How much is my car worth?

Ok so I was just curious to know how much my Evo in its current state might be worth.

Its a 06 Evo MR with just over 10000 miles on it and it is in Dark Grey.

I have an Evo that has had just mostly engine parts upgrade. Some Body braces and a turbo timer, boost controller and Deffi and AEM gages.

The car makes about just over 400 WHP on a Dyna-pack on pump gas with a stock ecu that was reflashed.

Everything works great but the car is super loud.

I have most of the original parts that came off the car.

Can some one tell me what would be the best way to sell it? Because I know a normal car dealer would just totally jack me. Also how much could I roughly get out of the car realistically?

Honestly... I would imagine out right sale to another would be somewhere around $28,000 trade in would be somewhere around $23,000 dealer would sell for around $30,000 +- a few grand based on condition...

Evos are not holding the value i personally wanted them too.. i hope the new one is a complete failure and my IX is worth millions

$28,000 to another person $23,000 dealer is if it was totally stock right?

I have spent like close to $20000 just for the mods and installation on this car.

Condition is perfect. I garage the car and I don't think there is one scratch on the car. Oils get changed way more then most people ever do for their cars.

well actually a modded evo is usually worth less than a bone stock one because people want to do their own mods plus if its modded its been driven hard usually, not saying that yours was check out this one its listed for a lot less than some of the others of the same year with no mods, and its been on there for like a month or two

Very true. But i dont know what you had $20,000 invested into only to get about 400whp on a dyno pack. I invest $860.00 and make 330/330 on buschurs mustang dyno and my car would have made over 400 on a dyno jet (according to ones calculations) plus it ran a 12.1 @ 116mph (so i know the numbers did not lie )


The sucky thing is, that i have friends that own US Auto mart locally, and pick EVO's up 2006/2005 with about 8,000 miles for about 22 grand at the auction... And if they can get them for about 22,000 at the auction, what do you think the last dealer gave the poor guy that traded it in... 18,000 or 19,000 ?

Best bet is to list it now, drive it NOT AT ALL to keep miles off it, and sit on it until it sells to the RIGHT buyer who would appreciate the car....

Put it back to bone stock. Even the paper air filter.

List it around 30-32k obo, and take 26-28k. U are selling a piece of automotive crack rock, u just need to find the right addict.

Well like I sayd thats just over 400 on pump gas and its not no fancy 93 octane its 92 octane gas around here in Washington.

I haven't tried it yet but I am sure the numbers would be interesting if it was on meth or race gas.

Guys.. I have not said that I am going to sell it.

I just want to know how much it's worth at this moment and what the selling scene is like for the custom Evo's.

You must be the only dealer in the US that offers fair trade in values.
