Maybe after thirty or fouty years, when people who wished to own an Evo when they were young but couldn't afford one get older and richer there will be a demand for Evos. Just like 60's muscle cars are worth 10X what they originally did 40 years ago

I just traded my 03 VIII for a IX, and they can keep it. Regardless of the year the Evo will probably not be a serious collectors car. Do you see a lot of people trying to get their hands on a IV or V? No.
30 or 40 years down the road it might be, but what isn't? Anything that lasts that long or is that old turns into a collectors item usually.

The IX is a nice car; But it is problably more of a test Mule.
The change to the Mivec, ECU, cooling pasages, turbo, etc. is all being tested to see how the new innovations work.
All they have to do is add all this things and let the public use them for a year or two. Then after all the fine tuning is done, they are incorporated into the new production car, the Evo X.

I would say the TB Evo IX MR's with appearance package are gonna be very cought after (only 500 made in USDM trim) due to manufacter error. I also would say that the LY IX will be sought after wince it was brought to the states, it's only in JDM/UK trim i believe
