Back in 2023, a new Mitsubishi ASX ran roughly $25,000–$35,000 AUD before on‑road costs, so drive‑away usually sat around $27,000–$38,000 depending on trim and postcode.
ES and MR trims were the cheap seats, Exceed and GSR nudged the top end, all powered by honest‑but‑not‑exciting four‑pots.
Today, used 2023 ASX examples commonly list between $20,000 and $30,000 AUD, with low‑kilometre, dealer‑serviced cars asking nearer the top.
It’s the SUV equivalent of plain toast: dependable, cheap to run, and somehow always in the pantry.
Shop around on Tradingpost or dealers, and mind the on‑roads—those will sneak up like a magpie in spring.
