thing is when i see old DSM like 1st gen GSX...that has to be the uglesit car around....i hope the evo dont turn into beaters 10-15 years from now, but it ist a mainstreame car so i think we will be good.

 

hey isnt the 3000gt old school?

and the last year of production was 99

 

As soon as you park it next to a new lancer. It looks pretty old.

 

I think they became old school by now!

 

@DRAGHICI Yes they are. Now sell me your X ! I can't message ya ! UGH

 

I dont think the CT9A has any features to be "new" when it came out. maybe just the aggressive opening for the IC

Someone just spent $76k on a sub 2,000 mile 05 MR

 

Who buys an Evo and doesn't DRIVE it !?!
That's like not banging your hot wife, just to save her for the next guy !!!

 

thats space age man. "meth kits"

 

Absolutely retarded argument that continually gets repeated. Are you going to sell your wife to the next guy? There are many reasons some people keep low miles on certain cars they own, one of which is a future financial motive. Looks at the prices of mint low mile CT9A's vs high mile clapped-out trash.

 

Then people like that say "that's so stupid why would you get a car as an investment they're for driving" blah blah blah..maybe because people make money from them because there is something called a market for cars! Some cars, like the evo 8/9s currently are not a depreciating asset, they're rising when stored and kept low miles. So its perfectly reasonable for an individual/business to hold onto them and see what they can get in 5-10+ years. Is your wife an asset whos market value is rising? If so I feel sorry for her. Also I don't think the demand for her would go up with age. Quite the opposite.

 

Or they dont have asian friends or afraid of chi-town meets. nothing wrong with that

 

Turns out the original owner is a mitsu collector

 

Yeah...that was me. When I started looking for an Evo IX and spending 40-50,000 on a nicely kept one, I figured spending another $25,000 on a unicorn was worth it.

 

Yeah, he sold it to the dealer to pay for a few years of his daughter's college tuition.
