No its not a collector's car, not even close. Perhaps in 30 years...we'll see. =)

 

Look at 2 much rarer Mitsubishi products of yesteryear - the Galant VR-4 and the 3000GT VR-4. Both of those cars were produced in much lower numbers than the Evolution for the US market.

How are those two examples holding their value today, 18-15 years later? Certainly better than your average family sedan, but they have a long way to go to reach "collector" status.

 

Maybe in about 30+ years, YES they will be.

 

already started my collection, I have one so far

 

LOL i never thought of having it in my car gallery.. Good car, but go out and have fun with it :P

 

q8 Evo your profile says tarmac black mr, i thought they didn't make the MR in black??sorry for the ot

I don't know what exactly makes them a collector car, but the VIII is. There's a couple of people running around Ohio with Collectors plates on their EVO VIII.

 

It's common knowledge that the X will be running a completely different motor, so this idea doesn't add up...

 

do you see how much a 1990 eclipse gsx costs? That is how much an evo will cost in about 17 years. You people need to stop acting like this car is the greatest engineering feat to date.

 

And anyone who thinks the SE is gonna be more special than any other Evo, remember that you can buy an SE badge, the lip, red stitching at some upholstery shop, the roof (hell you can get the AMS CF roof and be even more crazy), and HID's from Mitsu as well.

 

Got mine at Medina Mitsubishi!!

Anyone seen any EVO on Barret-Jackson yet? I have not, but don't watch that often. I think if it shows up and sells there, could be called a collector @ that point.

 

It is what is. If you don't believe me than so be it.

 

this thread is useless... EVO is not that car that is going to be a collector thing. I am sure we all know that
