I recently hit reality and figured that paying each month for a car is not the way to go either buy it in whole or not at all is going to be my modo from now on. I get about 2 grand a month with my current job but after taxes its only about 1700-1800 I get commission but its bs. Anyways I just figured I am paying for this car and Im wasting all my money. I owe some people some cash not to much but its making this hard. I love the car to death. Im young to have this car but I can afford it. its just taking all my money away. I dono what to do. My cars a 2006 Evo IX about 3 months old GG KBB says 28000 for a 2005 in excelent condition. What do you guys think... How much could I get for it. here are some pictures. Car has 3000 miles on it and is in perfect condition is lowered with Ksport coilovers. Has a apexi n1 exhaust with custom 3inch piping.

 

why didn't you think about such problems before you bought it? It only has 3k miles on it...it obviously hasn't been that long since the purchase.

Making 30k a year and buying 30K+ car that is expensive to run and maintain is a bad decision - anyone could have warned you of that before your purchase.

 

Nah I can do it and all but I would rather just have a paid off car so I can just drive it and then have the rest of my money to do what I want like save for a House or something and im going to college so beh

 

im sorry man, if i were you i would hold on to it! because if you trade it in your going to lose alot of $$$ if you were to trade it back.

best of luck to you tho bro!

 

are you serious? Half of this kid's paycheck is gonna go towards the car. Not worth it especially since he has more important things (ie college) up ahead.

Sell the car private party and wash yourself of this loan before you have it repoed.

You should be able to get 27k or so...I'd personally sell the coilovers and maybe try to trade for some stock wheels...it will help your resale.

 

sry man that blows

 

Ya sell me your coilovers.

 

This thread should be permanently listed at the top of the threads for those young, inexperienced buyers with relatively low income as a warning. I'm not going to sit here and tell you that you weren't thinking when you purchased the evo knowing you could barely afford it, but I think its a good thing to learn and something that we've been trying to say on this board to the lesser income earning people here for quite some time now. Goodluck with the sale, you should still be in excellent shape afterwards.

 

Sorry to hear that you need to sell it, there is nothing more frustarting that wanting a dream car and not being able to afford it.

You made the right decision, you can not have a car that is draining half of your paycheck or more(car payment+insurance+gas+registration).

My suggestion is that you go and get something more affordable for now like a 97-99 GSX or a 94' and up VR4, you would still be very fast and you would still have a nice ride and definately you would have more money.

I don't want to feed the fire anymore but a $30000 car purchase when you are making $30000 a year should have been solved already.

Good luck!!

If you do sell it, good luck. I've been trying to sell my 8 since september, but god hates me and so does everyone else haha.

 

I really have to commend you for admitting that. Most people would have been too proud to do so.

 

Sucks to hear, how much for the coilovers?

 

yeah PM about the coilovers also about wheels!

 

damn you guys are like grave diggers haha..he hasnt even sold the car and you guys are asking about the part out. haha

 

Your going to suck the big one when you sell it now....
