well you may have seen my post yesterday talking about maybe getting rid of my bike to put a nice down on the evo. i got rid of an evo already, which i loved, and kicked myself in the *** every day for it. figure i love the bike too and will do the same if i get rid of it. kept the bike and went and bought me an evo. payment is reasonable and i get a nice *** raise at work in july so ill make due, plus i get to have my two toys.

bought at biggers mitsu in elgin IL, where i bought my last one in 2003. the guy i bought from then no longer works there, but he trained and is good friends with the guy i met today. gave me a nice deal. i think he said MSRP is 32xxx, i got for 30 OTD. thats a fair deal. they have to get it from another dealship about 30 miles away (they had only silver at biggers) so i had to wait for a while but im glad i got the red it really is sharp.

 

you are talking OTD as in after TTL, right? Is that after the down payment?

 

out the door is after everything. it was 30100. pretty fair i think. they said MSRP is 32500 they cut it to me for about 28900.

 

Welcome back...better keep it for good this time

 

good stuff man!!!

 

evo's and sti's are so confusing... I look at them and go - that thing doesn't look like a sports car, it cant be fast, it cant be THAT good at performance.

but somehow it is...


congrats man, enjoy!

 

im enjoying it all over again. i sat in that recaro, of course the new suede trimmed one, haha, and it felt like i never left.

one thing i will say though is that the drivetrain of the IX feels way stiffer and tighter than the 8. the 8 felt like the train was loose and it was very notchy. i had 30K miles on mine when i sold it and never had a problem, so it wasnt bad, just like the feel of this one better.
