As we all know, kids are picking up junk FD's for cheap and totalling them. For a consumer to find a FD with original low miles, without a rebuilt motor, is very rare. Especially one in excellent condition. As I have flown around the U.S. to find my FDs.
For the Supras, the general ownership of Supras are older guys that have a bit more money. They understand resale value and don't devalue each others car. Something I notice here on the RX-7 forum, it is rather unfortunate that there are unsupportive members of their own cars value.
I also recently sold my '96 3000GT VR-4 Spyder with 11k miles for $41k. Lots of guys tell me I would get a dime over $30k. Even the president of the 3000GT/Stealth Club told me to sell it to him for $35k or wait for ever to sell it, I sold it one day later. Even on this very forum I was told I would not be able to sell the RX-7, less than 24 hours later it sold.
I believe anyone with a extra clean FD, especially low miles, will have great resale success. It isn't easy to find a nice FD, a lot of junk out there.

Holy cow, nice set of "Hot Wheels" you got there! WTF do you do for a living? My favorite part of your FD is the interior; I dig the silver/black combo 
EDIT: is that your garage that is pictured (where the FD and the other cars are)? NOICE!!!!

I'm more interested in knowing what this guy does for a living.
I'd work all over the world to come home to an FD and Supra like that.
Then again, I come home now to my FD, and it's nice enough..well, it has potential, that's what's important.
And my BROTHER....might be picking up a 60k mileage '94 Supra TT...so, that would be baddass to have next to my FD in the driveway. lol
He used to have his SR'd 240SX and I had my '88 Turbo II...we were like....rivals...and now I have my FD and he might get this Supra? HAHAHHAHA...it doesn't get any funnier than that!!
Brothers...arch rivals!....dun dun dunnnnn


Old pics I had taken. :P
Damn...I really miss my FC now too. It was faster than my FD is now, lol.

Who wouldn't miss that beauty? ;__;
