Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IX

The Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IX has retreated sharply in the US market, with median prices down to $57,500—a 25 percent decline over the past year. The signal is unambiguously bearish, with the car ranked as depreciating and showing SELL momentum across recent transactions.

Liquidity remains thin with only five recorded sales in the past twelve months, indicating a shallow buyer pool and extended holding periods for sellers. The lack of active listings at present further constrains market visibility and makes price discovery difficult in this segment.

The Evo IX holds a Collectible classification with a score of 5, though desirability is rated low, which explains its struggle to maintain value. These cars typically turn up with moderate mileage—the current sample averaged under 46,000 miles—yet that condition advantage has not supported pricing.

The forward outlook is decidedly weak. Base projections forecast a further 47.6 percent decline to $30,100 over three years and a 56.9 percent slide to $24,800 over five years. Without a significant shift in collector sentiment or domestic import-car enthusiasm, these cars face sustained depreciation pressure through the medium term.
