2005 Lancer Evolution - 1992 Miata
Well like the title says i traded my MSP for a silver 05 Evo8 tonight. I like the evo alot but i felt so weird driving off with out the speed. But any way the Auffenberg Auto Mall in O'fallon IL. Has a silver 03.5 with 16500 miles, that has been very well taken care of, if anyone is interested. oh ya and they gave me $12800 for it so if any one wants it you know what they paid.
 
I just remembered i got them up to $13200 at the last minute, for the trade not $12800. The evo was new had 5 miles on it. The dealer i went to didnt have any, so they had to get it from St. louis and they were'nt very flexible on the price of the car. they went down a little but not to much. I had to fight like crazy to get $13200 for the speed. The first offer was $10800
(notcool)
 
I had 0% on the MSP, so i thought i would get it on the EVO to. They said you must have a credit score of 700+ to get 0%, i was just a few points off, and they said there was nothing the could do. So i ended up with 1.9 o well .
 
1.9 still isn't too bad, can i ask what you paid and if you had any option packages? oh yea, and what color :) i'm looking at one with the sun/sound/leather package, in electric blue, and i'm trying to get them to match the price on fitzmall.com of $30,350+ttl. they have a few listed with that package at that price, but not the blue, so hopefully I can get a local dealer to come close to their price and get a blue one, if not silver or white is good looking too :)
 
why buy a old 8 when 9 is coming out next week?? Has blacked out headlights and tails, all new suede black interior instead of the puke blue/purple. Also the 9 has a better revised tranny and MIVEC that increase response and also revised turbine housing.
 
0% financing, 98% of what the 9 is, able to get it below invoice, the ones i'm looking at have black leather, why would you bother to get a 9?
 
On some EVO's black leather Recaro's are an option. Very nice seats. But you don't buy an EVO for the interior. Congrats on the purchase.
 
I agree. As much as i love leather seats I would rather save the money on the leather and get sparco's in it. Evo's are not meant for leather IMO.
