Market price for any all wheel drive turbo vehicle is going to remain above the listed KBB value.

Just look at the selling price of a 1 or 2G dsm. It doesn't matter how many newer cars are released.... the resale will still be very good. Now if you purchased new you will still take it in the shorts but thats the price of buying new.

Whether the 10 is great or crap doesn't matter because the 8/9s are very well built and capable cars.

this car currently is going up 700 dollars in value every month consistently for the past 4 months. every day when i book out the car on KBB i always seem to get a different number. I have a different kbb system as the one the majority of you guys have online. its something called karpower. you can expect evo's to be rediculously priced after the X comes out. If it doesnt you guys are more than welcome to kick me in the nuts......

I dont think it will drop the values, I think we will see a lot of wealthy owners hitting our forums soon. I know there are already are some here. But mitsubishi is looking to attract m3 buyers and they are going to...We may see more aftermarket support and consequenlty lower prices.

You can't really say the X is a poor performing car, just not as good as expected. I don't think the X will have much effect on used 8-9 Evos in the long run because they are just too different. People who will want to get a 8 or 9 in five or ten years will not want to get the X and vice versa. Its like comparing the E30 M3 to the E39 M3.

I think the price will stay the same for current evos, but depending what the people want when purchasing a X, the price might increase because of all the people who would want to mod it and end up disappointed with a busted motor. as for handling, the X is outstanding and handles better than current evo's. personally, i think the evo X will be somewhat of a disappointment to its owners who want a faster car.
You do realize there's PLENTY of aluminum block engines out there completely ******* what the 4G63 can do, right? Come on now, you sound like an idiot. You don't know what it can or can't do, so until then, try STFU.

I would imagine....purely speculation, that the prices are going to go down for a while, then level off and stay strong.

Everyone is going to want an X, whether it be fanboys or newcomers.

The fact of the matter is, once they realize that the Evo X is a great car, but not as sharp as the 9, the 8/9 will become more valuable to folks like us. Thats what I think, but you never know.

How cool will it be to have an original evo before it went mainstream in 15-20 years when cars then may not even use regular gas anymore.....who knows what cars will be like then.....my plan is never to get rid of mine if I can help it....hopefully within the next year or so to even be able to garage it for most of its future existence under my ownership
