So I'm like a month or two away from getting a new evo x, but my friend wants to sell his 06 IX with 9k miles for 26, and he said i get the first offer to buy it.

I cant decide if its worth it to go ahead and get the new one for 34+ or if i should just settle for the slightly used with less payments.

I was planning on getting a white X...
The IX is blue with minor mods like an exhaust and intake and Maybe something done to the computer im not sure....

So do you guys think its worth the money to get something new, seems a lil bigger, with a little nicer ride on the highway? Or go for the faster but older car?

 

what are you looking to do with the car? I personally like newer stuff rather than used. You know what has been done to it. good luck

 

I dont plan on getting to crazy with it. I wanna use it as a dd so i dont wanna void the warranty right away. If i get the X, probably just an intake and exhaust and some wheels or something. Thats about it...

 

While 26k is not the best deal, an Electric Blue IX with 9k is fairly rare. It won't depreciate much. Buy it.

 

get the new evoX

 

I'd buy the 9 hands down.

 

The 9. Why pay 40-50 something on a newer one. This car only has 9k miles and like they said it is rare.

 

I 'd go with the IX if it was around 24k range , new EVOs cost 31-33 range , so that gives me break on the payments and used car is a better option

If the IX is 26 and new X is 31 , not so good, go with the X for 5k more ( its worth buying a new over 2 year old car)

 

IX no brainer

 

IX... tons of aftermarket support, knowledge, and community exist for it while Evo X is still being proven... plus you'll have more money available for mods!!!

 

Id buy X on looks alone. I like the IX when it came out, but I just couldnt deal with the looks. The X just looks better. Plus you can get a X for low 30s brand new. Im sure you are going to get tons of replies on the performance and how ix is better, but X is running 10s on stock turbo after only being out less than a year.

 

what is ur friend gona buy...

 

i think he said something about a hybrid

 

Haha sell out, just go with the IX bro i PROMISE you'll be happy with it. I love mine and there's every part available for it as the other guy said the X is still being proven.

 

I am the friend that has the car. Been a great car and as he knows I really don't want to sale it but my life has changed a bit since I got the car(now have a 8 month son). So looking to get more of a family car and hopefully later on get another sport car.

here is a link of my car running in CA.
