Mitsubishi Cordia/Lancer/Evo I-IX/RVR
Australia during 2015 was brimming with Lancer EVOs that nobody wanted and prices were around half the current levels.
As demand grows and the numbers of available cars dwindles, the money available for later-model EVOs will continue to rise and this applies especially to the S6.5 ‘Makinen’ model.
| Buyer’s Buide: Mitsubishi Evo VI-VIII
These commemorative cars exceed $60,000 but there is also an RVR Hypergear (EVO 3-engined SUV) that will barely make $10,000. Around $35,000 buys an early I-V model or 2008-10 automatic. Look way back to the 1980s and you find the Cordia GSR Turbo which torque steered its way to infamy.
Then you will understand why these cute coupes don’t bring much money. Later and kinder to the wrists might be an MR coupe that in super-good condition costs around $5000.
