thanks biden!

Not gonna lie it looks pretty badass, I was wondering when the day would arrive that 90s cars have classic appeal.

312 gs? No way. It's probably the rare collector value, says they only made 400.

That's the ultra-exclusive, ultra-elusive Subaru 22B, that's a very special car and quite easily the only real collectors Subaru. It was a highly limited WRC special STI with two doors and WRC bodywork with a bespoke engine and other upgrades, offered during the Colin McRae era, sold out instantly, and it's been a high priced prize for JDM and WRC fans at auctions ever since.

[tunafishha]

looks like a 30k car.

A lot of JDM classics from that era have been becoming real collectors items. I mean try buying a 90's era Nissan GTR.

Damn I've heard of them but never knew how rare they were. I always wanted an ST205 celica GT4 I think they made like 2500 of them if I remember correctly. They sell for around 16-18k in the states last time I checked. I wonder if those will eventually skyrocket in price.

[M0nkeyPrick]

SOmeone aware a brah who doesn't know anything about cars..what makes it special to sell for 300k+?

At some point it's just people blowing away money because they can and the exclusivity nostalgia etc. Kind of like a million dollar watch or a million dollar painting. This website I linked is retarted people overpay just because I feel like they can.

[MisquePhaggot]

It’s because people are starting to realise the potential of these classic 90s era JDMs miscers wouldnt understand stick to “supercars” LOL

It's also an investment. There is the commodity fetishization, but rich people also buy these things to grow their wealth. It's also kind of a gamble though if they can't resell it at a higher price, and gambling is also something that rich people like to do.

Iconic car

True that.

Meh I've never been a supercar fan at all. I like JDM cars and Murican cars with V8s.
These are some of my favorite cars of all time and really rare but anywhere priced close to this Subaru. Legendary 3SGTE can handle a crap ton of boost on the stock motor.

[HarryfromCali]

Hngg 'mirin, the 22b of that era is something that's extremely rare and sought after by JDM and rally lovers and I really love that color it comes in

[keyboardworkout]

Wasn't there an Australian model 22b?

Been looking at 97-99 3000 GT vr4’s and the prices are insane atm.

For that price do they fix the rod knock and the head gaskets?

It is pretty funny to me how often WRX and STIs blow head gaskets.

[EDcellent]

Ameribrah V8 guy checking in, but the 90's was such a great decade for Japanese cars, they peaked then IMO.

I had a dodge stealth ES/3000GT was such a fun car

Never heard of rod knock or head gasket issues.

However I let a friend drive it and he floored it miss shifting and broke the belt causing the heads to lock up, cost 3000$ to fix as it’s the 60k maintenance...

Had to do water pump, timing belt, heads had to be worked on (new lifters) plus countless other small things.


Thumb rule is never buy one at 60k/120k/180k unless it’s had its 60k maintenance done on belts/pumps

[FallOutBrah]

damn auction winner must be on that ceo/10k a day time.

This. It's worth it to people who are subaru fans. It's basically the ultimate subaru collector to own.

Lol floored and snapped that chit up.

No offense, but that car was/is a sack of chit. My buddy had 3000gt vr4 and I was incredibly underwhelmed.

It’s actually not the technology on it for early 90s is actually out of this world for its time. They were called corvette killers for a reason back then. I paid like 2500 for the car then too but yeah that was the first and last time I ever let a friend touch my car

He literally floored it miss shifting and kept it redlined not in gear for a few seconds and BOOM. I couldn’t believe what I saw. He was the friend everyone said can drive and knew cars etc. was so pissed but you live n learn

Facts. After seeing one in person at the Subaru museum in Japan I've always wanted one.

For sure.. me and my buddies were all ricers, so we saw some people that could “drive” do some stupid ****. Fortunately our Honda’s could take a ton of abuse lol, well other than when I was doing neutral drops in my first civic (AT) and grenaded the tranny lol

[terrorgunt]

LOL @ ricer *******s.

[tehgosu]

strong suspension @ 1:22 mins in, I thought they were rally cars

actually the whole vid it's vibrating AF
