Evo X Thoughts? (Sighting)

[peterdaniel]

Mitsubishi has NO resale value. Period. I don't care what the roman numeral on the end or if its a evolution or a revolution. No resale value whatsoever. Great warranty though.. Buy one and be prepared to keep it for 5 years and then eat it in the end.
Then watch as no intellegent person buys a used Evolution as they have mostly been abused and raced.

lol...dealer mark-ups crack me up. MSRP is already a "mark up" over invoice. Bastards!

I remember when the Evo first came out, someone posted a sticker from a dealer that had a 10k mark-up on it. lol Heck even Toyota does it. I remember seeing a used MR2 Spyder when they were first re-released. I thought, "Wow I might be able to pick this up a few thousand under MSRP because it has a few miles on it". NOPE...even used it was 5k over MSRP. Ironicly enough Toyota couldn't sell those cars for squat. Worst selling model in Toyotas recent history...thus the reason it's now extinct. Now...they are marking up the FJs, even years after first release!

Dealers blow.

It's funny that you mention the FJ. I remember seeing it when it was unveiled at the NAIAS back when I was in college. They kept throwing out "most likely msrp for under $20k." Ha!

Why is everyone set on the phrase: "Im not going to spend the extra $9k-$12k on an evo or sti, for only a 20-30hp difference." I am coming from a 06 evo 9 mr with around a couple grand into it in mods and it was probably the wildest car to drive. The reason I think we should hinder away from that phrase is because, not everyone likes the appeal, shape, design, of our speed 3s, but they all say the same thing, its a great bang for your buck as some would say. People just dont spend that extra couple grand for a few more ponies, they spend it on a product that has a history behind it, an as far as the evo vs sti discussion goes, this battle has been going on longer than some of us have been alive. I just feel both the new and old versions of both cars we great in its time and will continue to battle for supremecy. As for the speed 3? I love my car, thats the reason I traded my evo 9 in, for reasons of the hatchback, cause i store tons of stuff an play hockey, i live in hawaii, and theres no track and or need of all wheel drive, now if there was a track, I would still have it. Everyone has there reasons on why they like either or, the fact is if your posting in a mazdaspeed 3 thread, chances are you made your choice being price, power, or looks, who knows. All I can say is I am favoring the new sti because the same reasons why I got the 3, hatch, power, comfort and performance.

An just to finish it, just say you do add up what you really get for the $5k-$8k in price between our cars?
