Stop giving him crap because of how he takes care of his car.

 

Damn neverhappy, you are my hero.

One hell of a car enthusiast here, and lowballers get the hell out of this thread.

 

Peepee, you are my hero!

 

Thanks all. I have no real interest in selling the car for nothing.

 

Quoted directly from Cars.com...

"the Automotive Lease Guide (ALG) estimates that eight specific 2003 models will be worth only 38 to 47 percent of their initial value after three years: the Ford SVT Focus, Ford Mustang, Hyundai Tiburon, Mazda MX-5 Miata, Mercedes-Benz C230 Sports Coupe, and Mitsubishi’s Eclipse coupe, Eclipse Spyder convertible and Lancer Evolution."

If you want to get top dollar, I would recommend that you NOT hold onto it!

 

Im trying to understand what we are all getting from this...

This is very interesting. We are comparing prices of cars from new, to what they will be worth with the average amount of mileage (12-16K yearly) after a few years. To help you understand my standpoint on this, let me remind you that the car IN QUESTION has a 2500 mile per year average, totally nullifying the edmunds facts you have quoted. We all have to understand that 'typical' and 'average' are not going to apply here because of the nature of the care of the car.

If everyone was going by the figures posted in that article, people would be selling their cars for nothing.

You may also go to edmunds and calculate the typical value of a car like mine in its region and come out with a much larger figure, totally contradicting what was stated in that article to begin with.

I also remember that i have no reason to justify a price that i have set to someone i dont know.

Like it or not, the price is only slightly negotiable. Take that into consideration before you post.

If we had more owners like neverhappy maybe the Evo would hold it's value like a Supra,remember only 2500 Evo's come to the US per year.

 

Another thing to consider might be market saturation. This happens to a lot of hardcore sports type vehicles upon initial public introduction. 'THE' hot car is released to an eager buyers market but after a couple years, anyone and everyone who really wanted the car has bought one. Mitsubishi is limiting the amount of Evo's they send to the US in an attempt to slow down this issue. As an example, Lotus had a similar problem with the UK Elise. With used car buyers not knowing how the car had been treated by the previous owner, people waked away, leaving used Elise values to plummet.
This is just an observation after noticing multiple Evo's for sale on this board that haven't sold after months on the market.

Anway, free bump for a nice car

 

thanks for the friendly comments everyone.

I saw a 5000 mile 300zx go for HUGE money about a year ago, so im not worried. If the car doesnt sell now, it WILL sell later... And i am in no rush.
