While the timing coincided, it wasn't completely a result of being the star car of the movie that made its sale price increase. It helped, but the Supra still would have been similarly popular. It just decreased in value at first as expected, but the market responded, especially when the Supra got more coverage not necessarily as Paul Walker's car but just as a beast since its block was so strong... it was around the same time as when the car was getting even more attention for its aftermarket capabilities when .wmv files were always shared in 2001-2002, like the one of the red Supra on the dyno or the white Supra owned by Marko. They didn't need the movie to know that the engine was insane.
We saw something similar with the Evo. Yes, when it was no longer produced, its value decreased as expected, but the market again responded and drove up the prices, since most people just liked it better not only more than the Evo X but also most other similar cars (STI, R32/Golf R, etc.). That's why in 2008, a dealership offered me $21k, then in 2009, another dealership offered me $23k (despite obviously having more miles), and at my most recent oil change, that same dealership said that they'd probably give me $25k if I felt like selling it (again despite having more miles). Bone stock Evo IX SE. |
It wasn't an offer on a trade in. They wanted to buy my car.
|
Speaking of these prices, has anyone actually paid the amount people are asking? For example: 25k for a 100k mile evo? I'm sure theyre some, they just don't want to post.
100K miles isn't that much miles, but $25K is a bit steep. Yah there is a supply and demand issue, but the prices are sure inflated, anyone else noticing STi prices are cheaper than Evo's now? Used to be the otherway around, well from my searches anyways. |
Can someone just put up a stickie explaining the concept of "SUPPLY AND DEMAND."
These posts of "how much is my evo worth" or "Evo value going up" are getting repetitive. |
this is awesome. i bought my 03 evo 2 years ago for 14k. damn near stock. still on un-scuffed oem enkei wheels.

just picked up my lightly modded 9 mr with 81k for 17k. can't seem to find em around here for less that 16 unless there salvaged or reconstructed title. subarus go for 17k even with salvage titles around here and there with 100k on them
|
I paid 15k for an evo clean title 50k miles on it, pretty much a steal.
But now its worth 18k thought about selling it to make the profit and buy a higher milage evo for 13k so its paid off. But prices are going up because of the younger generation crashing them that all I hear about |

Well I sold the car 2months ago for 19k which I thought was a good price it had 72k when I sold it. Now I want another evo and I have looked everywhere and I swear some people think these cars are gold. It is impossible to fine a 9 under 70k for under 23k I don't know if it's just more kids are owning these cars and are raising the price because they think they have the best car around or what but it's getting really annoying. Example is a kid close to me has a 06 eb with less mods then what I had, has the cheapest xxr wheels you can get with 76k and won't budge under 26k???? Wtfffff is it just that there are no good deals to be had or have the prices gone up. Sorry for the rant just literally have looked from the east coast to the mid states for 5weeks and have not found one car that is in good condition at a reasonable price.

Why would you sell a car you actually want and look for one 2 months later:confused:

i just recently bought my 2003 vIII and i paid 10k for it. interior was 4/10 but as i go through this car (all original) it was pretty taken care of. officially owned the car for 3 months now.
|
^ Plus even with a less-than-perfect interior, it doesn't exactly affect how it works (as opposed to having a powertrain that is a 4/10), and you can always swap out for newer parts, as people do sell full interiors from time to time.

lol, i love this thread, gotta pay to play:lol::lol::lol:
