A clean 90s sports car costs anywhere from $11,000 for a Miata to more than $300,000 for a 993 Turbo. The decade gave us twin turbos, pop-up headlights, the last air-cooled 911 and the first cars that still feel modern on the road, and every one of them is now past 25 years old.

Market values are CLASSIC.com benchmarks and Hagerty figures as of September 2026, rounded. Sales mentioned below are US auction results.
Pop-up headlights, rear-wheel drive and about 2,200 pounds. The benchmark sits near $12,000, and it remains the easiest way to own a 90s sports car and drive it every weekend.
The Boxster launched in 1997 and saved Porsche. The S arrived for 2000 with more power and a six-speed. Manual S cars benchmark near $17,000, and a 2002 S with 68,000 miles sold for $26,000 in September. It's the cheapest mid-engine Porsche you can buy.
The Dodge twin of the 3000GT VR-4, with the same all-wheel drive and twin-turbo V6. It benchmarks near $17,500, less than its Mitsubishi sibling, and a 12,000-mile 1991 sold for $26,700 in April.
Mid-engine, turbocharged and famous for snap oversteer in the wrong hands. US Turbos benchmark near $23,000, and a 43,000-mile 1993 sold for $28,000 in September.
Twin turbos, all-wheel drive, four-wheel steering and active aero in the early cars. Coupes benchmark near $25,000, and a 20,000-mile 1995 sold for $37,000 in July.
A 300 hp twin-turbo V6 and four-wheel steering in a body that still looks good. The benchmark is near $28,000, and a 28,000-mile 1995 five-speed sold for $43,000 in September.
The US got a 240 hp version of the European car and it still became the sports sedan benchmark. Manual coupes sit near $29,000. The 1995 Lightweight is the outlier, with one selling for $249,500 in December 2025.
Built from mid-1999, with a 9,000 rpm redline and a six-speed. 2000 model year cars benchmark near $30,000, and low-mile examples go much higher: a 9,000-mile car sold for $45,000 in September.
The last front-engine four-cylinder Porsche, with 240 PS from 3.0 liters. Manual coupes benchmark near $32,000, and a 1993 sold for $69,000 in February.
The Lotus-designed LT5 V8 made 375 hp, then 405 from 1993. Values run from about $24,000 to $48,000, a bargain for what was once called the King of the Hill.
A sequential twin-turbo rotary and one of the best-looking shapes of the decade. US cars benchmark near $41,000, and a 39,000-mile car sold for $60,000 in August. Read our Mazda RX-7 FD3S buying guide.
The "clown shoe". The M Coupe benchmarks near $42,000, and a 2001 with 81,000 miles sold for $45,000 in August. Late 2001 and 2002 cars got the S54 engine from the E46 M3.
The B18C revs past 8,000 rpm and the chassis is still a reference for front-wheel drive. Unmodified cars are the challenge. Recent US sales include a 1997 at $43,500 and a 2001 at $42,000.
An 8.0-liter V10 with 400 hp and no traction control. Hagerty puts a #2 condition 1992 car at about $69,000, and a 15,000-mile 1992 sold for $99,400 in May.
A twin-turbo V8 in the wedge-shaped Esprit. Recent sales include a 2001 V8 with 11,000 miles at $87,000 and a 2004 Final Edition at $94,000.
An aluminum body, a mid-mounted VTEC V6 and development input from Ayrton Senna. Early coupes benchmark near $84,000, and a 13,000-mile 1991 sold for $135,500 in August.
The 2JZ-GTE made 320 hp in US spec and handles far more. US Turbos benchmark between $97,000 and $107,000. See our Toyota Supra Mk IV buying guide.
The last air-cooled 911. A manual Carrera coupe benchmarks near $99,000, and a Carrera 4S near $168,000.
A 3.5-liter V8 with five valves per cylinder, 375 hp and a gated six-speed. Manual cars benchmark between $137,000 and $183,000, and a 1997 Spider manual sold for $280,000 in September. For the look at a lower price, see the poor man's Ferrari from the 1990s.
The first 911 Turbo with twin turbos and all-wheel drive. It benchmarks near $257,000. A 1996 with 31,000 miles sold for $306,000 on Bring a Trailer in September, and a 73,000-mile 1997 brought $220,000 at Mecum the same month.
Mileage and originality drive price more than anything else in this market. A modified car often sells below the benchmark, and a low-mile original can bring double. Budget for a pre-purchase inspection by a specialist in the make.
For buyers outside the US, the rules depend on age. In Germany, a car must be 30 years old for an H-plate, which in 2026 means 1996 and earlier builds, so an early NSX or 300ZX qualifies and an S2000 doesn't yet. Our 1990s German performance cars guide covers the European side. Buyers in the US looking at Japanese-market versions of these cars can import anything built on or before September 2001 under the 25-year rule; see our guide to the best 90s JDM cars.
The Acura NSX, Porsche 993, Ferrari F355, Toyota Supra Turbo, Mazda RX-7 FD and Dodge Viper RT/10 lead most lists. The Miata, E36 M3, 300ZX Twin Turbo and Integra Type R are the best-known picks under $50,000.
The Mazda Miata, at about $12,000 for a clean NA. The Boxster S and Dodge Stealth R/T Twin Turbo also sit under $20,000.
Low-mile, unmodified examples of the NSX, F355 manual, 993 Turbo and first-year Viper have posted the strongest recent results. Average cars have been flatter.
Yes. Any car can be exported, but the tax and registration benefits in countries like Germany depend on the car being 30 years old, which covers 1996 and earlier builds in 2026.
