this shit is making me crazy. I want to get an evo IX, Im planning on trading in my 2000 eclipse. i had gone to the dealer before and they told me they would give me a 5k down payment and 2.5k to finish paying my car. and the evo9gsr would be 29k with payments of $455/month. but now i have a familys friend who said he could help get a better deal. so i will be looking at payments of $400/month. ppl have been telling me not to get it, since im only 18 and work part time and only make $650/month. the good news is my parents said theyd pay for insurance.

so would you guys buy it? i still want to buy it but ppl are like "oh u dont need a new car, your car is fine, blah blha blah".

If you really want the car, you are going to end up buying it. Just realize that it is an expensive car to own. Not even starting with the mods, you are going to have to deal with brake pads, tires, oil changes, etc....Its been covered plenty of times so just realize what you are getting yourself into.

if you live at home then it'll be easier since you're not paying for rent or utilities...food at home would be free also O0

with your payments and your paycheck...you're looking at $250/month for you (food, clothing, gas, car services, misc.)

think what you're getting into...250 is a bit tight but if you really wanted, you can do it.

get a used evo IX. your payments would be lower.

how are you F'in up by trading in your 05 vii for a 06 ix?


dont listen to the people who say that your car is fine and stuff. of course your car is fine...if it wasnt then i dont know why you'd be driving it. its your life and your money...do what you want. if you REALLY want the evo then go for it. if i were you i'd go with a used one O0

Don't forget about gas!!! Its expensive as hell and the EVO isn't exactly an economy car.

+1 for getting a used one. Â*That's what i did, and i'm glad. Â*Maintaining this car is expensive like everyone has already said... If you feel like doing a balancing act with your funds than i say go for it, if you want it that bad.

full tank is 14 gallons...so thats roughly $35-40 when you fill up (depending on gas price around your area)

i get 20-22mpg on my driving (highway and city mixed) which is about 250 miles per tank.

MPG all depends on how you drive. your driving habits will affect it...heavy foot on the gas, which RPM you decide to shift at, etc.

i think you'd buy it..
I would.....

P.S. if you'll have enough money to pay for gas... definatly buy... and your car will be your g.f. for a while.. but hey, you'll survive :) right?

With the budget you mentioned I think you'd be crazy to get a brand new IX. I'd say just save the money for now and buy the car when you're a little more financially stable and not relying on your parents to help pay for the cost of owning the car. This is just my suggestion but it's your choice in the end.

yea if you want it and you think you can survive on a budget then.... why not? Ive done it for about 1 1/2 and im pretty much sacrificing some of the things i would do or like to do, example... taking your g/f on a date and spending about 100 a night without no worries... if you have a g/f ofcourse or planning to ... other then that i think you should be fine with 250/month.

Sounds like a good Idea, I would do it.Â* I say if you want it that bad, go for it, don't hold back, but make sure your financial ready for it.Â* I got a used one at South Coast, they really hooked me up.Â* Â*Its White, had about 35k on it, and I got it for $22,000 ;)
