- 1995 Toyota Supra Turbo with less than 10,000 miles on the clock is up for auction.

When it was new, back in the 1990s, the twin-turbo Toyota Supra offered Ferrari-grade performance for a fraction of the price. But three decades on it’s the Toyota that’s pulling in the crazy money.
Scanning through recent internet auction results shows several low-mileage Ferrari F355s have sold for between $84-127,000, but bidding on this MkIV Supra has already hit $150k with four days of the sale still to go.

To be fair, this is no ordinary Supra. Well, it’s ordinary in the sense that it’s completely unmodified, so still in the same spec that all A80s were when they left the factory, but these days that only makes it more desirable. But besides the mostly fantastic condition and the great color combo, it has two big features that are getting bidders excited.
One is that its 320 hp (324 PS) 3.0-liter JZ six was ordered with a six-speed manual transmission rather than the automatic ’box so many Supras got. And the other is the incredibly low 9,981 miles (16,100 km) showing on the digital odometer, and the paper trail to back it up.
According to comments made below the auction post by someone clearly familiar with the car, this Supra has been part of two large collections for the past two decades and barely driven, which helps explain the low mileage and why the interior leather looks almost new.
But he also mentions that it was stored in a non-climate controlled garage, and also outside for a while, giving some clues as to why the suspension components seem surprisingly rusty given the number of miles on the odo.
Our guess is that a good dry ice blasting session would clean the underside up a treat and have the car looking good enough to justify a sale price that could top $200k, as others have before – though only if buyers are willing to look past the black mark on the Carfax report.
The car appears to have sustained some very minor damage in the past, though the only evidence of imperfections today is on the front bumper, which could do with some fresh paint. You can check out the full auction listing here.
