Well.....being evoless got the best of me....

After selling my EVO back in March, I bought a 480whp 04' Cobra. After the purchase, I found out my wife was pregnant with our second child and I started to regret getting rid of the EVO. I came across a EVO owner on the SVT forums that was a former Mach 1 owner and wanted to trade his 06' GG EVO 9 SE for a Cobra. After a few days on PM's and price negotiating and plans to meet up, I met up with him about 100 miles from St. Louis and swapped cars.

I'm back in the EVO game once again!!!! My SE had 4090 miles on it when I started the drive home. Its practically brand new.

It's good to be back.

I sold the Cobra for 27K and bought the EVO for 29K. I came out pretty good on the Cobra cause I paid a good chunk less when I bought it. I thought the chance of finding another SE like this with the mileage and the owner willing to trade for a Cobra was pretty much slim to none.

Definately sounds like a once in a lifetime deal.

Congrats

My Cobra was a beast of its own. It trapped 95mph in the 1/8 at our local track. Making 480whp the car hooked really good.......even better once I put some 315 DR's on the rear.

Even though I'm starting all over again with a EVO, I feel like I'm in the right car for me and my family situation.

I really was suprised on the power of the car stock compared to my EVO 8 when it was stock. I can definately tell a difference in the two.

No....you can't trade cars technically when you have a lien on them. He bought my car for 27K and I boght his car for 29K. The banks worked out the deal, gave us the checks, and we met up and swapped cars and checks and went about our way and started enjoying our new cars.
