Toyota Chaser

The Toyota Chaser is a mid-size sedan that shares its platform with the Mark II and Cresta. While early generations existed, collectors focus on the JZX90 (1992-1996) and JZX100 (1996-2001) models, especially the Tourer V variants. These cars came equipped with the legendary 1JZ-GTE 2.5L twin-turbo (and later single-turbo VVT-i) inline-6, making them favorites in the global tuning and drift communities.

Collectibility is driven by its JDM pedigree, rear-wheel-drive layout, and immense tuning potential. Finding an unmodified, low-mileage Chaser Tourer V is becoming difficult, as many have been modified for performance or used in motorsport. This scarcity of clean examples is pushing values upward, particularly for well-documented cars with desirable factory options and manual transmissions.

The market for Chasers is active, with an average sale price around $14,541 for imported models from the 1990s. The wide price spread reflects the vast difference between project-grade automatic cars and clean, manual-swapped, or factory manual Tourer V models. As more examples become legal for import into the US under the 25-year rule, demand is expected to remain strong.

Based on 12 recent sales, prices range from $7,890 for project-quality cars to $30,000 for clean, desirable variants.
