predicament

I have a RR RS 6 months old, got it for 27,500 (thought I was getting a deal)
it only has 7500 on it now still stock, but now I think I want a evo 9 GSR.
What do I do?

I was thinking of putting it up in paper or something for like 26k
But I don't think anyone would just jump on that. Anyone have any suggestions?

This is one of the reasons why I researched on the Evo for over a year's time. Also, before I made the ultimate decision to buy, I test drove three cars - '04 and '05 VIIIs and an '05 MR, all used.

Buying any car, let alone an Evo, is a serious investment for me. I always want to be as informed and confident as possible in what I buy. It saves me from regretting a bad purchase.

Side note: I didn't just buy the RS because it's the cheapest. Had I determined that the MR was best for me, I would've found a way to get it instead.

You can always try to trade your car or list it on Ebay, Auto Trader, or Cars.com. Listing your car for sale locally might not be such a bad idea either. It wouldn't hurt to try and compare all options.

As far as pricing is concerned, look to the market to see what other '05 RSs are going for. Look in KBB and NADA, also.

Above all, in summary, just be smarter about it next time. And remember to research, research, research!

wait another year, lose a few bucks by selling it too early, then buy a used 9. this is the only practical way to do what you want, unless you are ok with losing alot of money by selling the rs now.

if i were you, id stick with the rs. evos were born to be driven, drive the best one(we can get)

if I buy 20g + cams + injectors= 2000.00 cheapest

so if I lose 2k on car. then I upgrade in car for basically same price.
