what to do?????

ok guys, i have an evo VIII with 54k on the clock. no problems with it so far. but i kinda want a IX, but dont have the funds to get one. i owe 22 on it and can probly on get like 19 or 18 for it, so im in the hole. what should i do? buy something new and cheap to get out of the evo(example base cobalt for like 11 or 12k)and save up for a IX. or should i keep the VIII. what could i get for my VIIII if i sold it myself? mods in sig. i also have a 92 tsi with only 113k on the clock, but it is a dsm and i scared to just rely on it alone, needs a turbo gasket as i speak

the obvious answer is keep what you have that makes the most sense

no point in putting yourself in a hole financially

^^^ True. You already owe too much if you ask me. Just keep the car untill things clear out on the horizon. IX is not really worth going thorugh all that troubles. (<---- Over what you have got)

sell that pos DSM & put that cash towards the amount u owe on ur EVO. also i would increase the amt u pay so u can flip easier. for example, on a 5yr loan if u made 14 payments/yr, it would roughly be paid off in 3.5 yrs.

i didn't have a job when i bought my EVO. this year i recently got laid off the day b4 thxgiving. i have never missed a payment...

Don't hate the VIII is my motto. You already got cams so just add a IX turbo or evogreen and call it a day.

Man just keep the car. You know you want to so do it. The biggest thing i hate about people that as opinion about cars is no matter what you tell them they dont listen and then they mess things up. You love the evo there should be nothing that should stand in the way of you being happy with your car. When i got my Evo i was a E4 in the army and couldnt afford it but you know after eating Cup-O-Noodles for a year it was well worth it!
