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.
