In a bit of a dilemma MR vs. GSR

Well my dealership down the road has an MR and a Evo with the Sun and Sound Package. MR goes for 35300, and the GSR is like 34200. I am 19 but drive anywhere from 700-1400 miles a week. So my driving is not in the teen category. But feel that I should go ahead and buy a GSR and take a high performance driving school, and feel amazing about my purchase. So what are you guys thoughts.

if you're leaning towards the GSR, get the GSR!

I am in a similar dilemma. With the GSR, I could save $1500 and get better mods? But the $1500 will not get me 6speed! This is my story.

What is the final cost on the cars?(Is there more room to negotiate on the gsr) If the difference is still only $1100 I would get the MR.

They only have one GSR in right now and its yellow so bleh. They said that they will be getting a new shipment around the first and second week of December. But before then I have to get my financing out of the way. So my dad can still be on the back end of my employment record.

I got my '05 GSR because the difference in price was to far spread. For $110 difference, I would go MR for sure. Either way, any Evo is a great Evo.

6 speed 5 speed...big deal.

Get whatever suits you. Do you want improvements? or do you want something that is alittle bit quicker than the 03/04s?

Id get the mr if the prices are that close. you could always put 1500 in mods in a month or two.

For the little difference I'd go MR. Resale value on the 1000-run MR is likely to be better in the long run.

im scared of insurance and all the wreck posts with the MR. I got a speeding ticket a little while ago so insurance should be a little high. Thought when I was quoted insurance a few months back it was only like 20 dollars more a month than my Bronco. Im still on my parents insurance btw.
