I want an AE92!
Buyer’s guide / sample: late-model AE92.
¥70,000–¥290,000. Supply: extremely scarce! Is private sale the only option?
Number available.
Market price.
A word of advice.
AE92s have become extremely scarce, so if you find one, move quickly. If you want one that meets your standards, check used-car dealers frequently and use private-sale listings in magazines (including Option’s “Cbb” section). Be patient and keep looking!
