Just traded off the tC yesterday...I'm glad with what I chose to replace it. I got an 03 Evo 8 with 34000 miles and 10 year bumper to bumper warranty. Mint condition and all. Silver too...lol. They gave me an even trade for it. I'm extremely happy with the performance of the Evo. Probably will never go back to 2WD.

 

Nice pickk...I wanted a Evo too..Im thinking about trading mine in for the evo 9 MR....How is it? even trade thats a good deal man...AWD ROCKs...

 

wow, even trade, very nive.

 

well considering the tC had been turbocharged...it only seemed fair...lol.

 

Thats one really fun car. I'd love to have that kinda power. Unfortunately, the evo is quite an unsafe car with a fairly poor record of repairs (according to consumer reports). I personally would have gone for a STI or a 350Z, G35. Nevertheless, thats a real fun car and a great deal.

 

Where do you guys get your money? I have always had good jobs but never could afford an EVO or a G35...

 

I guess its whats important to you. Don't go out for dinners, dont go clubbing, dont go to the movies and shop at tjmaxx...now you can afford a g35. Its whats important to you and how much of your salary you want to put aside for car payments...

 

Want to save money?
1) Don't get a girlfriend.
2) Repeat above.

Nice score man. I've been thinking about trading mine in for something a lil' more sportier but I'm still going to have to find a reliable DD.

 

What if the girl was filthy rich?

 

well considering I am an engineer for CAT Global Mining and my girlfriend is somewhat rich and likes to buy me things once in a while for no reason so I have best of both worlds...lol.

 

LOL! Does she have a sister? J/K...
I'm already on lockdown w/ my other "girl." The GF at least understands my car fetish.

It's all about saving and understanding your goals when it comes to cars. And your partner should either be proactive about it or not. Just make sure you're supportive of her things and give her gifts to keep her "you never spend money on me" at bay. Yes guys, that even means if she wants to go to the opera or somewhere nice to eat.

Show a lil' appreciation, it goes a long way.

Sorry to get off topic. Anways... What's the first on the list for mods?

 

That's a sweet trade, dude. Evo is a kick ___ car. I just hope for your sake it's not plagued with the problems of past Mitsus. I knew a lot of dudes with DSM's back when I was into street racing and they were all pieces of ish.

Good luck!

 

How much were they asking for the evo?

 

even trade... what? i'm about to go see if they will do that for me!

 

You are only 20 yo and already an engineer? How the heck did you do that?

 

are you on coop, if so i'm an engineer too ;)

 

They wanted 23k for the Evo...only did 2 years of college and have been getting ready for this since my junior yr of high school. Nope no co-op for me, full time paid employee...lol.

 

Did you get your bachelors in mining engineer, or did you go the engineering technology route? I'm just asking as I graduated with my BS in mechanical engineering, and it took me a difficult, full scheduled 4 years to complete my degree.

Sweet car by the way.

 

Engineering Tech route...CAT paid my way with full scholarship...waiting to get bachelors which I'll hopefully be doing soon. Don't have the money to finish a 4 yr.

 

yeah.. teamben158 and I got "OK" cars because we have to pay our engineering student loan .
