Question Why Are People Selling Their Evos???

Curious as hell as to the main reason people are wanting out of their Evos . I hear people say how they are sooooooooooo happy they got a Evo, so much fun each drive, no problems minus normal clutch issues. Other than that, and paint being crappy, what is the true issue people find reason to sell. I ask because if my R32 does in fact sell, I wanna know what to expect, or maybe why I SHOULDN'T buy a Evo in all seriousness.

Thanks in advance and please give me down to earth answers. Spending 25-32k doesn't happen everyday for me



Maybe I should keep the .:R

People sell it because they cannot afford it. There is soo much aftermarket - you get tempted and put yourself in serious debt.

I agree, the evo is a very expensive car to maintain in the first place. That, coupled with an insatiable thirst for modding makes it a HUGE money pit. Insurance isn't cheap either.

If you are one of the few that choose to leave the car stock, it may be a moot point, but for most evo owners, it's a neverending project.

what he said


also, u have to understand...abrupt financial circumstances may arise...so owners may need $

anyway...dont worry about it tho, ppl selling evo does not mean anything..its just everyday thing...same reason why you'd see 1238472137 civics on sale everyday...

I'll be selling my '03 towards the end of the year so I can buy a EBP '06 IX. I'll probably drive the IX into the ground and buy something with a little more power.

nice way to shoot a promo for your car in the evo forum...

To answer your question, it's easy. You just move on with you life, or it doesn't fit your life style as of now. Same with your R32, your just moving on with your life or it doesn't fit your life style right now.

Dude for example..u break a diff and ur $2000 in the hole. Mitsu warranty sucks so that doesnt help. THe car is F*n amazing machine!! but affording the car isnt so amazing. I spent well over $8k on my car already and i look at it and go "umm what the hell cost me $8k?"!!!!!!!!!!

You will be the same with your R32 - I dont know too much about R32's but im sure a high perf car like that has a big aftermarket. Im telling you - going on forums doesnt help either. Forums are the devil. They keep making u spend money. As far as I know - I can say im making pretty good money so I dont really mind spending money on the car to make it faster. I do have a repair fund incase something goes wrong.

So saying that people sell their Evo's for financial reasons is probably the best explanation. They dont sell the car because they are tired of it or want to move on to bigger and better things. Because trust me - Evo is just that (bigger and better).
