I paid $18.00 for my Buschur Built '03 Evo. The car currently has a BR 2.1L Shortblock, BR stage 3 head w/ BF272 cams. Stock ported intake and throttle body, Exedy triple clutch, 780 injectors and double pumper, BR Race front mount intercooler & piping, FP Red turbo and AEM EMS. The set up has around 4000 miles on.

 

It's all preference. I would not want the car you bought. It would suit my wants and needs. I'd pay less for it than a stock, non-abused IX. However, someone that is into having a race car would see it as gold. It's all in perception.
An evo is worth what someone is willing to pay. The desparity of pricing is quite interesting, though.

 

I just got me an 06 MR with 4,6XX miles for 27k. just picked it up yesterday.

 

nice mileage. price seems in line with what i'm finding out there. private owner or dealership?

 

wao evoguam
thats a steal
congrats

 

I have an evo 9 MR with 16k on it! Graphite Grey, heated garage kept, second owner. How much could i get for this if i would be willing to sit on her for awhile! I dont really wanna sell but than again every time i see a GT-R i want her GONE! Dont hate even tho were all mitsu guys here ya gotta respect what they did with the GT-R!

 

I know a guy with an evo and GT-R. He's happier driving the Evo. Just putting that out there.

 

I paid the equivalent of USD 20K for my E7 with 88K Kms on it.

 

Yeah you're correct it's all preference I bought this car to race it it's not my daily driver so I got what I wanted a built car and I saved myself time and money. I'll have my fun trying different mod's and setups to make it faster and when I get tired of the car I'll sell it.

 

i just like the versatility of the GT-R over the EVO. Because of the V-6. The EVO still wins in most handling comparisons i have read altho the 2.0l engine limits it to one event pretty much in my mind. The EVO cant be a FAST drag car and be good on the auto-x track in my mind. Where i belive the GT-R could be just because of the low end power the v-6 gives you.

 

I hate dealers they rip everyone a new one

 

Used to work for them before I joined the military. Good deals can sometimes be found but many times cars can be over priced. Managers can demo the cars up to a month at a time and once a manager took a one year old low mileage sti and crashed it showing off in the parking lot. Did 1500 in damage, had to replace axles etc and they fixed it and tacked on the extra $$$ to the price of the car. If you don't see small print that says XXX below book value under the price of the car, that was the general rule of thumb the vehicle was overpriced.

 

After reading this, I defintely feel you would be happier with a GT-R. {Thumbup}
Just for funsies, after you get the GT-R and make it a FAST drag car, I'll then meet you at an auto-x event with my evo. I have $500 on my car. Deal? :-)

 

Interesting point. I did notice, while the entire car looked brand new, there were a couple parts (radiator brackets that appeared old and rusted) that looked out of place on the car. I had a "weird" feeling while checking it out.
Still.. Had it been $5k less, I may have went back with a co-signer. LOL

 

Yea rest assured that incident with the STI was not reported so it would not have been on the carfax they keep on file for each vehicle. They claim to be honest and no hassle but they have their ways of being shady just like every regular dealership out there. Also, if the vehicle is nice and its price is low it means the vehicle was probably not in need of repairs when they got it. The vehicles that seem overpriced are the ones they have to dump money in to like the sti I mentioned. First time it was on the lot it didnt seem like to bad a deal but who in their right mind would have thought the value of the vehicle would go up after an accident lol! After working there, for me to buy a car from them it would have to be pretty much the deal of the century.
