For real automotive fanatics, a completely unmodified 2006 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IX has now hit the auction market. Additionally, incredibly the car’s digital odometer only shows just a touch over 41k miles. Originally located in California, the car was moved to Colorado and is now available with its window sticker, service records from previous ownership, factory manuals, a clean Carfax report and a clean Colorado title in the current owner’s name.

Coming in Graphite Gray, the 2006 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IX features the Special Edition package that includes an aluminum roof panel, BBS forged-alloy 17″ wheels, revised bodywork and HID headlights. Standard details include the ventilated Brembo brakes with red calipers with electronic brake-force distribution, a carbon-fiber rear wing, Special Edition Recaro seats and Momo steering wheel, carbon-fiber trim dash, air conditioning, six-speaker sound system, power locks and windows, and keyless entry.

Powering the car is a turbocharged 2.0-liter inline-four 4G63 engine that moves all four wheels through a five-speed manual gearbox with an active center differential, and front and rear limited-slip differentials. The updated MIVEC variable valve timing system helps the car produce 286 horsepower at 6,500 rpm and 289 lb-ft of torque at 3,500 rpm.

The current highest bid on the unmodified Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IX stands at $31,500 USD and the auction on Bring a Trailer is set to end May 19.
