What is the price of an Evo 10?
So it’s official now. The Mitsubishi Evo of the tenth generation has truly and officially died. The most recent one in North America, which marked the end of over ten years of production, was just astonishingly sold at auction for $76,400.
Mitsubishi produced 1600 Evo Final Editions to mark the end of such a long run. Each one cost $37,995 and was based on the Evo GSR with a manual transmission. This indicates that the Final Edition sold for almost double what its MSRP was. But it was for a good reason. Mitsubishi intends to give the money raised to the organization Feeding America, which works to end hunger.
Sadly, we are unable to predict what may happen to the Evo next. However, based on what many spokespeople have indicated, if there is ever a new Evo, it will significantly deviate from the recipe that we have grown to know and love over the years. It would most likely be a hybrid crossover of some kind. Who knows if that’s still happeningthe business has been pretty silent about the next-generation Evo in recent years.
However, it appears as though Mitsubishi’s turbocharged rally vehicle for the streets is now gone for good, even if the Evo brand makes a comeback in the future.
What should you expect to pay for an Evo?
The average price of an Evo X is $38,000, however it can cost you anything from $27,000 to $49,000. Gas, repairs, license, and upkeep are additional costs associated with cruising in your X.
Costs associated with automotive modifications must also be taken into account if you want your vehicle to stand out from the crowd.
Remember that your Evo X loses about $1,400 in value per year. To determine the true cost of owning an Evo X, disregarding insurance charges, you must also take into account annual taxes and fees of $93 in addition to other expenses.
Repairs
Depending on your driving style, repairs differ. You’ll pay the average cost of maintenance if you drive your Evo X frequently and don’t push it to its limits all the time.
You should budget $500 per year for repairs if there aren’t any major problems with the engine or bodywork.
Maintenance
Expect a planned maintenance every 12 months or 10,000 miles to keep your Evo X in top condition. A thorough fluid change should be performed every 30,000 miles, coupled with an oil change and tire rotation every 5,000 miles.
Your 4B11T motor will take care of you for many years if you take good care of it.
Edmunds estimates that the cost of maintenance during the first five years of ownership might reach $8,654. The cost would be roughly $1,710 for the first year and only $562 for the next. The most expensive year would cost roughly $3,898.
Gas
Overall, the Evo doesn’t have the finest fuel efficiencyyou’ll need to fill up frequently. You should expect to obtain 16 mpg if you do the most of your city driving.
22 mpg is what you’ll get on the freeway. You should anticipate using more gas if you frequently drive it rapidly (like the majority of Evo X drivers).
Is STI quicker than Evo?
Because it has fewer horsepower and weighs about 200 pounds more than the Impreza WRX STI, the Lancer Evolution appears to be a small underdog in comparison. Typically, this is where we discuss how the slower automobile is more enjoyable to drive and ultimately triumphs. This time, however, those who are preoccupied with statistics might find solace in the fact that the winning vehicle is also the cheapest and fastest in a straight line and on the skidpad. The Evo has the best driving dynamics out of the three, which is really what counts. We discuss this topic all the time, much to the dismay of some letter writers.
HIGHS: Excellent grip, yaw control that eliminates understeer, and excellent low-end torque for a turbo.
LOWS: Lacks a telescoping steering wheel, an extra gear, and an expensive-looking cabin.
The Evo’s average time from 0 to 60 mph is astounding4.6 seconds. Though it also has a modest advantage through the quarter-mile, the Evo may only just edge the Subaru STI to that mark due to its ability to reach that point in second gear. Despite losing 10 horsepower and 192 pounds of curb weight to the STI, this is still the case.
What does an Evo 9 cost?
Given this context, it is clear why the manual, all-wheel-drive Evo was popular with the tuning and racing communities, which have subsequently destroyed the majority of decent Evos available. Road and Track reported in 2017 on the sale of a nine-mile Evo IX by Californian dealer South Coast Mitsubishi for $138,000, or over $100,000 more than its initial sticker price of $35,814. Such a rarity is a stock, unmodified Evo. This car is currently posted for sale at $75,999, which is more than double the $35,189 price indicated on the car’s window sticker. It is believed that this dealership overstocked themselves with Evo IXs with the intention of selling them for outrageous profits.
Are evos pricey?
Some vendors are demanding high prices for specific Evolution models with extremely little mileage, with some professionally modified or exceptionally clean specimens being listed for more than $50,000. However, it’s not unusual to see prices exceeding $30,000 even when looking at pretty typical 2006 and 2007 versions.
