Where'd you see that price? Is that MSRP?

 

I think he meant an 04 model. Maybe the 04 RS for that price?!

 

I think it is. My buddy was pricing them. I hope it's not. I hope they are still around $30k or I'm like $6k upside down!!

 

Oh, She's detailed. She stays detailed!

 

Okay, I found where you got that price.

Ahh...It was the RS that he priced. Cool.

 

Supply and Demand mandates that trade value on "any" Evo is "high book". The stealership can take their "wholesale black book" and shove it up their AS#. There are no Evo's on the wholesale market - to be bought - and therefore there is no established "market" value for this car. Don't get hosed, demand high book (kbb).

What is everybody talking about? I'm in the market for an used 2003 EVO and all I can tell you is that the cars value has held up very well, much better than expected, which is a reason it has taken me longer to purchase an EVO. This statement seems to be accurate especially since the EVO just recieved an award for holding it's value. Right now 2003 models are selling for $25,000 to $28,000 in Southern California, around the rest of the country I have seen them (2003 models) selling for as low as $23,000 to $28,000. So I suspect that when the 2005 models are released these prices will drop, which I am hoping for. I am thinking the prices of 2003 EVO will drop to around $20,000 (lowest) to $26,000 (highest). I believe that you could sell your car for somewhere between $20,000 and $26,000. Your car looks to be in great condition and somewhere between $24,000 and $26,000 it will surely sell. Hope your still not upside down, but I hope people learn to never pay the dealer premium on a car, it totally f*cks you in the re-sale department. I mean you buy a $30K car for $38K, it still gonna be worth $30K.

 

"Other things that can hurt resale value are garish colors, custom modifications and lack of popular options. Don't try to save money on your new car by not getting things like power windows and door locks, cruise control or an adjustable steering wheel."

people with an RS may have trouble trying to resell their car, especially if they've modified it...

 

I got the evo for $26k plus taxes and **** which came out to be like ~$28,500. I would not even think of selling it for anywhere near $20k, that figure is rediculous.

 

Wow...thats good to hear !

 

If you're wondering on value you'll have the assurance that your Evo keeps it value, because it's rated as one of the best cars which maintain their value! check out the thread with the info!

That is why I said $24K to $26K, or did you miss that.

 

The main reason I wanted to know the value is because of a Freeeekin Phenomenal deal I was going to get on a '99 Carrera. I have decided to keep the EVO so really it has become a non-issue. BUT, feel free to continue the discussion if it suits ya!

Seems the 05 EVO is one of the least depreciating vehicles to own !
