Splurging as in buying the Evo X...
So I got a very good deal on the Evo X but I have a few questions!
1) The dealer told me Octane Blue will be a 1 year color...is this true? I wouldnt think he would lie to me since he seemed honest and true..

2) Is there only a SMALL difference in insurance from the Evo 9 and X? I got a quote on the 9 and it was like 700 dollars a month..

The Evo X was not that much slower than the 9...He took me around a corner and it blew my mind.

 

1) BS

I believe Evo X is a bit cheaper from what i have read.

 

I also heard that the Octane Blue is only going to be this year. Sam from South Coast Mitsu told me this, when I was considering buying the car from him As far as insurance, mine stayed about the same from my 8 to the X. The car is awesome, you should get it.

 

VIII/IX vs X insurance is the same if not cheaper due to safety enhancements.

1 Year color is complete bullsh*t.

 

Well, all companies do something different.. Show me a US bound yellow evo for 2006 ? ? or a BBY 2006 evo

I wouldnt doubt they do that stuff... And if anyone knows its the dealers.

when i sold mazdas, the RX8 was rare in yellow the first year, then the second year was white and 3rd year was a purple/black color or something...

 

i think thats BS as well. Octane Blue is exclusive to GSR only tho...not to the MR.

Insuring the X is cheaper since it is safer...

 

Thanks for the quick replys..
Yeah I am really ready to buy the car but the insurance is insane! Are the STi's this high too? 700 a month....Im using triple A ...
Hmmmm I doubt Sam would lie...

 

$700 a month?? that is insane! thats $8400 a year, you've got to be kidding.

 

god 700 a month!!!!! do most or all of you pay this much for ur coverage?

 

Yeah it is INSANE....and im in college so maybe thats why..but still lol
What insurance company do you guys use? I cant switch companies right now because I already put money down on my current car for Triple A....
$350 -> $700 Double the insurance LOL Is it worth it?
Seriously ugh.... I heard the STi insurance is cheaper? is there a way around this HUGE insurance jump? My friend drives an STi but somehow uses his volvo wagon as the insruance thing..

 

well damn i'm going on 21, and have liberty mutual mine is mega mega cheap compared to yours.

 

I can tell you that 700 a month for an evo on ins is good enough reason for me not to get it. That is crazy.

 

Maybe its my insurance company, or maybe its my location? Pissing the hell outta me lol

700...
Thats like ferrari status hahah

Im like - THIS CLOSE to buying an Octane blue too... What do I do...

 

the blue is not going away. Next year it may become a special order.

 

How old are you? 16 years old? 700/month seems a bit ridiculous. If the quote stays true with other insurance companies, I would seriously reconsider the purchase.

A fully loaded GSR is going to run around $38k w/ a good deal...with no money down and a decent interest rate on the auto loan, that'll run you $650-$700/month. Would you seriously consider paying just as much just to insure the damn car? I wouldn't.
