I had to return my evo :/

I got an evo ix from a used car lot and they let me drive it home with basically no paperwork and nothing finalized only giving us an initial price and interest rate that we agreed to. the next day i had to bring it back because there were some cosmetic repairs that they were going to make as agreed on. so i was without the car for 6 days. when i went to pick it up there were supposed to have the paperwork there to be signed but in a rather unorganized (yet expected) fashion they did not have it. today they brought the paperwork to my house and my mom was about to sign it but realized the finance rate had gone from 6.8% to 8.9%. and the price of the car had been raised over $1000. that started a big arguement between my parents and the "dealer" and my dad decided i would not get the car and they would just give me back my old car. now im stuck with no options. my parents refuse to buy me a used car now and im not a fan of the X. the aluminum (from what i hear) is no good for modding. theres really no cars out there that are this style anymore... i dont really know what to do.

the situation doesnt sound normal, just go to a local carmax and pick up an evo. they are a little more pricey but explain to your parents that yes its a used car, but its carmax garanteed! so its sorta like a new car dealership.

i bought my old gti from there. it was awsome till i started to mod it. lol

If your parents are buying your cars, then you shouldn't be driving an Evo.

Parents shouldn't be buying Evo's for thier kids anyways. I don't really know how old the OP is, but to be honest, returning the car was probably the best thing. I assume he's young if his parents are buying the car. They probably saved his life.

I have a buddy that bought a Evo 9 from CarMax and it had 16,000 miles on it and hasn't had any issues with it either.
