I paid 19k for a ww ix mr about 6 months ago it had 74k on it. Few bolt on's mostly stock.

 

Harry Truman once remarked about a desire for a one-armed economist. That's due to every prediction being followed by OTOH. It's almost always the case - two sides to every model - but not for this. The future of the Evolution market could have been, and was, outlined in '08. We have just a few more years to go, until most of the POS ricer special Evos are gone, which will leave a relatively small, select population of good Evolutions. Grab 'em while you can.

PS. Hey, Smurf!

 

i must say the prices these days r 20k and better w60k plus miles. still hard to find in good shape and not riced out.

 

You're right. There are some good cars left, but the number is far outweighed by busted-up, poorly done modification projects. One just has to come to terms with waiting for the right car to come along. Not something I enjoy saying.

 

I am the single owner of a stock 2006 RS with 33K miles. The only thing I've done to it is add a stereo (listened to the engine music for a few months first, though ).

I like the idea that my car has held its value but even if I wanted to sell it (which I don't), I haven't seen a car that I would want that is anywhere near the price and that would still give me the same feeling as this one. At this point, I could see keeping it for another 10+ years.

 

and then there are those of us turning our cars into RSs LOL. grass is always greener, i suppose.

 

I had a RS. Loved it! Sometimes I wish I'd bought another, instead of the SE, and then I remember its headlights and my aging eyes, and vividly recall why I opted for a different model. FWIW, my SE has ~35K miles on its clock and it's most certainly not for sale. I bought it to keep.

 

Same here. Still bone stock!

 

I bought an GG IX for $18,800 with 55k miles in May 2014 from a private party. It had some minor bolt ons and was in awesome running condition. However, it was filthy because it wasn't cleaned in 2 years and had a damaged rear bumper as well as a door that needed replacing. I think I got a great price and don't regret the purchase a single bit.

 

2 deals fell through for me and I'm just about ready to say screw it and buy a all wheel drive TL and call it a day. people trying to get top dollar for junk cars. must be out there minds! i wasn't born yesterday, I'm almost 40.

 

sh. you're making the rest of us 40yr olds look bad. i highly recommend you go buy that TL. stick with Hondas.

 

I'm 51 and I agree. Not meant for an Evo.

 

lol

 

us old guys love the speed!

 

took my 2006 IX MR to South Coast Mitsubishi today for oil change, they offered me $20,000 for the car to sell to them, i refused since I figuring its worth waay more than that. I wonder how much they would have put it up for to sell after buying from me
