Whats a used EVO worth?

I was wondering what the used car value of an EVO with 2500 miles on it? Kelly Blue book doesn't have it listed.

Thanks in advance

Possibly, I'm taking a lot of school credits to finish up with my degree. Can't work as much.

I've always heard....as soon as you drive it off the lot, its already depreciated 2 grand.

Granted we are talking about a limited production EVO here.
But...they haven't exactly been selling like hot cakes, so their definitely available.

Just my $.02 worths..

When my car had 10,500 miles on it I had 3 dealers look at it....2 said they would not touch a used Evo at almost any price (ironically they were also Mitsu dealers), and the other offered $16,000.....

I bet you could sell it for 29 grand by yourself. Just list the hell out of it in papers and forums like this and specialty auto sales flyers.

If you try for $29K your going to be waiting awhile to find somebody who doesn't know any better. Especially if places like Alcoa are selling them for $500 over invoice. $25K sounds much more reasonable. Remember any options are now only worth their invoice price not the MSRP price of them, you will never get your money you spent on taxes and registration back and don't even bother trying for the dealer markup amount. Its almost worth it to get gap insurance on it and total the thing or find somebody to just take over payments.

exactly, a used evo wouldn't be worth much to a deal because there would be so many problems with it very soon down the line, try to sell it to a private person and also try ebay because everyone would want to buy a used evo and half of them dont know how many problems they'll get.
