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!
Nobody will be selling an Evo with 9miles, so this sale doesn't mean a whole lot, IMO.
I'd predict Market prices will continue as they have been, for now.

I know of a few with very low mileage. Mine has 804 and will be for sale some day.

That is pretty low. My '03 just turned over 75k, and I thought I was doing well.

Interesting. These IXs, along with the ~200 mile car at Southcoast, may be the first high value targets in circulation. There are bound to be a number of stock cars with mileage in the teens. Those would be next in line.

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...
what was the mileage on your IX when you sold it? fairly stock?

nevermind just saw your for sale thread so mid 60s.

Genius.

Sam is the GM of Sales for South coast, not a salesman...lol.


He was expecting $80k because a similar car with 1500 miles got 75k.

The reserve was likely $80k, someone bid above the reserve, so it went to the reserve price of $80k.

Yep, sold it with just about 60k on the odo, and I thought that was low for 11 years.

Definitely curious as to what the new owner will do with the car. Likely it will be put in storage somewhere to be sold at auction 30 years for now for some insane amount, but it would be awesome if someone actually put some miles on this museum grade relic.

if he's the GM and not a salesman, that would be a first.

its up to 100k now... so to spend that kind of money on a car that will just sit. I wonder if Mitsu has any in Japan that were never sold.

But you can see the bid history (even before the reserve is met), and the prices I pointed out were two consecutive bids. So someone just decided to blow everyone else out of the water.

high balling a bid in order to drive the price up is a negative sales strategy, everyone is just going to pull out
