Premiums compare the median price of sales with each option against comparable sales without it, mined from verified auction listings. Prices are adjusted to the model's median mileage before comparing. Sales are pooled across markets on a relative-price basis, so exchange rates and market levels can't skew the split. Options interact in ways a one-at-a-time split can’t capture — treat each premium as directional rather than gospel.
Marque analyst note
The Toyota MR2 SW20 sits at a median price of $18,670 in the current US market, with minimal movement tracked over the trailing year given the thin transaction sample of just three sales in that period.
Liquidity remains a defining constraint for this generation of MR2. With only thirteen total sales tracked across the full dataset and a single active listing at present, buyers and sellers should expect extended holding periods and limited negotiation leverage in either direction.
The typical MR2 SW20 changing hands carries approximately 98,300 miles, suggesting that most examples now in circulation have seen meaningful use rather than garage storage. This mileage profile reflects the car's original positioning as a driver's machine rather than a showpiece.
Classified as a stable modern classic with a collectibility score of 5, the SW20 occupies a modest tier within the Japanese sports car hierarchy. Desirability remains low relative to peer-generation competitors, which constrains both floor prices and upside potential in a capital-constrained collector market.
The three-year and five-year base projections hold the median at $18,670 with zero percent appreciation expected. Without transaction momentum, renewed enthusiast interest, or market-wide appreciation in the modern classic segment, this generation appears to have found its current equilibrium.
