I had a blue 04 SRT4 which I sold privately to get into my EVO now. Too bad I couldnt afford both, cuz the Blues were an 04 only model, and now the SRT4's are forever discontinued....
Too bad SRT4 is nothing special. Don't regret it.

I hear of Evos getting wrecked every so often also. Not just on here. I can see the Evo holding it's long term value very well, as well as being a highly sought after car even in it's older years.

ur wrong, now im not crazy about srt-4's or anything, but i have to admit they are sum bad@$$ cars! yes it still looks like a neon and yes it is a dodge, but they are not slow, and fairly quick cars for the price also.

on a serious note...here in Ohio, the Evo qualifies for a "Collector's" plate. Pretty cool

Just because some little turd broke his PS2, doesn't really mean that everyone else's PS2 will go up in price like 20 years from now. There are just way too many.

By the way, doubleugly... you do realize you own an evo 8 (viii) right? On your profile it says evo vii.
haha, the thread was posted as more of a joke than being serious, just taking noticeof all the "wrecked my evo" posts out there. I don't have a clue how many evo's are out there, so I really can't say whether it will be a collectors item or not.

Thanks for the catch on my profile, I'll have to change it.

Actually this thread is somewhat correct, that is one of the reasons why our car has the highest resale value of any used car. There were only 7000 '03s brought to the states, that is a rare car indeed!

in 04 there were only 4500+ sold in the us. i think my 04 RS will be nice, as there are only ~1000 04s. and they have the lsd already. if the IX is the last model with this body style i and they are only selling 1000 MRs/year. I would think the 07 or 08 MR IXs will be the most $$$$$. either way I think in 10-15 years all of our models/years will be simialr to the Supra now.

I will tell you what a collectors Evo is. If you find, an Evo I, GSR or RS, unmodded, unscratched, not driven hard, has got less than 60k miles on it. All in the same car. I am telling you, that's much more different. 2500 were annouced, but they were sold out after 3 days, so Mitsubishi had to make another 2500. So 5000
Evo Is were built between 1992 and 1994. Some cars are in the UK, some in the Middle East and the other non-Japanese cars are rally cars. Roughly 500 Evo Is has made it to this day (at least in Japan), and there are maybe 50 perfect ones. There are almost no Is in the US, and it will cost 10k dollars extra to import there. Here you go. The collectors Evo is hell not a VIII/IX MR. They are regular cars compared to the I.

I think your heads are all getting too big.

If the EVO keeps evolving .. there wil be nothing special about the VIII or IX. In order for them to become valuable like the SUPRA, they have to stop production.
