Used car buying guide: Mitsubishi Lancer Evo X
The last-hurrah throwback to a time when Mitsubishi’s product portfolio could still excite enthusiasts
We wouldn’t blame you for not shedding a tear at Mitsubishi’s withdrawal from the UK market, such is the broadly uninspiring array of machinery the company currently has on the market.
Perhaps things would be different had the brand followed through with plans to introduce an 11th iteration of its fan-favourite Lancer Evolution. But alas it was not to be, so let’s pay our own tribute to the departing brand with a look at the fearsome Evolution X, produced from 2007 to 2016.
As a swansong for the hallowed nameplate, the X fitted the bill rather well. It sported a sharp new look compared with that of its increasingly bulbous predecessors, a specially developed 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine producing 291bhp even in its mildest form and a host of torque-vectoring trickery aimed at shunting its long-time Subaru Impreza WRX rival out of the rally-bred performance saloon limelight.

Don't Go Looking For The Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VIII And IX Anymore
The all-wheel drive sport sedan has only gotten more expensive and harder to find.
The Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution, in its eighth generation, was the first vehicle to give the U.S. a taste of the legendary rally car for the street. The rest of the world had already been enjoying it since the early ‘90s. While the Evolution X that followed improved on the car with more power and technology. The favorites (my personal favorites as well) always land on the VIII and IX. Now nearly 15 years after the last IX went out of production, the prices have of course increased, and they’ve become even harder to find.
Never intended for mass production, only 21,047 Evo VIII and IX are said to have been made, making them even more elusive for prospective buyers. Looking through various car buying websites I found handfuls for sale: Cargurus found only 21 for sale nationwide; Autotrader found 15 and Cars.com found just three. Don’t think about going to Bring A Trailer either. As of writing this, there is one live auction of a 2006 Evolution VIII MR, sitting with a current bid of $25,000.
An analysis of BaT auction results from the last six years shows just how much Evo prices have increased. In 2015, an Evo VIII RS sold for $26,000, and at the beginning of October of this year, an Evo IX MR with just 852 miles on it that sold for $82,000. That’s a solid $56,000 difference in prices in less than a decade.
We know the whole used car market is terrible right now, but that in no way excuses the price hikes on these cars. Many Evolutions are selling for as much or more than their original $35,000 to $37,000 MSRPs (but if you do factor in inflation some of these prices are on point). Cheaper, as always, gets you more miles of course.
