The value may go up if the X is in the 50k range, and especially if the new motor can't handle 600whp without upgrading internally.

I'm not even sure on the current value of the evo. It seems like it greatly depends on the region you live in.

NORCO Mitsubishi has already marked up their Wicked White Evo(s) to MSRP because they are the last 2 NEW white Evo's in the country if that's any kind of indication as to what's going to happen. I think most of it will hinge on whether that new tranny will allow the car to be seriously modded. If not then the IX's may become very desirable.

I doubt there will be a significant drop. Was talking to the dealership today and the x's are going to be pricey....very pricey. Easy way to jack up a used evo to accomodate for the new increase. But it depends on supply and demand

So the $20,000 question is, would it be better to buy a used Evo now before the X comes out? Or wait until the X is here? I am starting to look at used Evos and want to get one sometime within a year or so. And not to turn this into a vs. debate, I'm also looking at STis. But the new one is sooo ugly that used STi prices will probably go up

I would buy a NEW one now for invoice or lower while you still have the chance, if you still have the chance. I would avoid any used Evo like the plague. If you have to buy used, then I'd get a used IX now instead of waiting for the X to release, because it will be out of the price range of most normal Evo owners, and the market will get saturated with Honda noobs who are trying to ****** up 20k used Evos.

I think the Eclipse 4g63 platform can be used as a good indicator here. The last years of the 4g63, held value for many years, and actually still does hold value very well. Lower mileage un-molested, or tastefully modded GSX's can run into the low teens, and pull the price easily. Of course they were followed by a crappy replacement.

Hmm, there are plenty of 16k clear title 8's around. Usually higher miles though. 60k+
There are a couple in the classifieds right now.

Very possible. I cant find any around me, thats for sure.
But honestly, I would rather pay a few grand more for one with dirt low miles.

This is unfortunate as I won't be able to afford an Evo until next summer . Looks like I may well be screwed.

If it's a low mileage 06 IX (10k is my max unless I have no choice, less is always better).. for around 25k, I would have no problem with that.
