What car's value truly baffles you?

It can go either way, insanely cheap or expensive for what it is.

I'll start with the Nissan 200SX/Silvia, now, I'm a big fan of the 200SX, my dad had one when they were new and it's what got me in to cars, but they are insanely priced for what they are, this has been the way for years for them, sure they're getting quite rare now, they were hardly abundant when new, but surely this alone can't be the reason.

As far as I understand, they were hardly iconic, sure they had a bit of rep from fast and furious and the drift crowd like them, but I just cannot understand how they cost £20k for someone else's ratty project, to get a bare decent S15 Spec R costs around £30k, and that's just insane to me. At the end of the day it's a decent-ish car with a rubbish interior that doesn't excel in anything it does and doesn't even have the greatest tuning potential. If someone knows why they command so much money I'd love to know, genuinely.
