Premiums compare the median price of sales with each option against comparable sales without it, mined from verified auction listings. 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 Nissan Silvia S15 has settled at a median of $28,314 in the US market, down 4.9 percent over the past twelve months. With only one tracked transaction in that period, the sample size is too thin to establish meaningful directional momentum, though the broader classification as an appreciating classic suggests structural support beneath recent weakness.

Liquidity remains severely constrained, with zero active listings and just a single sale tracked across the entire market surveillance window. This illiquid environment means pricing discovery is episodic at best, and any prospective buyer or seller should expect wide bid-ask spreads and extended holding periods.

The S15 commands a modest collectibility score of 6, reflecting its status as an appreciable but not yet consensus collectible. Desirability is rated low in the current US market, likely due to import availability restrictions and the car's position outside mainstream collector consciousness compared to earlier Silvia generations.

Transacted examples averaged 80,400 miles, indicating that surviving US examples tend toward mid-range mileage with real-world use rather than low-mileage time capsules.

The outlook presents headwinds over the near term, with projections calling for a 10.9 percent decline over three years and a 14.1 percent drop by year five. These baseline forecasts reflect ongoing liquidity constraints and modest collector demand, though the appreciating-classic classification preserves the possibility of upside surprise if broader JDM enthusiasm accelerates Japanese market access.
