this has gotten off topic for sure. The only car I would consider, other than the Evo, would be the focus rs...I'm not much of a hatch guy myself, so that is probably out. Also....I'm sorry to anyone who likes them, to each his own, but you wouldn't find me dead in an STI. I don't need to be convinced, I don't care if they can do this or that. I am an Evo guy. Also, waiting a year isn't going to make my budget go up...I feel comfortable at a certain price point, and even if I wait and save (have been waiting for over 2 years, more if you count how long it's been my dream car)...I'm just going to put more money down

Discussing the cost of an Evo X along with the pluses and minuses of considering other options, in a thread where you are still on the fence regarding deciding is off topic?

I didn't realize your focus was narrowed down to only an Evo, no matter what. In that case, you're in the right place. We're all Evo nuts her e.
LOL

Ok, if you are set on an Evo, then lets decide which one.

Approx how many miles a year do you commute? The X makes a better DD, but even it isnt a "good" commuter. Are you willing to leave the Evo in the garage most days and daily a beater?

I work from home. Decided on the X. I will get a cheap VIII if I want to have some more fun. I'm just looking for an upgrade from my Lancer, and I think the X is the best value for right now, especially in my area (cleveland)

Nice! Seeing how i have a IX already, I'd really like a X to daily. But.. my Civic is just so reliable and cheap to maintain LOL

Shop around and see if you can get a deal on a Final Edition. There are a few people that report getting them for below MSRP.

If 30k is acceptable go get a new one. They can be had for 32 or so before tax fairly easy

Ten = better suited for daily driving and long road trips as it's quieter and a bit more comfortable. In stock form of course.

VIII and IX's = dedicated track weapon build. Not to say that X ain't. It's a weight issue.

Where are you getting those numbers from? 30k for 5 years at 3% is over 550 a month, plus taxes and fees add another 20-40.

You are right I forgot to refresh. But the higher monthly amount only further proves my point that he could save 5-8K in a year of not having to make those payments.
