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 AW11 Toyota MR2 has fallen sharply in the Australian market, with the median price now sitting at AUD $24,250 after a 23.7% decline over the past twelve months. The SELL signal reflects sustained downward pressure, though the low-confidence rating warrants caution in interpreting this as a decisive trend given the sparse transaction data.

Liquidity remains thin, with only three recorded sales tracked in the past year and no active listings currently visible. This scarcity of market activity makes price discovery difficult and suggests buyers and sellers may struggle to find counterparties quickly, particularly at asking prices reflecting older valuations.

The AW11 carries a collectible rating with moderate desirability, driven primarily by its cult following among enthusiasts rather than production rarity or investment momentum. Typical examples showing in the market have averaged around 34,859 kilometres, suggesting well-maintained, low-mileage examples remain accessible relative to the global inventory of these cars.

Base-case projections point to material downside over the medium term, with prices potentially declining to AUD $13,203 by 2027 (a 45.6% fall from current levels) and further to AUD $10,996 by 2029 (54.7% total). These forecasts reflect ongoing depreciation pressure rather than any reversal in collector interest, though the low confidence level underscores the volatility inherent in thin markets.

Current market conditions favour sellers looking to exit at today's prices rather than holding speculatively. The combination of thin liquidity, declining valuations, and modest collector demand suggests this is a buyer's window rather than a seller's opportunity for the foreseeable term.
