Time for Evo to go. :(

Unfortunately i am unable to make payments on my evo anymore so im going to have to drop to a slightly less expensive car. This is where you guys come in. Heres what i was thinking.

used 01-03 rsx-s.
used srt-4.
99 civic si w. greddy t/c, 278 whp, very clean, no rice, under 50k miles.

Any other suggestions greatly appreciated, what do you guys think. I cant afford sports car insurance, so no supra, rx-7 or 300z will do. Lookin to pay around 18g or less.
Thanx

I made that mistake and bought a brand new one in 02. Mo. 3 they had to put in a second engine and month 13 a 3rd engine. then Lemon law happened after 9 mo. got all payments back and down pay. So now I have an evo with $10 dollars more than i was paying for my sentra. So maybe u could have the same luck, but i wouldnt do it because it was way too much stress and time consuming.

No offesnse man, but if I were in youre situation, I would be looking for VERY basic transportation with a good warranty and low insurance. Like a used civic or focus or cavalier, etc. I would just get an inexpensive, dependable car so you can save money for more important things in life. Not trying to be a financial councellor, but not making payments isnt a good think, and dropping from a 30k car with high maintenance costs to a "slgihtly less expensive car" with high maintenance isnt much of a step down IMO, at least in the long run. Good luck.

DO NOT BUY A USED WRX!

Have you seen or got a quote for insurance on rsx-s? Its still an "acura". It's really between the srt4 and I heard insurance is high for that car too, so get an sI.

I agree but get the ralliart model or the 01-03 Lancer.

There are plenty of parts out there for the 01-03
