My evo is gone now thanks to black ice and bad tires, and my parents dont want me to get another, plus insurance is almost 6k a year with me. im thinking of getting a g35 coupe 6 speed for now, but i really want a 8/9, no x even though its sexy. do you think in 3-5 years the value will drop on the evo's, or will it stick like the supra? its a car still in production, so thats something to think about.

 

evo has already dropped to like 12k so the answer is no

 

no way in hell..
the day you drove the car off the lot its value just dropped about 6k..

now being 3-6 years old.... the value has dropped a whole lot

 

i agree with all the above

 

i thought it was expenive for a 2006 model. i got my 9 for 21,700. what was the original msrp for the evo?

 

IX's when they first came out were going for about 34-38k

 

IX's msrp was like 29,000- 36,200

depending on the model

 

No.

There's like, only 6-7K Supra (MKIV's) period, from '93.5-'98. Evos are still being produced and there were about 5000 imported in 2003 alone. Even though the new model is "very" different to enthusiasts, its not a dud, so regular depreciation still applies to older 4G63 models. Overall though, the car's hold their value well.

 

get an se and keep it stock. those dont depreciate as much.

The evo is not like a classic where it holds value or increases as time goes on. However, it depreciates well in the sense that it doesn't lose all of its value like an american family sedan.

 

Here's how to make the Evo hold it's value:

Step 1) Mitsubishi Stop making them
Step 2) Everybody crash your Evo except for those with rare combinations. (SSL, SE, etc.)

 

jeebus!
don't ever drive a car that costs you 6k a year to insure! unless its an exotic!

 

i know, but if i had the money, i would pay the 6k for insurance.

 

how old are you

 

16.... maybe? 6k is ridiculous every 3-4 years you could have another evo
