Major Changes? 2010 vs 2008 MR

I've looked but I can't seem to find a break down of the difference between the 2008 and 2010 EVO MR. What are the differences if any? I need to make a decision whether to move on a low mile 2008 tonight.

Thanks,
Nick

How much is the 08? 2010 is going to cost A LOT.. there isn't a big difference... nicer display, tail lights are a little different. There is a sunroof option if you want to pay 40k.

Thanks guys. Yeah there is a huge price difference. I'd say that probably matters most (along with being on a flatter portion of the depreciation curve). The LCD display sounds nice -oh well. If there are no performance/reliability differences I think I'll go with the 2008.

Definitely go for a 2010. the car has been sitting for almost 2 years, and potential problems of an undriven car significantly increase for such a long duration of time. If I were you I do not mind paying 3-5k more for a car that is new from the factory.

Considering how long the warranty lasts for most people, grabbing a deal on a low-mileage `08 sounds like a good move.

It's a lot more than that. You can pick up an `08 with a couple thousands miles on it for upper 20's.

Your crazy, 08's are around 28K still. At the dealer the 2010's are 29,995 for a base model gsr. I would 100% pay extra for the brand new one. I know you get a different lcd center display.
