Should I sell my evo 8 with 90k ?

Hi everyone, I know I am going to regret this but i'm debating on selling my evo. I really need the money for school plus I own a mercury sable that I can use. Plus i'm wondering how long my evo will last? Everything is fine on it now but im worried is 90k miles a lot?

this is really a question you have to ask yourself. if you cant afford tuition, keeping a second car (however cool it is ) probably isn't feasible. you're still young, cars come and go, and you have a lifetime to own an evo once your financial situation stabilizes.

also, there are MUCH higher mileage evo's around still running strong...maintenance is key. i wouldn't use this as a factor of whether to sell or not.

exactly this if you cant afford it and its not financially comfortable for you to keep it then sell it off for sure. Finish up school since thats what you are there for to get that sheet of paper so you can get a good job then buy another evo once your making that money. IF there is a way for you to keep it say working a couple more hours a week and it will not affect your school work then keep it but nobody likes to be broke and have no money to do whatever you like to do for real.

I'm battling this question myself! I hate to sell it but if you need money for school car should be second priority. I've only owned my Evo 9 months so I feel your pain!

Sell the Sable and drive less, or regret may creep in.

If money is tight then sell a car, no reason to go broke over a car.

With proper maintenance though 90k miles really isn't that much. There's been a few guys surpass 200k miles already, and I think one of them was actually still on the stock clutch. Preventative maintenance is key though.

Yeah, stocker lasted till 209k. Highway miles though.

Anyway, if it's money you need for school, I would sell the Evo.

sell the sable not the evo. no but on a serious note if you don't have the money for school sell the evo you could aways get another evo later but college is a once in a life time thing.

Just like everyone else has already said.... The car will last if you take care of it, but if you need the money for something like school i wouldn't even hesitate to sell it.

That is amazing.

As for your evo 90K with the proper maintenance is not much mileage at all. You can still get a decent amount for the EVO and perhaps buy one again in the future when you're done school.
