im paying $450 on mine but i got 4 years left.
and i pay WAY TOO MUCH in gas. ive just been getting about 200miles to the tank

 

car payment: 300
insurance: 89.60
gas: 100
I'm 29 and married so insurance isn't that bad, plus I only drive it on Fridays and Saturdays so I get another insurance break for keeping it under X amount of miles a year.

 

Car Payment: $600
Insurance: $100
GAS+METH $100

Total $800

Don't forget about oil changes, tires, brake pads, and of course mods.

 

damn i dont see how peoples insurance is so low, i have zero accidents 1 traffic ticket that had no points. what is the deal? maybe i should shop around.

 

car payment- none, paid cash
ins- $414 every 6 months
service-$60 every other month

 

Car payment = $0 - Bought full with cash
Insurance = $200/month
Gas = $50/month - I only drive it 1 day a week.

 

Dam, i wish i could find insurance in washington as cheap as you guys, i was lookin to get an evo, but they wanted 550 a month for insurance, that tottaly ****ted on my dream of an evo

 

Car payment 467 ish
Insurance 160 ish

 

Car payment=421.00
Insurance= 100.00
Gas=120/month
Maintenance=Depends how many miles im at. Just recently spent 100 on the 30k mile service

 

Car payment $500 (shorter term on loan)
Ins. $140 (full coverage)
gas $150-200 (per month)
Mods...$$$$ (way too much)

 

I pay:

400 a month car payment
140 a month insurance
160+ a month for gas

equals 700 a month

Oil changes cost me about 60 to do myself with mitsu filter and Mobil 1 every 3-5000 miles

plugs every 3,000 are $12-$14 if you do it yourself

But maintenance varies
This month alone I've spent $890 for tires and a new windshield

but I do have an 03 with almost 70,000 on the odometer so things start to break

I've already:

rebuilt the tranny $ 2500

replaced the clutch $1200

replaced the front struts $500

Timing belt $600

and rebuilding the engine at about 80,000 miles too

Plus a few thousand in mods and tuning

so just keep in mind owning this vehicle costs $$$$$$ no way out of it.

Hope that helps you get an idea of what your getting into. Overall the evo is a great car, I love it. Things break because the cars are generally pushed farther than most cars. Are they pieces of ****....not at all, in fact the engine alone is tough as nails. The paint and interior quality is another story

 

Evo was monthly:
0 Payment (hooray for California Real Estate!)
~100 gas
100 insurance
~50 maintenence (avg out for the year, minus the cost of track equipment [track tires, gas at the track, track pads, etc]

Porsche is:
320 payment
~100 gas (almost the exact mpg as the Evo, on average...)
109 insurance ( at the Evo and its high insurance)
~14 in maintenence (Yes, really, but that isn't including parts if something breaks...)

 

This thread is a reality check for those who are considering buying an Evo. Like me.

 

hmmmm this thread hasnt changed my mind just yet but im still thinking because i went to see an 06 evo ix with 12k miles costing 24995$ totaled out to 26,700$ after taxes and they want 400$ per month. i am a 20 yr old college student working part time. What should i do?!?!?!

 

Can you afford to keep up with that on a part time job? Personally, I wouldn't go for a car that expensive on a parttime job. It just doesn't seem reliable. But if you can afford it and that's what you want, go for it.
