More like 31k...24-27 is what 03s go for with 20k miles, and they are not limited editions.

you can go to a dealer and buy a new MR for 33k. I don't think you're going to get 31 for a modded (no warrenty) evo with 15k mi.

Who said it has no warranty? Mine is modded and has the full warranty still. 2k less than the lowest possible invoice price is pretty good for a limited edition car less than one year old. You see people buying 03s for 22-24k with more miles that are worth far less even when some people have bought new 03-04s (in 05) for 24-25k. 31 is reasonable to expect at this point.

I'm not sure the mods help. I'd pay less for a car that's been modified, not more. Who wants to argue with a dealer that your car has been modded and you have no warranty? $26 to $29?

you have a warrenty until something breaks and the see the MBC and drag racing times. Invoice on an MR is 32.7 new (from edmunds) and you should have no problem getting if for invoice about now. He may be able to do that well in a private sale, but I don't think that's what it's worth.

please dont accuse me of "hating", I have an MR with about 13k and that's about the price range I think it would get... (not what I'd sell it for)

Mods don't count, if anything it's depreciated further.

I'd knock $2k off just for titling it, then another $3k for the mileage. So whatever the sticker was, subtract $5k. If a prospective buyer has a problem w/ the mods on the car, I'd say that's worth another $500 discount for wear/tear.

in perfect condition your car is worth about $30,000

But it's not in perfect condition. More than likely the tires and brakes need to be changed and the fuilds need to be changed. And of course mod's depreciate your car, to a certain point but can add value depending on the mod's you have.

To be honest your car is worth about $28,500 to $30,000 private party and $25,000 trade in Unless you trade it in to another manufacturer. then you could probably get $28,000 trade in
