I've said on this website mutliple times....2018 model year.

 

I have to respectfully disagree with you on the only reason Supra was popular because of movie Fast and Furious. I'm 50yrs old and have been in car scene since I was 17 and watched important car scene starting in early 80's with Datson 510, RX-3,GTi, VW Rabbit's, then RX7, Starion, and Celica just to name few.

In 1978 Celica Supra was built and every few years they continued to improve it, in 1986 MK III was born first car baring the name Supra but in 1992 is when it started to get rep as a badass car that's when legendary MKIV came out, it was GTR of its time the original Godzilla, the way it just destroyed super cars of day, with that indestructible engine block know as 2JZ GTE. It was already racing legend in1999 and we'll know not only in street racing scene but traditional racing circle as well by the time F&F came out that why they featured it in movie.

I do think IS-F will hold its value but not as well as Supra or NSX. The Supra held its value based on that legendary motor and performance and the NSX for its handling and revolutionary design from a Japanese company. I think the IS F will be remembered as the car that began Toyota's resurgence into performance car market and the first performance car in F line.

 

The Lexus IS F was officially discontinued on April 2014. Meaning, customers were still allowed to order a new vehicle before month end. After that, they ceased orders and building them.

 

And I disagree with you. I bought my current Supra in January of 1997. It is a '93 model, it is a hard top TT 6 speed and it had 32,xxx miles on it when purchased. The seller had been trying to sell it for 6 months without success. I paid $28,500 for it. They were over $50k new at the time. When F&F hit the scene, the resale value of my car skyrocketed. Even now, with 150k miles on it, I could get nearly what I paid for it in 1997 because it is a Supra, it's a hardtop, and it's an original twin turbo - one of less than 350 imported AND because Craig Lieberman's Supra was in F&F. Were it not for that, I doubt I could get even $10k for it.

And while I've always been a fan of the MkIII body style, the drive train was really weak sauce in so many ways compared to even the competition of the time that no one took it seriously. And the only racing the MkIV Supra excelled in was drag racing. Sad but true, the Motorola Cup version of the car was just too heavy to be seriously competitive.

 

I just would like to add that a supra has in my opinion a timeless design. I do think the isf will hold strong. Compare it to the likes of a mercedes s550 (07 to 08). The cars were 100k new and now you can have them for 20-30k. The isf can be market controlled by owners because of rarity.

 

On point. This explains it all in my opinion.
