SSL
MR
SE
RS
GSR

Which one do you guys think is worth the most money when it comes down to it. Each car has something the other doesn't. The RS is rare but it doesn't have many features. The MR is loaded but its also common.... etc.

 

Fully stock low milage MR, imo

 

^ that.

 

According to KBB the MR is gonna be worth the most, followed up the GSR, then the RS. The SE isn't listed cause it was more of a exterior package. But honestly its not the "trim level" that should determine the price of a evo, it's the cleanliness and how well it is taken care of. any clean, low mileage evo is a rare gem no matter what version it is.

 

I have an RS, so i'm gonna say.............RS. Not like anyone didn't see that coming.

The funny thing is it took me over 6 months to find the evo I wanted. I wanted a white RS and nothing else. I wanted the lightest evo to start with and I didn't want that 6 speed. Since I was building a car I wasn't commuting in, I really didn't care about all the extra electrical options that the rest had. I do wish it had abs, but hey I can't have everything.

Also after I bought mine I read on these forums that I have 1 of around 500 white RS evo 9's that's in america. That's an exclusive group if the numbers are right.

 

Exactly. That's the beauty of each "trim" level of the Evo. Theres one designed for everyone and most of the time people have different opinions about which one is worth more to them.

I even think the SSL had the highest sticker price when new.

 

And btw there was only 179 White 2006 RS's made.
And only 179 Red 2006 RS's Made.

 

Where did you get that info? that made my smile a little wider! And yes the different trim options are very nice. Like my friend wants to buy one for commuting, so I told him if he didn't want to highly modify it then that 6 speed might be very nice on the freeway.

 

Just Evo Knowledge my friend. Check out the link:

Personal favorite is the SE package because it has all the features the MR does and it has the 5 speed trans. Even though 6-speed just glides on the freeway.

 

Was going 150mph yesterday on the highway, was only at like 4000 rpm.
Moments like that make me love my MR.

 

Personally my two favorite Evo IX's are the RS and the SE. Luckily I own a Tarmac Black Evo IX SE myself and I couldn't be happier. Visually I feel its the best looking Evo IX. From the SE lip, to the Red stitched Recaro's, to the Diamond Black BBS wheels, the car just looks amazing. However I do love the rawness and how hardcore the RS is. I love the fact that a/c and a radio were options as opposed to standard. I'm not sure how many Evo IX SE's got sent to the states but I'd take a guess that it wasn't that many. The RS is definitely the rarest Evo IX in the states. I know for a fact only 358 were shipped here. So to me the SE and the RS are worth the most, but thats just my opinion

 

The SE is just not an appearance package. The SE has forged BBS wheels, aluminum roof, front brake air ducts, and HID's.

 

MR SE....come at me bro!

 

no one in this thread said it was a "appearance package"
