I'm perfectly fine still being able to afford parts easily. I don't know the Supra market too well, but I just saw in the current issue of DSPORT that a stock MKIV Supra Turbo transmission can easily sell for more than $3000! OMG I'm sure in a lot of car communities that's commonplace, but I'd...

I never said I expect Honda Preludes to sell for $100k however you think Fox Body Mustangs will. Who's the crazy one here? ROFL

How was I not comparing apples to apples? Those were only examples that Japanese cars have potential to go up in value. There were only a few models even around then because Japanese manufacturers got to the market late so that discussion is pretty much done.I very much agree. It's ridiculous...

I realize that comparisons need to be made because most people didn't care about Japanese cars at all until the 90s, but this isn't meant to be an import vs domestic battle. I don't care if Mustang guys stereotype imports as "chick cars." That honestly seems to be an old school mindset that's...

Just for the record again.

While looks are subjective I completely disagree with this.1. I never intended this discussion to be exclusive to DSMs. 2. I realize Fox Bodies have gone back up in value a surprising amount, but a lot of the completed listings on ebay for them are under $5k.

At the same time though Fox Bodies are not exactly know for being aesthetically appealing, it is just that they are cheap to make fast. I see what you're saying, but I'm not so sure if I agree. Also positive/negative attention definitely isn't exclusive to domestics/imports. I'd say that goes...

I definitely see your point, but part of that is because Japanese cars didn't get big until the 90's. Do you think people will spend more on Fox Bodies in a few decades than they will on say an MR-2, Supra, FD RX-7, or an Integra Type R/GSR? The style of those cars represents that era well to...

All Mustangs are collectable, but I don't see any inherent advantages a Fox Body would have over a DSM. I'd say it's just as much of a cult car. Most non-car guys probably wouldn't say that Fox Bodies are good looking cars. I'll bet Miatas end up being worth more. :D

Found one!1991 TSi AWD with 51,401 Miles, purchased from the original owner, bone stock, even the factory stereo was repaired, 100% bone stock, never modified, $9500

Nice! :applause:Aftermarket wheels though :D

These kind of threads are how thrust bearing failure gets blown out of proportion. Why not check for end play before starting the thread?

redhotridur, that car is freaking gorgeous! I love seeing DSM builds finally getting to this level. :hellyeah:

That's exactly what I was getting at with this thread. There's a few cars I'm already kicking myself in the ass for selling.I challenge anyone to find an ad for a bone stock 1g awd.

Alltracs are definitely great cars! 3SGTE AWD :thumb:
