Evo 9 GSR worth 23k?
Hey everyone
I'm in the market to buy another evo. I say another Evo because my X was hit by a DUI driver and wrecked my car. My insurance claimed it a total loss. Now I'm on the hunt for another one, now focusing on a 06 evo 9.
Does this deal sound good?
2006 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IX GSR - $23500
cylinders: 4 cylinders
drive: 4wd
fuel: gas
odometer: 95000
paint color: white
title status: clean
transmission: manual
"I am selling my 2006 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IX GSR (Evo 9).
Yes, it is the desired White color, 95k original miles, no accidents, unmodified (stock), adult owned, all maintenance records for last 6 years, and I have clean title in hand.
I have a huge file of paper receipts for all synthetic oil changes every 3k miles from Mitsubishi dealership, transmission/differential fluid changes, clutch upgrade, aluminum radiator upgrade, window regulator, tires, etc.
Only 'mods' I have on my car are Enkei RPFs, Swift springs (to close gap for wheels), and Whiteline rear sway bar - still have stock rims and springs as well.
It took me a long time to find the cleanest, unmodified, white Evo IX many years ago - and now it's time for someone else to enjoy this car as is (stock) with no issues or modify it the way you want to beginning with a blank canvas.
I do not have the means to keep 2 cars or I would keep it forever.
First to offer asking price takes it.
There are other higher mileage, modified Evos out there if you're looking for a bargain or want to gamble with reliability, so please do not email me requesting lower price - low ballers will be ignored.
Serious buyers are welcome to contact me and we can schedule a meet if you're ready to buy"
Thanks for reading and for your input

interesting. The 4g63 is still good even for this amount of miles, saying it is truly stock like he says?

Yeah. If its as clean and as stock as he says it is (and not returned to stock) Its worth around there. I would probably go in offering 20k though.

It's about what one would expect to pay.
But I'm annoyed when people like that owner talk about how it is "unmodified (stock)" then they list "mods." Yes, they are just wheels and springs, but in my book, that is technically not unmodified.

Not with that mileage. And not with his loose use of "stock". Who knows what else is "stock"
I paid $16,500 with 113k. I wouldn't pay that much more for mid 90's.
That being said, it's worth what you are willing to pay.

There are lots of Evos that are similar to the one OP posted, but for a lot less.

But a few years makes a lot of a difference. This isn't directed at you, but people always talk about how they waited for the right Evo, and they found it, but it was five years ago. That kind of mentality is fine but potential buyers can't be sold this dream of the right Evo for the right price being out there, because they're so few and far in between, and it only gets worse. The "right" Evos are what everyone wants, and the people who already have them likely aren't letting them go, or they know what they have on their hands and won't let it go unless its for good money.
I've said it before, the dealership offered me "maybe $23k" in 2008 when I had something like 15k miles. And when I was back there in 2013 or so when it had closer to 70k miles, the GSM said he could sell my car for $29k easily by the end of the week if I wanted to sell it to them (and I'd presumably have gotten something similar to what I was offered years prior), again because of simple supply and demand.

26k for a 26k mile truly-almost-stock car back in early 2011 here. No complaints.*
* except about Cosmo motors but that's a different thread

That reminds me, an uncle of mine said around then, he ha an opportunity to pick up a Ferrari F40 for $250,000. He had the money but it was still a big purchase that would have put a big dent in his savings. He regrets passing on it.
