Anyone want an Evo?

[number six]

Remember that never-sold 2006 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution we told you about last week? The one with 9 miles on the odometer, its seats wrapped in plastic and never titled? And that had already earned a bid of $100,100 on eBay?

Well, that Evo has now sold for a hair under $138,000, Road and Track reports. That's $100,000 over its original sticker price of $37,094.

The seller was South Coast Mitsubishi in Orange County, Calif., which one Reddit user claims has stockpiled multiple Evos and sold them off at a premium.

This high-fetching Evolution is an IX MR model in Graphite Gray with black trim, a six-speed manual, all-wheel-drive transmission. It's optioned with the MR package that includes some aluminum and carbon-fiber bits and boost-gauge kit, plus the Zero Lift aero kit.

Under the hood is a 2.0-liter, 16-valve inline four-cylinder, 286 horsepower engine with 289 pound-feet of torque. It can do 0-to-60 in 4.4 seconds.

The car's production run ended with the 2015 model year.

The car fielded a total of 80 bids, which started at $30,000.

the secondary car market is straight up stupid.

so that evo, undriven, will be worth $150,000 in a few years.

I used to own a car that commands close to $500,000 nowadays...makes me look at pinball trends and laugh.

the one thing makes me smile - I still know that right now, I can build a sub-10 second car for under 5 grand.

Like 8-10 years ago for absolute funsies I looked up an 80s Lamborghini Countach

They were selling for around $70k in reasonably good running condition.  I thought to myself.. well that's a lot of money but maybe one day.

Now they sell for what.. $500-$600k ? That's a hell of an increase.

I always wanted a Lotus Espirit... fortunately they can still be had for reasonable money.
