got the UR tb and tune with some new sneakers and wheels. doing around 250 to the wheels, but im stopping it there. I don't see the point in modding a car if im planning on getting the evo instead. dont get me wrong i love my ralliart, but ive been drooling over this car for a while.

 

do it youre going to love it, but make you sure you have the money from maintenance, cuz when **** goes wrong its a lot

 

If you want another car loan go get an evo. If you don't want any more car payments best is to keep your RA. That is the smartest way to do it kid.

 

and i say again keep the RA pay it off since you only have 5 months then go get a EVO dont see the problem with that?

 

Sell it privately.

With so little left owing on the RA, it makes no sense to trade it in. Even selling at a low-ball price should net you a few more G's

 

Hi
Well I made the same choise as you but I never realy wanted it I was pushed into the ralliart.
I put 3000 down on a used evo 8 that after 2 days started to over heat so took it back and said ok well lets try the x instead since when I first went in they were pushing we to the x but I did not want the new car payments.
Then when I took the 8 back for the x they said I was not able to get it because of some reason about being upside down now or my credit score drop because of the 8 and I had to pay another fee for them because i drove the 8 off the lot.
Any needless to say I stuck with it till I got my 2011 gsr and it is great but I was working some numbers for you.
Your year with i am guessing 30000 or less top value on kelly blue book is 18,100 and at the lowest 15,150.
So lets say the dealer gives you around 15,000 to 17,500 you will only be paying for 18,500 if you can get a x for around 36,00 with tt&L.
So looking at paying around 18,500 to 20,000 for a 2012 evo x gsr is not bad at all the payments would be like 250 to 400 a month or less thats pretty good deal.

I mean I am paying 700 a month for my 11 gsr and I have twin boys under 2 years to buy baby stuff for and I still come out with 300 to 400 a month to buy upgrades.

So I would do it try to sell privet for 19,000 to 21,000 but most people would rather get brand new since it is not that much more. I had trouble selling the sport back so swap for the new x.

Any way I hope it works out for you lifes short so get the things you want.

 

I made a similar jump from GTS to Evo and as others have said you won't regret the move.
