Yes the evos were limited production but the cars you hear about selling for the same you paid for or more are extremely limited production cars like less than a thousand made total. The evo is just too much of a "mass" produced car for it to already be a collector...yet.

Jobs
I know a place where you get paid a good wage. You get full free medical, and full dental. You get 30 days of vacation a year. If your single we give you an apartment to live in with free utilities. If your married we have houses for you with free utilities or we pay more to live somewhere else and we give you money for food. They pay for 75% of your college while working with us and they give you $40,000 or more for school when you leave. They spend anywhere from $40,000 to $200,000 dollars training you and even let you pick your job. Plenty of organized activities and travel time and you get to see places you could never dream of before and YOU CAN CALL YOURSELF AN AMERICAN AND IT MEANS SOMETHING!!!!!!!

What the OP is basically insisting is for evo owners to form an oligopoly like OPEC. What do they do when oil prices fall? Make a pact to withhold oil until demand outstrips supply and the prices rise. However, the problem with OPEC is that the exporting countries are assigned a quota to maintain, but some get greedy and try to export more than they are suppose to for extra cash. Then every country does this a little bit and the supply doesn't get reduced. The idea of game theory dictates that even if everyone agrees to put up their evos for higher retail, someone will feel the pressure to get rid of theirs first, and jump the gun and sell at a lower price. Of course, not knowing if other people will hold their end of the bargain, this dilemma spirals and the pact breaks down. Trying to artificially inflate the price of an evo over its fair market value is nearly impossible when there are quite a few evo owners that are not necessarily affluent and like some have said, cannot afford to lose a house so that the price of other evos can remain high. I mean I would love if the price of my evo went up. But of course, at the rate that evos are being totalled, sooner or later, the 8's and 9's will be pretty rare.

But your missing the point.
WE CREATE THE MARKET VALUE.
They are suppliers, we are consumers. What we pay is what the market value becomes.
This is the point.
As with the overqualifying thing..
This is where you have to cheat the system.
If you can't find a job, you make a job

Oh god, thats true.
As I check through the Salvage auctions with my dads account, There is 8-12 wrecked evo's appearing EVERY week in the auction. Most of them get totaled beyond repair..
Sad sight, but good for us who take care of the cars then
Sooner or later, their value will rise.
Also, the whole thing with " BUT THERES STILL MORE OF THEM BEING PRODUCED AND WILL BE".
There's new chargers, Camaro's, Mustangs, etc, but the old ones from the 60-70's are usually selling for more than the later models. So no BS there either
Well, thanks for your thoughts on this guys.

I'd think a lot of the owners would be on here. And even more so, a lot of owners who atleast visit these pages.
Otherwise, WTH would this website be for?

good cal.
Joining any devision of the military should be a decision made based on you WANTING to do that - not as a last resort. And FYI - you military dont exactly get paid out the ying yang. So - now you have a 4 year commitment for something that in the end - may or may not help you out of your situation.
Im a DoD contractor - im well versed in all 4 branches and how they operate. All those commercials and all those banners - yeah. Cherry coating.
So - as a final thought - Join the military if you want to serve your country. Dont do it for money. You wont find any lavish ending.

ops
You get out of it what you put into it. You want to make more money you can. Do what your told and work hard and move up in rank and you make a descent living. Act like a child and work like a bum and get out first chance you get and sure you will have nothing. How many companies give you retirement after 20 years. So when i am 38 i get to retire and start my next career.

job
And another thing has the economy worried you about your job. Well not me I have a job and I make good money! It is not just for desperate people there are thousands of jobs for you and you can do any of them from A highly skilled laser technician, to a linguist, to an Apache pilot. How many companies offer that!!!!!
What is up with the spelling I kind of missed some of what you where saying.
