hey i've had my 06 evo IX since july and it's without a doubt the most amazing car i've ever driven but im 19 and in college. my parents are splitting the payments with me right now, and i'm able to pay it easy but it doesn't leave me much money to save for apartment, food, workout suppliments etc.

but i feel like if i decide to sell it now ill have missed my chance for a while to own an evo. and if i do sell it my dad's giving me his old 02 wrx so it wouldn't be all bad. though i'd probibly use my money to mod that anyway haha just looking for some advice. thanks

 

I would say sell the evo. After being in a similar situation with going to college and having a tight budget, things are much easier when you have extra money laying around for rent, etc. All of that pressure is taken off of you so you can concentrate more on studying, learning, and doing all of the stuff that makes college a blast. Trust me, studying hard now and doing well in school will pay off way more than having a nice car in college and maybe not landing that higher-paying job due to lower grades from being distracted.

 

I'd sell it too. Finish up school and when your done I'm sure there will be a new and better evo you can buy!

 

If you are asking this question then you shouldn't keep the evo.

 

I agree with every1 as well, but then again...Your only 19-20 once! You gotta live your life to what makes YOU happy. G/L w/ your decision

 

Sell the car. Enjoy college. A 2002 wrx is still a badass car to have at 19-20. It isn't like you would dropping the Evo for a 73 Buick LeSabre or something. go rex.

 

LOL. Shouldn't have had one in the first place! Sell it for work out supliment $$

Ya I'm a dik, get over it.

 

get a better job n keep the evo man!

if u really love the car then work for it baby.

if its not that big of a deal (the car that is) to you.. sell it and get the wrx and do your thing.

 

Well personally I think you made a mistake by buying the EVO before college rather than after. I saved my pennies through school and then had a nice down payment saved up when I graduated in '04. But since you already have it you might as well keep it. You'll find a way to afford it. Remember, you're in college so it is OK to drink Natty and Beast. You dont need that high class stuff. That should help save some money.

 

evo is an expensive car to maintain. I say sell it. You are going to need lots of money for pads, rotors, plugs, etc.

 

I made the mistake of getting one in my freshman year of college too, saved all through HS and dropped a 6500 down payment, and now im unhappyly making 301 a month payment, but you know what, I still love this car to death, and Im willing to work hard enough to be sucessful in school and make my payments on time every month. And have enough extra laying around to mod a little bit and take care of the car with all nessacary maintanance. To me having a car I can be proud of is of paramount importance, but I can understand how it wouldnt be to someone else, so you have to weigh your prioritys.

 

thanks for the comments guys yeah i figure it might have been a mistake to get it the summer before college, but i don't drink becuase im trying to become an amature then one day professional bodybuilder so i don't party very often and i work at a resturaunt so i make 2k a month 5ish of which goes to the car a month so i still have money im still debating as to what to do but im sure i'll figure it out. i also put 4k into it so i would strait up loose that

ill let yall know what i decide im paying feb then im deciding by march

 

I say quit buying meaningless "workout supplements". Eat real food. It's not necessarily quicker, but it's cheaper. You'll probably save yourself $100 a month if you drop the supplements! hehe

 

im going through the same thing, im selling mine too the guy picks it up sunday. its hard but you have to have your priorities striaght. goodluck

 

thanks guys... yeah much more than a 100 a month haha. but i couldn't it's my life just like my car. haha. and im moving back in with my parents next sem so im saving 6k a year at least next year. who knows it's a hard decision
