, and m3. But I guess their comparison was price based? I would think a 3-series would've been a better comparison to those lower end models.

But good find none the less.

Amazing how well the 300zx and Supra have aged. Especially when viewing their side profile, they can easily compete with the cars of today, aesthetically.
