Having 13k to put down is great, but financing 17k over 6 years...?

Then I would think about the money you could have saved on interest alone and the dignity of you being raped by the dealer for 72 more months.

I mean yeah its about 3,000 in interest, but is that alot compared to what you guys are paying? Also correct me if I am wrong about my post before, but isn't the price going to be the same for the IX except about $500 more for each model?

I have no idea what it exactly will be, but that should be close since she will be cosigning.
Here goes my calculation for you. These are all hypothetical numbers....say you get a 05 EVO IX and...
MSRP $31,000
+tax&lics.... ~8% of your MSRP
Your Total =$33480
Downpay -$13,000
Your loan =$20480
Your APR = 5%
Your monthly =$330
Total you pay after 72 months =$23760
Total Interest on your loan =$23760-$20480=$3280...not bad...
The interest you pay is 16% of your original loan.

I think I am going to just get the 05. Because the only reason I would get the IX would be for the MIVEC engine and once its broke in I am going to put the buschur stage 1 on it. Stage 1 plus price I can get an 05 for is less than a IX and my VIII would easily beat the IX.

Although I do like STi's, I am afraid that the new redesign isn't going to look very well. Currently I am a student who just got fired from his job for some BS. First I would get a new job ASAP. Should I buy the Evo in end of May/beginning of June or wait for the IX to come out. If I wait for the IX I could probably get the Evo a little cheaper because its a left over if they still have it. Is the MIVEC engine and 8 hp or whatever it is more worth buying a IX instead of VIII. By the way I would put 13k down and payments would be roughly 290 per month for 72 months.
