I'll leave it at this: its the *mitsubishi* that keeps its value the best. None of the evos out here are gaining any value at all.

 

05 GSR (?) 32k miles, asking $30,000 at Countyline Middlebury, CT.

 

some dealer where i bought my car back last september they had a stock 05 ssl with 15k for $30,000 i was like AH!

 

what about low mileage one owner never modded, new condition EVO's.
they should sell for a premium don't ya think?

 

do you know what it sold for?

 

My 03 has 15,700 on the clock right now.

 

so what would someone pay for your car?

not $17k or $18K, i think your car should be worth $22-$24k maybe more?

 

Buy stocks if you want an investment, buy an Evo if you want to have fun.

 

I think when X came out, not too many people are interested, and still looking for IX or VIII with low milage, VIII and IX will become rare to buy, just give it some time :-)

 

As private owner, depends on the state, I say 20k easy.

 

Those that purchased new will still lose money. Those of us that purchased almost new at a decent price will make out pretty good. I expect to lose about $2k a year driving my 9. However odds are it wont cost nearly that much. Some tuner cars just seem to hold their value. Older hondas and DSMs are selling for thousands above KBB pricing. Evo will more than likely be the same way especially because they are a better car. The platform is proven to be a 500hp capable all weather sexy as machine. The value isn't going dive bomb any time soon. All reasonably priced true performance cars hold their value.... RX7, 240, 300ZX, turbo eclipse/talon, NSX, bla bla bla. No worries here.

Lastly I'm not sure why people claim the evo is an expensive performance car. If I drive it gently I see 28-29mpg which is just as good as most econo cars. I would rather have 5mpg less and be in an EVO.

 

yeah i only see the price of the evo depreciating...it will probably stop sometime soon...then the value should hold for a while...but no one will know until then...so if you think your car is gonna be worth more then park that sob. haha.

 

I think as long as we are in this economic slump cars are just not going to be sold for high prices, nobody will pay for them. If we ever get out of it then you might start to see cars like Evos values going up. But I'm not hoping for much with the way the econmy is right now, not to mention gas prices.

 

anyone interested in my 8MR w/ 18000 babied miles? Pm me

 

The economy is not in the toilet. Energy and food prices have gone up but so have salaries. Overall things aren't much different than they were 8 years ago.
