Japan just commited to stop producing them in ~2035 [0], that means all the assembly line for OEMs will also have to pivot, so getting parts will be incredbly hard. I'm a diehard Pajero/Montero fan and have owned several, but this year was my fixations swan song as I had to deal with the delays from COIVD but also the fact that after Nissan's acquisition of Mitsubishi meant its entire back catalog of parts were a liability and they stopped making them in Japan so they simply stopped producing them in any significant numbers for the vehicles still on the road. I can give you a long list of reasons of why that makes sense from a supply chain/logistics standpoint, but the short answer is this too will eventually happen to you car. I worked for BMW before, and its EV program was at best a plaything, but given the amount of progress made by Tesla and now Toyota I fear you may be in a situation where they simply stop producing parts and you'll have to buy broken chassis to just be able to maintain one. In other words, have your fun and keep it as a relic of the 20th Century, or sell it now and get some of you investment back. Get an LFA and keep low miles on it if you want to buy a Toyota that will rise in value if you want something other than a MK4 Supra, I think that will be worth way more in the future and probably sought out by Saudi Shieks as a plaything where gas will still be pennies. 0: https://www.autoblog.com/2020/12/03/japan-considers-ban-on-internal-combustion-cars/ https://www.autoblog.com/2020/12/03/japan-considers-ban-on-i...
