Not sure if it's because of the big wing or if it's just b/c it's a Mitsubishi. Anyone have any success stories of trading in or selling their Evo?

If you don't agree, go to KBB and compare your car's dealer trade in value to its private party sale value. I guarantee the private party sale value will be a lot more.

Good luck selling it. The used EVO market seams to be pretty weak rite now. I have had mine listed for a couple weeks and had no intrest. Also if you look at all the ads in the cars for sale section you will notice no one is posting up "Sold" in their adds. Hopefully spring brings a demand for used EVO's
