Someone wants to trade me for my Evo. I got a 06 EVO IX MR with 98k miles basically stock. this guy has a 97 eclypse GS-T with 86k miles on it pushing about 650whp. streight up trade is what he wants....bad deal? im no car expert so this is why I ask

 

Having owned many DSM's, I would say unless you're going racing, there's no point to this trade. He is by FAR getting a better deal, no matter how much power it has it's still a early 2gb and FWD, which means it won't sell for more than 7-9K MAX unless he parts it out. Your evo, even with the mileage, would be ~20K so unless he adds a considerable amount of money, you'll be getting shafted. Only DSM trade I *might* consider would be a 99 anniversary addition GSX, LOW, LOW miles, one owner, with pretty much built everything. Anything other than that would be a ripoff IMO. Good luck eitherway.

 

id be looking for some cash to come your way with the car, dont matter to me if it was built or not, still a 97 eclipse GS-T, your talkn about a trade between two cars that are almost 10 years apart, but to each his own, gl

 

i was gonna ask for about 7k plus car

 

that sounds much better than straight up, maybe even a couple grand more, but depends on how much your car is worth right now

 

its worth about 15-16k

 

Don't even bother, 650 HP and FWD is unusable. Kepe you car how could you not want it?

 

650hp in FWD is useless, you wouldn't get any traction at all.

 

Run away from this guy. Ull regret it if u don't.

 

ya wish it was a GSX

 

you will end up spending the $7000 on repairs, do not do it

 

I wouldent do it. The Evo is wayyyy more reliable than a built older DSM would be. I would tell him atleast $7k ontop

 

why go from a nice awd car to a fwd dsm that with that power your going to be spending money all the time on it for maintaining it.


Dont do it

 

I traded my GSX and A LOT of $$$ on top for my EVO 9. It would think with the HP he is running the car has been modded to the extreme. Not sure if you want that kind of car as a DD or just a weekend toy, but an Eclipse like that usually doesn't fetch much in resale value.

 

horrible deal
