Toyota Mark II Submodels
The Toyota Mark II began in 1968 as a larger, more upscale version of the Corona. Over nine generations, it evolved from a simple family car into a sophisticated rear-wheel-drive sports sedan, particularly from the X80 chassis onward in the late 1980s. It was often sold alongside its platform siblings, the Chaser and Cresta, creating a legendary trio of JDM sedans.
Collectors seek out the Mark II, specifically the JZX90 and JZX100 variants from the 1990s, for their connection to performance. These models share the revered 1JZ-GTE turbocharged inline-6 engine with the Toyota Supra A70, making them a favorite in the tuning and drifting communities. Their RWD layout and robust aftermarket support make them an accessible alternative to more expensive performance icons.
The market for the Mark II is defined by the 25-year import rule, which has made 1990s models widely available in North America. The average sale price of around $13,000 indicates that many are affordable project cars, while the top of the market sees prices nearing $200,000 for exceptionally rare, pristine, or professionally built examples. The car's value is heavily tied to its specific model (Tourer V being the most desirable), condition, and modification quality.
Buying Tips
- Check for rust, especially in the rocker panels, strut towers, and underbody. Many cars came from regions in Japan where road salt isn't used.
- The 1JZ-GTE engine is strong, but verify its health. Look for oil leaks from the valve cover gaskets and camshaft seals, and be wary of poorly executed modifications.
- Test all interior electronics. Digital dashboards, climate control units, and power accessories from the 90s can be complex and expensive to repair.
- Many Mark IIs are automatic. If buying one, ensure it shifts smoothly without hesitation. For manual conversions, inspect the quality of the work and clutch feel.
- For recently imported cars, verify all customs and titling paperwork is complete and correct to avoid future registration issues.
Prices range from $550 for project cars to $193,388 for highly collectible or modified examples.
