Thought for a second it might be my old one - its not. I wonder whatever became of my little old red 205GTi 1.6

This is a little bit further afield than Donedeal.

What do you reckon this limited edition AE86 Trueno with 20V engine, 1 of 400 sold for yesterday...



Nope, your wrong.

Try €56,500

So probably works out around €60-65kish landed here.
The world has gone mad.

I keep an eye on Subarus up for auction in Japan and for limited editions low mileage prices have gone a bit nuts in the last while. buyers must have all made money buying gamestop share or crypto

I assume that ae86 was good auction grade and relatively low mileage?

Wasn't pristine.

Grade 3.5C and 177k kms I think for the mileage,plus it wasn't original as seen in the photo.

Considering the AE86 is probably one of the most legendary and lusted after cars in Japan and the bonkers increase in most JDM cars,the price is not to be unexpected I guess.

not totally unexpected i suppose but looks like crazy money to me given mileage and condition

I’d really love a trueno but there’s no changing the fact that somebody has paid €50k for a Corolla.

Insanity.

I know they aren’t making more of them but the bubble is bound to burst on “cars that are only going up in value”.

[Bazg2]

The fact that the demise of the ICE is on the cards for a lot of folk, means we're entering a new era of what value is for iconic motors. That is not just a Corolla, no priest is still sitting with one of them still on their drive with low mileage gathering dust and moss.

[james forde]

Agreed very cool car, would love one for the shed. But 50k on a Corolla no thanks.

Spot on price wise I would have thought?

[jimgti]

My friend has an AE86 black limited sitting in his shed, needing some body work. Must tell him get the finger out.

[Titan]

This is the closest I could get to owning that AE86

It's steering wheel for €600

Yeah if he holds onto it for another year or two he might become an overnight millionaire the way prices are going

Anybody listen to the Joe Rogan podcast with Richard Rawlings?

Some interesting stuff they talked about. Fast N Loud is no more. 30's 40's 50's cars have fallen off a cliff price wise. The only ones in demand now are 60's 70's 80's and 90's.
The generation coming behind us have no real lust for cars the same way the generations before them had. More into iPads, instagram and tech stocks.

I noticed that with a collector that came to look at a car I was selling a while back. He said that his kids and his kids friends had no interest in cars whatsoever. Would be hard to keep demand (and firm prices) in the cars that he has in the shed. (Escort Cossies, MK2 Escorts, Evo's etc) They will embrace the switch to EV's and never look back.
