44k good deal for all involved

 

Great sell price, hopefully what you were looking for.

 

seriously, you thought 25k would have been fair? lol

 

The price seems kind of crazy to me for a car with rust, 70k miles and an accident history. The 4-owner IX on BaT that sold today for $35k from a used car dealer with unknown mods and compressor surge also seems crazy to me.

I guess if I sell my original owner RS with 28k miles it will be $75k or bust!

 

Very fair.
$44k is ****ing nuts.

 

This, the rust and accident history is why I said $30k tops.......

 

I guess you Canadians are used to buying rusty vehicles that things got more rust in 6" area than my entire car does........and mine has over double the mileage.

 

what? the car sold in the USA, but yea evo 8/9 prices are way more outrageous in Canada. The bidders are full aware it will need some work. They were bidding on a very specific collector car produced in very few numbers. Most will likely never have the chance to bid on one for a very long time if ever.

Its not nuts, infact only expect prices to climb. Just like there's delusional people who overvalue the market, there are those who undervalue it for some reason. Whatever you think is fair isn't reality. Its not a subjective thing. Its whatever the buyers demand in proportion to availability. Its been almost 17 years these cars have been out of production, either keep up with the time and accept things are changing, or sell your evo for cheap to me

 

I think you can probably hit 85

 

I just want to address the rust. Doesn't matter much at this point since car is sold, but it is extremely minor and poses no threat to the long term health of the vehicle. It's the type of rust that if you saw it in person you'd glance at it and move along with minimal thought. It's apparent that it could be fixed relatively easily/cheaply, but probably just isn't worth fixing. It's been completely stable for a decade. What actually looks bad is the cracking paint, which isn't even the original paint! It's the touch up paint I applied. The original underneath the cracking actually looks in pretty good shape.

 

Just because we like our cars and Canada (assuming you are a fair representation thereof) likes to grossly over pay doesn't mean that's where the market is going, sorry. I have no idea how OP scored $44k but dude needs to buy a lottery ticket ASAP. There is absolutely no way any average enthusiast would have paid anywhere near that. If you doubt that, I can give you a list of *however many people are on this forum, minus you* to prove it. You are constantly trying to tell us all how Evos are worth a million dollars and we'll continue to tell you are wrong. We get it. You think they are. We know. But they aren't. As for selling my car you can have it for $30k USD right now. Apparently that's a hell of a bargain, amirite?

We're not saying the rust is *bad*, we're saying it's not worth $44k. I'm seriously stoked for you, no doubt. Nobody is disappointed in any way, we're just shocked. Put the car up for sale any other day on any other site, and I just can't imagine it going for that price again. That was just plain awesome. Congrats, dude!

 

unless we get a true recession here with people pulling back from luxury/frivolous purchases i don't see the prices of these things in general coming down

especially rare trims/models

 

That's the type and amount of rust, to make me run far far away..................far away

 

Price is not "nuts" bros, you seem to have missed the 40%+ inflation, aka reduction in buying power. If you had $100K in the bank in 2019, then in 2022 your relative buying power with that $100K is $60K and it's only going to keep falling...prices will continue to rise.

 

Nope. Seller was amazingly lucky and is laughing all the way to the bank. Are you, by chance, from Canada?
