Hi all,

Got a question, which i know the answer can be oppinionated, but taking the mk4 supra as an example, i never thought it would be sought out as a "collectible" with prices reaching 100k for low mile stock turbo no targa 6psd models. Is there any reason why one shouldnt expect the st205 wrc to be sought out more in a few years with stock models having a higher premium than modified models.

I ask to know if i should consider leaving my potential wrc as stock as possible. Or is this just one of those cool cars that will never be considered collectible and moding the car wont "ruin" the price.


I searched for collect but didnt see anything related

A bone stock example of almost any car will be worth more than a modified one. There are very few cars that are worth more than stock in modified form, and the only ones that I know off involve modifications made by reputable shops (Singer modified Porsche 911, for example). Whatever you do at home will more likely decrease the value, hence why some people obsess about modifications being 100% reversible.
With that said, the numbers here for ST205 are unlikely to be large, so it may just be more valuable to you to have fun with the car and enjoy it rather than worry about resale value and mileage. True, most desirable collectible cars have basically no miles and all original paperwork, but all their original owners ever did with those cars is look at them. Is that what you want?
