Brand-New two thousand six Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IX MR Sold For $138K
A California-based dealership – South Coast Mitsubishi – put up an unregistered example of the two thousand six Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution MR for auction on eBay Motors in early July. Eighty bidders fought over it since day one of posting and now we have a winner. Somebody is getting to own this blue-blooded Japanese spectacle sedan and has parted with $138,000 of cash for the Evo nine MR.
We do come across a lot of low-mile cars online which are bought from dealers, registered and then stored in an air-conditioned garage for years until those cars ultimately have aged enough to fetch astronomical price tags. But this two thousand six Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution MR is much different from those examples.
A Reddit commentator has got some sweet details on what makes this Evo nine special. Very first up, it’s not registered. It was dropped off at the dealer as part of their order which was made eleven years ago and had been with them all these years. Even the plastic covers on the seats are still there. That’s spanking-new. 2nd, it has got scarcely nine miles on the odometer and those miles were clocked while moving it around the dealership lots. Normal for any fresh car to have a bunch of miles on the meter and nine is as good as none.

This two thousand six Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IX MR comes with Bilstein shocks, Brembo brakes, BBS wheels and a 6-speed manual transmission. Sweet!
The commentator has also mentioned that the dealer in question is known for the practice of buying extra units of cars which have the potential to fetch more dollars in the future, storing them away for years and then to pop them up on classifieds and online portals where enthusiasts will shell out a lot more money to own these cars.
Well, their business model seems to be very effective as this two thousand six Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution MR has managed to sell for a hefty premium over its actual price tag of around $38,000. With that final eBay bid of $138k, this Evo nine MR has even hammered the last Lancer Evolution X ever built in the battle of prices. That one had fetched $76,400 on eBay.
