What am i missing? Everyone is selling their evos left and right.

 

not me, I am keeping this for a long time. I have had it over a year now, and wouldn't trade it for anything.... OK maybe a 360 Ferrari, maybe!


People get sick of things fast, it's human nature.

 

I think because people want to get a 05. For me, I'll just keep my 03 and buy the Quaife front LSD and waalaaa...there you go, a poor man's 05.

 

Thats my plan too. My 03 EVO is far from perfect, but I'm keeping it.

 

idk i know i'm never gonna get rid of my car, but this is my opinion.. many of these people who buy these cars on average are what early-mid 20 many are now at the phase in their life where they are having kids.... and if its not that i think maybe many feel that cause of mitsubishis unsure future. they are trying to get as much money back as they can before they really lose it all.. idk bu ti'll stick with number 1

 

for some people... reality bites them... the car isn't for them...
other people... unforseen financial troubles get the best of them...
such a tough decision to choose between life and car...
especially when people make their car their life...

as for myself... I just got mine... i plan to keep it... the car has brought me to a whole new level of maturaty and mentality. the people that i've met with other Evos/Lancers have brought forth a new side of me that shows that even though it's a car... has changed me.

with all that said... if the reasons above do not apply... maybe people want to bring this experience to someone else that might need it more than themselves.. haha!

 

I don't plan on selling mine at all, I know many people are trading theirs in for the new update models. I will always have an EVO in my garage in someway...

 

In my view, there isn't any car now on the U.S. market that is a better all-around performer for the money than the Evo sedan. Sure, it's a kidney-shaker and has a chincy interior and weak clutch, but it is fast and you can feel what it wants to do in a fast corner. Truth be told, I was a tad disappointed my car's autocross performance this year, but that all changed at a track day when I got the car on a road course. It seemed the car was much more agile and quick on the track than at the autocross - that it was in its element on the track. Anyway, my two cents ... .

 

Weak clutch is right, 250 miles only and I can feel it slipping already.

 

8k miles.... although not much... feels like it's stronger than ever... except on prolonged tofu runs... after like an hour or so of hard driving... it can get pretty mushy... no slippage though

 

I'm not selling, I just bought my RS. I like it so much I might just sell my S4. No need to have 2 high powered awd 4-door cars.

EVO RS is defintely the best bang for the buck performance car available today, and maybe ever.

 

Here we go again.....20k and clutch is good as new.

 

 

There is no way that damn thing is slipping unless you launched it right of the sales lot(several times and fried it). Ive slipped my stock clutch once to the point where it reaked for an hour(accidentally) and even then it functioned properly. I also had a buschur stage 4 and BR500 at one time and that same clutch did fine. I only changed the clutch to a twin plate because of my upgrade to a gt35r.

 

Another reason people are selling is they get the evo,mod the hell out of it and after 2 or
3 really good tickets(ie:racing,speeding,engaging officer in pursuit) your insurance ends up costing you more than you car is worth,thats when you by a TOYOTA ECHO,or something along those lines.Face it,driving these cars modded is like driving a jap sport bike,but you can seat 4 and drive in winter(for those of us that have winter),hence it gets you full circle back to my first point,TICKETS.Hell it's worth it either way ,just my opinion.
