Finished in Renaissance Red over Ivory with a folder of documentation from new, it is exactly the kind of preserved, correct, low-mileage MKIV that has driven this market to extraordinary heights. As a premium no-reserve-caliber listing already past six figures, it is one to watch closely.1998 Toyota Supra TurboBring a TrailerWhat it's worth right nowClassic.com shows the A80 Supra Twin Turbo averaging around $98,504, with comps for a 1998 Turbo six-speed specifically indicating a range of roughly $124,416 to $153,372, and a recorded high of $242,000 for a 1998 Turbo set in January 2026. The 1998 model year is significant: it was the final year of US sales, as Toyota withdrew the Supra from the American market after 1998, making these last-year cars the rarest and most sought-after.AdvertisementAdvertisementThis car has the core ingredients that command the strongest money: the twin-turbo engine, the six-speed manual, genuinely low 18,000 miles, and a documented history from new. The one factor to weigh is the modifications. It wears Eibach lowering springs, TRD sway bars, a TRD-spec clutch, and Borla exhaust components, which are quality, largely reversible enhancements rather than power-adding engine modifications, but purists paying top money often prize bone-stock originality, which can slightly temper the absolute ceiling.1998 Toyota Supra TurboBring a TrailerGiven the low mileage, the desirable turbo-and-manual configuration, the final-year status, and the strong documentation, I would call fair value roughly $130,000 to $180,000. The current $105,555 bid with eight bids and nine days remaining is already strong and climbing, and with the long auction window and intense interest these cars generate, expect it to build well into that range.Condition and detailsThe specification and preservation are the story. This is a 1998 Supra Turbo in Renaissance Red over Ivory leather, with the removable roof panel, a rear wing, chrome 17-inch five-spoke wheels, and the full complement of the twin-turbo drivetrain: the 2JZ-GTE inline-six, the six-speed manual, and a Torsen limited-slip differential. It shows 18,000 miles, with only about 100 added under current ownership, and comes with the window sticker, owner's manuals, and a binder of documentation dating from new. Commenters, a knowledgeable and enthusiastic crowd on these, repeatedly praised the condition, with one noting the undercarriage is exceptionally clean for a car of this age.1998 Toyota Supra TurboBring a TrailerThe modifications are worth cataloging clearly. The car has been fitted with Eibach lowering springs, TRD sway bars, a TRD-specification clutch installed back in 2002, and Borla exhaust components. These are tasteful, period-appropriate, and largely reversible, and importantly they are not the kind of high-boost engine modifications that raise reliability concerns on a 2JZ. Recent maintenance includes a June 2026 fuel-pump replacement. The tires are older Bridgestone Potenza RE020s, which on a low-mileage car like this are likely aged and should be treated as a replacement item regardless of tread.1998 Toyota Supra TurboBring a TrailerThe diligence here is about confirming originality and correctness given the money involved. Review the documentation binder to verify the mileage and history, confirm which components are modified versus original and whether the original parts are included, and inspect the car for correctness against its factory specification. Address the open recall the Carfax notes at a Toyota dealer, replace the aging tires before hard driving, and get a pre-purchase inspection from an A80 specialist, which is well worth it at this level. This is a dealer consignment through a BaT Local Partner in New York.1998 Toyota Supra TurboBring a TrailerAdvertisementAdvertisementThe offerSpecificationDetailMakeToyotaModelSupra Turbo (A80)Year1998Mileage18,000EngineTwin-turbocharged 3.0-liter 2JZ-GTE inline-sixPower320 horsepower, 315 lb-ftTransmissionSix-speed manualDrive typeRear-wheel drive with Torsen limited-slipExterior colorRenaissance RedInterior colorIvory leatherCurrent bidUSD $105,555Interested in this car? View the listing here.What makes the A80 Supra uniqueThe fourth-generation A80 Supra Turbo is arguably the definitive Japanese performance car of the 1990s, and its reputation rests almost entirely on its engine. The twin-turbocharged 2JZ-GTE inline-six made a factory-rated 320 horsepower but is famous for its cast-iron bottom end's ability to handle enormous power, with tuners extracting four-figure outputs and even 700 horsepower reportedly possible without opening up the engine. Paired with a stout six-speed Getrag manual, a limited-slip differential, and a chassis benchmarked against the world's best, it delivered supercar-humbling performance that period road tests famously found could embarrass far more expensive European exotics.1998 Toyota Supra TurboBring a TrailerThat combination of near-indestructible engineering, immense tuning potential, and genuine 1990s icon status is why the A80 Turbo has become one of the most valuable and celebrated modern collectibles, its fame amplified by pop-culture and a generation of enthusiasts who grew up idolizing it. Values reward low mileage, the manual gearbox, originality, and the final-year 1998 designation most of all. A preserved, documented, low-mileage 1998 Turbo six-speed sits at the very top of the conversation, which is exactly why this car generates the excitement it does and why the bidding moves the way it does.My takeThis is very close to the ideal MKIV Supra to want: a final-year 1998 Turbo with the six-speed manual, extraordinary 18,000 miles, and documentation from new, in an attractive and correct color combination. My fair-value call is $130,000 to $180,000, reflecting all of those strengths, with the mild reversible modifications the only thing keeping it from the very top of the range where bone-stock cars live. I would be comfortable being active into that range for a car that verifies as clean and correct as it presents.AdvertisementAdvertisementThe buying advice, appropriate to the value, is about verification. Go through the documentation binder to confirm the mileage and history, establish exactly what is modified versus original and whether the removed factory parts are included, and inspect the car for correctness. Handle the open recall, plan to replace the aged tires before driving hard, and get a pre-purchase inspection from an A80 specialist. Do that, and the current $105,555 bid is an early figure on one of the most desirable Japanese collector cars there is, with real room to run over the long auction ahead.Disclaimer: This post is for informational purposes only.
