I hate you.

 

^^I always wonder how i ended up with her all the time....oh and BTW that's after having two of my kids .

 

If the Pope drove it!

 

How much did the Supras cost brand new? I thought they were more than $55,000.

 

Bring an Evo to Canada, if there was a way to register them legally, you would definitely be able to get more then what you paid for it. Unfortunately that can't happen though, stupid Canadian laws

 

Hmm I thought they were too Now dont quote me and ill have to call my buddy bacn home but he got a 1996 or a 1998 the last year made limited Edition and I am almost sure he said he paid 65k for it and that was in 1997 when he got it... I know that cause that was when I got my first bike my 97 900rr

 

They went from a base of around $50,000 from 1993-1996 and then went for I believe a $40,000 base in 1997-1998. I'm trying to remember this from a 1997 Car & Driver issue, so I don't guarantee accuracy.

The future price of your Evo will depend on things that have yet to happen so it is hard to say now. Almost any mint condition sports car will have less depreciation over time than your average vehicle. However wether or not it goes up in value has to do with the way things play out in a history which hasn't happened yet.

 

if they discontinued them...they are already legendary cars...so they dont depreciate fast...so if they stopped making them...they would stop going down and after about 10 years...after they stopped...the price MIGHT rise

 

the only way the evo would appreciate in price is if mitsu killed their evo line right now or after the X...even if the X did suck, evo's wouldn't appreciate that much...btw how much is a tommy maiken evo VI worth right now vs. when it first hit showrooms?

 

i would say doubtful but we could only hope right

 

the only reason those supras appreciated in value was because of the discontinuation just like the grand nationals. If the y were to do that to the EVO in 10-15 years youd seee the same result......BUT you wont

 

In 98 you could get a brand new turbo off the floor for 41K

 

Why so sure?
I heard some people saying that the IX (particulary US MR & European model with AYC) will be considered as the last real EVOs and will be collectible. Ok there are a lot of IX but did you ever ask your dealer how many new units return crashed in the first six month? Of course new X will probably get great marketshare but legend start with the old looking duck we all love! remember the famous golf rabbit...get old but also heavy, soft and lost the GTI life on its way... To my mind, let's enjoy what we can now! I am not sure my back will resist to an EVO in 10 more years :-)

 

all i know if the evo is not going to be like the supra, price wise.

 

It will hold its value well, if well maintained and in mint condition. Just like the 2nd generation eclipse gsx which had the 4g63 turbo. low mileage well maintained still gets top dollar and anybody willing to buy it.
