That's actually... not an unreasonable price for a mint-condition Supra.
I could see both sides of the argument for the Evo thread; it's unnatural to see Evo's go for so much, even in mint condition. On the other side where I lean towards, we're in an age where any sports car that's running factory miles and still unregistered 10 years later is going to command top dollar & the Evo has the fanbase in the states to back it, esp. given it went of production here, iirc. It's an obscure sale at best, but not completely outlandish.
But yeah, muscle cars of that era have always been highly desired cars. I imagine that's why the franchise even picked them in the first place. I checked Hemmings to get an idea of what top dollar muscle cars go for, and already, I see a '69 Yenko Camaro for $650,000, a '69 Mustang 429 Boss for $430,000, a '69 Corvette T-Top L88 for $400,000, a '69 Daytona for $315,000, & a '68 Charger 440 R/T for $235,000. These are on the high end of the spectrum, but it demonstrates where the market is on the best examples of these cars & seems to indicate that if you want a moderate example of a desirable muscle car, you're still going to be shelling out a lot of money.
A red Turbo 6MT sold a couple years ago twice for $100,000 with 15k miles. If an automatic is undesirable, the low mileage more than makes up for it.
Appear is the key word. It still has 59,000 miles and someone has fiddled with it per the source, and failed emissions at one point.
It's an example that was modified for use, and put back to stock by the 2nd owner, now up for sale.
I'm amazed people still want to blame that franchise for anything anymore considering they don't even street race anymore. Least, not realistically.

I'm eager to see when/if the car ever finally caps, or if it'll reach GTO levels of absurdity. They seem to double in such a short amount of time recently with one going for $3.57m in 2010, & $8.47m in 2013, that it seems like the car to invest in at the moment. I mean yeah, $15 million is a lot of money, but 3-5 years later, you could get it back and a nice chunk of profit. The car doesn't age and it's still even fresh in the mind of millennials who may one day come into a lot of money; old money already snatched the car up when it was new and is reaping the rewards of it right now.
Oh, I definitely agree; should've said that in my post that I don't foresee it hitting GTO levels in that time frame. Otherwise, it'd be a good idea to start finding a multi-millionaire and selling him on one asap for a small commish.
From what I've seen, the 904 values are slightly higher than the 993. I haven't seen a 993 GT ask for $1.5m personally, more so around $1.1-1.2m on the high end.
A 993 GT2 (a one owner car with 13,000km, Riviera Blue color) sold last year for a record USD $2.4 million, in London, for a LHD car. A 1 of 7 UK spec, 1 of 13 RHD car may be close to that number, if not more. Same miles, Guards Red with the Recaro sport seats and RHD... the price will be off the charts.
