What do you think just think pull the trigger on a base WRX and trade my evo for 12k$? Or keep it and do the necessary repairs (about 3k in mantnence needed)?

I just don't want to keep dumping dough into of it some other ish comes up ... ya know, but I love my baby and she has been good to me.

Anyway thanks for your input brothers ...

 

3k to keep a better performing car while saving yourself the ~14k over trade in that a wrx will cost you. Answers simple to me, but it is nice to not worry about stuff breaking and needing repairs out of warranty

 

Honestly, you're better off fixing it up and selling it private.

 

how the F do you let 3k worth of maintenance build up? and how bad of shape is it that youd only get 12k?

 

Its mainly a new clutch, flywheel, rear diff, xfer case, ps flush, ac needs recharged

 

That is why I'm stuck bro. Plus what if some bs comes up right after I dump 2500-3000k$

 

It's on a trade and the RS though loved by us, means **** to the dealership it's a base model, power nothing, and a hard sell. It was the cheapest EVO after all and it's 8 yrs old at this point.

 

My ride is in great shape I just drove it across the country in 4 days 2 months ago. I had my timing belt and fluids, brakes, tires all watched done over the 8 years I'v had my evo so I know what's up homie.

I'm asking caus I have been feeling my clutch slip in the last few weeks and if I dump 2000$ into that, i"m getting the rest done and keeping it.

 

I don't agree. A dealer in Oregon was giving me 12 grand after he drove my car.

 

Huh in the first post you said trade your EVO for 12k and get the WRX. Someone asked why only 12k for it. I explained why. Then you said a dealer offered 12k.

Am I missing something?

 

Sorry. I mis-read what your post was saying. My bad dude ... : )

 

Will you finance? If so, then you'll easily be spending $3-4K per year in payments. Are you going to mod it?

 

I would finance less than half. Cash and trade. 3.9% loan, cr score good, then pay it off in 2 years. cash and evo for down payment. evo paid off. plus some cash down if it needs to be ... but prolly nt

 

stage 2 mods

 

IMHO, since the Evo is paid off, it's in great shape (other than the $3K in repairs needed) and it's an RS I'd keep it.

Otherwise, sell it privately. I know you said the clutch is starting to slip, but is the rear diff and transfer case bad? If it is, then I can see your point, but like you said if you fix it you should keep it.

It's cheaper to keep her!
