Not really the norm in the market, but it seems it does happen sometimes. It won't apply to the Evo, but I guess there are some people out there that will pay $45k for a Supra.

I assume you are talking about the Supra Turbo. The non-turbo model can't be worth anywhere near that much. How many Turbos are there in the USA now? Probably very few. Mitsu sells about 5000 EVOs in the USA per year, I think, so there are at least 20,000 EVOs on our roads right now. It's not going to appreciate in price. Not for at least 20 years, and maybe not then.

Yeah the turbo, I'm guessing thats what his father had. I don't know how many of the turbo MK4's came over, but not enough to make it a car that appreciates regularly.
The Evo's won't either, at least not our USDM ones.

just tell them that someone else quoted you 1,000 off msrp for a new MR and if they can do the same deal you will buy from them because they are so close to your area , see if they bite on that i bet they will

morreale.....go to southcoast mitsu..cheapest price for a new IX. You wont regret it. I have a few friends that went from mustang, t/a, or camaro to an evo and they havent looked backed. The most common complaint was missing being able to do all those burnouts....but look at it this way...saves you money on tires

At this point, no dealer in their right mind should be asking for anything more than invoice on an EVO. If they are walk out and just wait a few months. That same car will be on the lot when you go back and they will be more than willing to talk.

There are MR's here in GA that have sat on lots for 6 months or more. They recently started selling the ones they have because they are finally ready to deal on them.

I find it very hard to believe that your example is true. But even if it is true, you're not accounting for inflation though...

$38,000 in 1994 dollars = about $52,000 in 2006 dollars.

So even if the nominal value of the car is $45000 in 2006 dollars, as you claim, the actual value of the car still represents a loss. In other words, a new car, Lancer Evolution included, is never a good investment, unless you are talking about some superexotic like a Ferrari Ezno.
