Price & Grade Guide
Shop by budget: Under ¥1.0m · Under ¥2.0m · Under ¥3.0m · Over ¥3.0m
- Generation & rarity: VI TME, clean VIII/IX, and low-mileage X MR units fetch premiums.
- Trim/spec: RS lightweight or MR/Bilstein/Brembo variants with factory Recaro and aero kits add value.
- Mileage & grade: Aim for 3.5–4.5 grades with service records and minimal panel work.
- Modifications: Documented professional mods can help value; poor-quality or R-grade work reduces bids.
- Originality & color: Factory paint and limited colors often attract collectors.
Auction legend: A1 = scratch · U1 = dent · W2 = paint wave/repair · XX = replaced panel · S = rust note · Y = crack.

- 4G63T engines (IV–IX): Verify timing-belt and turbo condition.
- Evo X (4B11T/SST): Confirm transmission service history and check AWC errors.
- Chassis & rust: Inspect underbody and jacking points; avoid corrosion or track fatigue.
- Mods: Review for quality installs; R-grade or XX frame replacements warrant caution.
