Premiums compare the median price of sales with each option against comparable sales without it, mined from verified auction listings. Sales are pooled across markets on a relative-price basis, so exchange rates and market levels can't skew the split. Options interact in ways a one-at-a-time split can’t capture — treat each premium as directional rather than gospel.
Marque analyst note
The Mitsubishi Pajero Evolution sits at AUD $57,125 on the current market, down 10 percent over the past twelve months despite its classification as an appreciating classic. The downward momentum contradicts its longer-term trajectory, signaling a disconnect between near-term selling pressure and underlying fundamentals that may support recovery.
Only four sales have been tracked over the last year across a total dataset of six vehicles, placing this model firmly in thin liquidity territory. This scarcity of transactions limits visibility into true price discovery and increases volatility around any single sale, making it difficult for both buyers and sellers to establish firm benchmarks.
Production ran to just 2,693 units, establishing the Pajero Evolution as a rare nameplate with genuine scarcity credentials. The model carries a collectibility score of 8 and sits among highly collectible vehicles, though moderate desirability suggests that rarity alone has not yet driven the passionate demand typical of top-tier classics.
Base projections point to AUD $63,583 within three years and AUD $65,818 within five years, implying gradual appreciation of 11.3 and 15.2 percent respectively. These modest gains align with the appreciating-classic classification and suggest the market expects stabilization after the recent dip, though the gains remain modest enough to warrant patience before committing capital.
The current sell signal reflects short-term weakness rather than fundamental deterioration. With zero active listings recorded, the market appears undersupplied, which may support the longer-term recovery built into the five-year projection.
