Simply put, it's an idiot on an Internet forum who tries to create controversy. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_troll

 

You need to come out to an event soon. I'm quite confidant you'd feel very different with a little taste of the Evo's roots.

As for still being interested in an Evo. oh yeah. Right now I'm just a couple months away from having the slocus paid off, then gonna save for a few months, and probably pick up an Evo and move the MR2 and slocus to the back garage. Though I plan on keeping the slocus as the daily driver, it's just dirt cheap and fun.

 

MikeC - Try to avoid the simplicity for a moment and expand your thought. What's the point of stating troll in this thread?

 

$60 dollars for a damn oil change? Someone is robbing you blind.

If you cant find a cheaper place to do it(which is unbelievable), learn to do it yourself.

I guess it's all relative. I'm accustomed to paying out of my buttocks for service/parts. My previous ride was a '93 300zxtt. 17" Michelin Pilot MXX3s were $250 a pop. Oil changes w/synthetic oil cost $60, and that car didn't have a back seat! Moreover, it was basically useless in Chicago winters.

 

i guess you got bent over with out the lube....... align and mount and balance 200 bucks they must have seen you coming bro... cause you got ripped......... even on tires too.........

 

Damn dude, I hope after buying my evo I dont feel like you do now. I've been waiting for mine for a lonnggg time!

 

I "bring my own oil" to the dealership and let them change my oil. They charge me less than $15 to change it, filter included. I buy my oil at the local Costco for about $23 a case (6 quarts, takes 5).

So for less than $35, I don't change my own oil

 

goodluck on your sale

 

If are really selling it, pm me about the exhaust!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Exactly. I buy Mobil 1 from Wal Mart or Target for like $4 per quart then bring it to the dealer service center. The dealer charges about $15 for oil filter and labor. Total cost is about $35. That way I pay about the same as you would at your local shop and I still get the dealer service stamp in my book.

I can't believe people would pay $60 for an oil change!

you know everyone can say what they want about warrenties. what is gonna break the clutch? they wont replace it...the motor if it blows up they i will blame it on the dumpin clutches and any mods you have. who cares if you have a 7y/100mi it wont help you with anything. if something breaks you put something better on. i bought my car and im 18 stuff is more expensive because its a SPORT CAR not an economy car. you can't put the 4 for $80 tires on it oh well. same with the oil changes $60? DIY.

 

I got tired of my Evo too. I got in yellow. i t attracted to much attention. I loved the car though.

 

What are you driving now?
