Theres not much anyone can really say about that. You got a whole lotta car for only 5k more? Thats a hell of a deal. Put 5k in the SI and your still getting crapped on by evos.

nobody can blame you for that choice, if I has that opportunity...

actually, depending on insurance it may be..... actually, I'd probably just go for it and figure out that stuff later

btw, does the new EVO have cruise control?

5k in a si will do wonders.. thats if you do the labor yourself.. with hook ups even better.

but when did new Evo's cost 25k.. and when did Mitsubishi make 07 evos?

ya but EVO = no labor = fast as hell

I would NEVER own one though. I'm not a fan.

I the Evos, although the wing is a little big, I think he got it for 25k because it was a demo car.

I love Evolutions, but I refuse to put another dime in Mitsubishi's pocket. Their customer service for warranty repairs can kiss my behind, not the mention their quality has gone down hill since the 97-99 2nd gen Eclipses...( as you will find out when the time comes for repairs...)

He probably meant last years model. 25 G's is still good for a demo Evo.

The insurance on an Evo is cheaper than our Si's. My brother use to have one and it was cheaper than his Si. My friend asked his insurance if Evos are sport cars and they said theres no such thing as a sport sedan. Not sure if its true though.

If I had the oppertunity to trade, I think I would too. Post pictures up so no one thinks your a faker!

is that a joke? evo was rated the most expensive (or one of the most expensive) cars to insure. no such thing as a sports sedan? yeah i guess a 300hp awd beast that is known to be raced by young male drivers wouldn't have anything to do with the rates either...
