Could have had it for $50k 6 years ago. Heck of a spike

Someone in Abu Dhabi will probably buy it and it will never see sunlight again.

In theory, the warranties *should* start the day of the purchase. So if you bought a 2006 at the end of 2005 when they first came out, the warranty clock starts ticking in 2005, and if you bought a 2006 in early 2007, it starts ticking in 2007, even though it's the same model year.
But who knows, maybe they're banking on an overseas buyer anyway to get out of that responsibility. I assume the warranty is void once the car leaves the US.
Not sure about the X FEs (haven't really noticed them), but they've had a bunch of X SEs on their lots for years. At least ten of them for sure.

To think I just sold my mint condition IX RS for $26k over a month ago, should have asked more!
Similar to cars that have a huge cult following, I expect Evos to skyrocket over the next few years as even now, rare, unmodified examples are uncommon. I expect them to go the same path as the Supra, NSX, R34, RX7's, etc., but definitely not THIS quickly.
One has to wonder what kind of effect this auction will have on the currently pricing of used Evo IX's going forward...

So my single-owner bone stock Evo IX SE won't suddenly gain a few grand in market value because of this sale. At least not with the 107k miles on the clock.

Possibly, but I think there's only one or two. There's the white one with the stripes and stickers on it (which can be removed) and something between 200-300 miles on it. Still basically a virgin but not quite as pristine as this one being sold. But maybe about 97-98% as pristine, once the vinyl comes off.

Actually, when they first brought these four Evo IX MRs up, they said they were selling them at sticker, though it was during that time when SCM had the EvoM/SCE member pricing that was below invoice. So of course people whined and talked the whole "why would I pay sticker for a four year-old car" talk and then they had to eat their words when SCM decided to sell it for more when an overseas buyer raised the bar. Then people whined even more.

I'd like to think it would have a little effect, as even car guys that aren't into evos seem to know about this auction going on. Also, evo owners have all eyes on this crazy price as well, and I can almost guarantee mint clean examples posted in the classifieds will be a bit more pricey than what we've seen in the last year.
This is a great thing for those looking to sell soon, but bad for prospective evo buyers in my opinion. The steady rise over the past little while definitely allowed me to sell my evo for more than I paid for it 8 years ago, so I'm not complaining!
