He covered Dez on the outside today ? <| sep |> I ' m of the opinion that early WRXs are going to become classicsespecially the bugeyes . But the 04 carries essentially the same styling . The downside is it would take 20 years or so to find out . I say 20 years based on some anecdotal experience . My dad had a 77 ' celica he sold in 1991 or so . It was in brilliant shape , and my dad sold it as a favor for a relative , but was sad to let it go . And now , a clean Celica goes for $ 10 k plus . Celica Supras same . The 8592 supras are starting to pick up in value now too . What ' s strange is that the last gen Supras never really lost much value , but that ' s not normal . Anyways , the early WRXs were novel in design and performance . The main thing that caused depreciation was how well they sold , which paradoxically might help their status later it ' s almost impossible to find an early example that isn ' t beaten to death and stock . And even when they are , they ' ve held onto their value remarkably well . The Nissan 240 zx might be the most comparable example I can think of , in that they sold a TON of them , but are rare to find now in good condition . A clean Nissan 240 sx might fall into the same category sometime soon as well . So if you have the room for it , and you like it , might be worth holding onto it .
