    It depends on how many miles are on it, and how good of shape it is still in.

    If you are planning on trading in your lancer I'd invest in some lube cause they are going to pound you pretty good.

    You'd be better off selling privately. Mitsubishi isn't stupid they know people are gonna want to trade in their cars for an evo and they will give you a shitty offer and you'll take it or you won't....either way they are getting their money.

    im exspecting 15,000 for feb 09 when i trade it in, and lower and i will sell it privatly.

    btw. i have a fully loaded 5speed GTS. And i should be around 20k miles feb09 so 15k trade it doesn't look to far fetched.

    Selling it Private.. Im looking at 18000 or b/o... 15000 trade is crazy but I am sure that is what they are looking to give...

    Some of you are living in a dream world. The moment you drive a new car off the lot, it loses ~3000.

    15,000 trade in with 20k miles is a good amount. Expecting 18000 is a dream. Spend another grand at most and you can buy one new off the lot.

    ^^Exactly lets face it they're not in business to lose money and they really don't care what you think is a fare trade, it's about how much money they are going to make from it.

    if i was to try to sell localy i would say 16k fully loaded.

    But im really hoping for a 5speed. im still prayin. but either way im goign to get it if not im goign to wait another year to save up some more and im getting the evo GSR Fully loaded.

    When ever i get a car it has to be fully loaded lol its a bad habit :) but its what i want!!!!! lol

    i took mine to a couple of dealerships in the area.. i got a es m/t w/ 15000 miles ... and the best i got was 12 thousand. try carmax and see what they are getting. About a month or so ago they had 3 of them i think

    12 grand aint a bad offer for what you are listing you have

    What about WW GTS CVT 3,000 miles.

    You will never get 18000 for the trade... Privately I might.. They are used in Jersey posted at dealers for over 20,000 which is a little crazy...
