Hey guys, I was thinking about selling my rsx-s to get an evo. So, my question is would you guys reccommend getting a used evolution or is that too risky?

 

i had the same question if you can afford new go new, but otherwise a used evo is better than no evo

 

Buy it used its OK.

 

get a carfax report. call a mitsu dealer and give them the vin# to make sure that car hasnt had it's warranty voided due to Mods. last but not least, take it to a mechanic. if it passes all these tests, you're good to go.

 

what year is your type-s? and where are you located?

 

i see chicago now..sorry.. but ya what year is it and how many miles u got on it?

 

I traded in my 2002 RSX-S for a new 2003 evo and have been lovin it ever since!
=)

 

I don't recommend getting a used unless you don't care about the warranty/reliability, or if you're using it as a race car.

Otherwise, just get a new car. If you can't afford one the fancy ones, get a new RS for less money. Just make sure they don't joyride the car before delivery.

 

pay a mechanic to test it out first before you buy it and carfax it.

 

lol chicago? I live in fresno, california. It's an '02 SSM Type S with 15k miles on it. ^^

and thanks for the replies...I am looking into it. hehe

 

what color are you looking for

a customer wants to sell his and he kept in perfect shape he has about 10,000 miles on it. the color is silver. PM me if you are inteseted

 

i bought a used one from the mercedes dealer they got it one a trade 1500 8 months ago 24999

 

I would have the PPI done by your local dealer (assuming the VIN check comes out OK). If a problem were to subsequently arise then they will have a hard time refusing warrantee work.

i.e. they wont be able to give you BS that it was obviously modded before you bought it.

 

lol sorry i looked at the 2nd posters addy it said chicago 15 k is so low for an 02 rsx-s thats crazy that you wanna get rid of it already..you dont like it anymore or what? you must have taken great care of her to put only 15 k on her in 3 years...i was thinking of picking up an 05 rsx-s in the orange color..i test drove one...it's fun and rides smooth as butter in every aspect..have you had a chance to test an 05? if so how did you think it compared to your 02?

 

actually hehe, I bought it used from this girl at about 13k miles. From what I hear from others an their 05s, they love it. But personally I haven't had a chance to test drive one. My opinion on the 05s is that they are a great deal because they come with a bunch of type r stuff that that 02-04 you have to buy extra. All in all, good choice! heh btw you own an evo?
