Dealership Asking Astronomical $88k For Mitsubishi Evo Final Edition

A Mitsubishi dealership in Brooklyn is currently selling the first of 1600 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X Final Edition's produced, for a rather insane $88,888.

They're trying to make up for their yearly losses.

I do believe this car was a charity auction at $46k.  The dealership won it and is now trying to bank on it.  Poor poor dealership.  Stuck with Mitsubishi.

I'd pass on this all day.

EVen 20 years later with 0 mileage on it...


I wouldn't pay for that much for it.

Plus, this version.. in my opinion doesn't even look good.


Maybe with aftermarket areo I would say it looks good... but in stock trim like this?

And also for that much money?  I don't think you get alot for what you pay for.

Plus...  I'd say the name is a mark in the import scene... but iconic?  I can't see that..

So I can't even see the reason for the mark up.

I'm sure someone would buy it though.

I'd like to compare everything to the type R.

That's an iconic car!  But even then after 20-50 years bone stock less than 5k miles, I can't see it fetching over 50k non-auction.  And over 50k is being extreme.
