I got a $17k CDN trade in value for my car. Which i'm quite happy about.

 

I put my 2004 srt-4 with 93k miles back to stock and traded it in. The dealer gave me $7700.

 

loaded 2004 ralliart with a bit under 45k miles on it. Had some work done to improve handling and performance, but needed some minor body work. I got $7k for it and I couldn't be happier Only regret is that I was too lazy to take off some of the aftermarket stuff to resell.

 

I traded in my 1989 Toyota Camry, with 330,000 miles on it. $300. I regret the total $/mile I could get. I could pile miles on that old beast without much dough. Needed a clutch so badly I could slip it in any gear if I pressed on the engine. 30mpg was routine so I miss that part of TCO.

I would have kept the car if the wife had agreed. Total insurance went DOWN when I moved from Farmers to Esurance.

Regrets? Tires wear faster at higher g's. LOL

 

p.s. Love the thread revival. I might have used it during my decision making process. Over a year ago!

Best thing that ever happened, deciding to buy that expensive Evo. Who wouldn't love it once they drove it a few weeks????????????????????? Months??????????????????????
YEARS???????????????????????????????????????????

 

05 scion tc for Evo x, regrets? none until now that i need tires & clutch at 12k

 

lol that just means you suck at driving

 

soon to sell my Ti Gray Mazda RX8 for a GG evo X =]

 

If your OEM tires last 12k, that might be right. Mine have 8500 on them in storage, might be able to squeeze another track day, might not. Normal street driving they have less than 1000, more like 500miles left.

And if your clutch doesn't last a lot longer than 12k, that might also be right. The clutch ought to last you to 25k easily, even with pretty aggressive driving. But the clutch can be made to 'smoke' pretty easily I admit. Just don't. It sure ain't asbestos based, that much my nose tells me. The thing is an exotic material, and I'm sure VERY EXPENSIVE. Don't smoke clutches (The surgeon general has determined that its bad for your health -- your wife may kill you for spending money like that unnecessarily)

 

 

sold my G35TT with 550whp to get the X MR...trying to figure out a way to get the power back without blowing the trans lol

 

I traded in an '04 Accord. I used to have an S2000 and wanted another but it's just not practical. My wife told me I could get whatever I wanted as long as it had a backseat, so now I have the best of both worlds with the Evo

 

traded in my 2008 ram...not many regrets b/c i hate american vehicles and the wife talked me into getting the dodge, but i miss the use of a truck...car has 8k miles and needs tires, brakes squeek, transmission shifts like crap and Mitsu pretty much just laughs about it...and from what i read im waiting for my clutch to go soon. I love the car but for 40k$ i am disappointed. this is my first and last new mitsubishi thanks to their ****ty service..buy a 12k$ corolla and toyota calls YOU to bring it in for service..sorry to vent but the whole transmission problems i have pisses me off with mistubishi...back on topic!

 

It's stories like this that make me not want to get a X.....I'll just keep my VIII. Sucks they won't fix your car.

 

thanks...it would be different if mitsu was willing to try and fix the problem but their not...so i'm goin to court. i was told not to buy a bmw b/c they are expensive to work on??umm..yeah maybe 15 years down the road not 8k miles... oh well, just another lesson learned!!! ..|.., mitsu!!
