There is no supra museums, and look at the values of those cars. 
I dont really see the value going up, but I see them holding their value very well.
I think the evo holds a better street credit too, than dsms cause of the time they came out. They came out in 03 when the import/sport compact scene was huge. There were so many people getting into the sport compact world. Ask almost any 16 year old now. Do they know what a dsm is?? Wont get too many that do. They know what an evo is?? hell yea they do. They also know what a supra is too lol.
I dont really keep a eye on kbb too much. I watch what they are selling for on the forums. That will tell you what they are worth in the "real world".

Dsm owners had this same conversation over a decade ago. I know because I was one of them. Don't hold your breath. Oh and kbb for my 08 x is 29k last I checked. So far holding value better than my 04 evo did. Not even vr4s held value. 03 to 05 Evos are affordable now and are turning into the new dsm unfortunately. 9s will take a little longer and xs a little longer than that. Think of what these cars truly are. If you think that they are going to go up in value that's just crazy
.Early EVOs and low production models like the RSs will be worth more than their original selling prices in another 20 years or so. The more stock, the higher value.

Why would a VR4 hold value? Zero street cred. Same goes for the X; no one wants the thing. Try selling it for Bluebook or even close to it. Unbelievable.

Street cred? Are you joking? The evo x is going to decrease as well as it also is an econo box. I never argued that? ?? I've owned both a viii and a x. Like I said im a big fan of both. Neither will go up in value. You are dreaming if you think they will. 8s are already cheap, 9s will be next and xs will be no different. The x guys think that if mitsu kills the evo that the x will skyrocket in value being the last evo. They are dreaming as well.

I have noticed that dealerships and private sellers are selling the evo 8/9 for a lot in the tristate area. I saw an evo 9 GSR with 60k selling for $28K?!? I bought my 9 GSR with 5K for $28k!

No, it's not a movie. The demand for the car is real and so are the reasons for it.
Again, what? Please cite some clean low-mileage CT9As that "are already cheap?" Gee, can't find any? How about a X and how many would you like? 
You know, I spend a lot of time on the other X forum and have never seen such a thing. Most X guys (there) either wish they bought a IX or something else entirely. Almost no one thinks the car has value and why would it? The market doesn't see it as a real Evo.
Why fight it? <grin>

DSM's are not an Evo. 3000GT was a joke. Only Evo's are recognized globally.
DSM's and 3000GT's did not have the track dominance and presence the Evo's have.
Look at the other homologation special cars; E30 M3, and early Porsche 911's for a good example.

Haha you are taking this way too personally. I know 2 guys who picked up 9thes in the last yr. One for 20kthe w 545k and one for under 20 w 70a k. There's a stock 9 locally at a dealer for 23k. I believe it has around 45k. I Havnt seen many 08 xs less than 25k in price. Im not comparing the two platforms... just sayin they will all depreciate.

I just bought a 04' SSL GSR lightly modified with 29k miles for $22k out the door (With all new breaks) It was listed for 24,999 and it was a dog fight to get them to 22k. When I left the dealer with the Evo there were 2 others waiting to see the car with cash in hand (or so they say.)
Ive had the car for almost a month and have already had a sincere offer in the car. The only other time that's happened is when I had the Lotus Elise.
