Fed up with my evo

I am fed up with my evo. I really didn’t want to take the hit, but I feel I must get out while I still can. I have had nothing but trouble with this car in the 1500 miles I have owned it, and am going to trade it in this week. I really enjoyed participating on this board, and have learned many things in my short time here. I will most likely go to carmax. Any suggestions on how to "jazz up" the car before I take her in? Anyway, just though I'd let you guys know that this evo fan has finally had enough

Man that 1500 miles is going to cost you about 5-6k. What is so wrong and why can they not fix it? Take is somewhere else, call mitsu, go lemon.

They just blow me off. If I try to get something fixed they play the "abuse" card. I just don't have time for it anymore.

Sounds like a lemon. I am surprised that you can not do anything through mistu to get your money back or at least a new car

Clearly you got a lemon. For someone who is so ****, I'm surprised you won't pursue it. Drive someone elses Evo, you'll see what you are missing.
