n00b evo8 owner

Hey whats up guys, just thought i woudl introduce myself into the community. I used to own a daytona blur 04 350z but have been wanting to go AWD so i can drive all year round.

it was an 04 z with 17k mile and bald tires and an intake and exhaust and i got the dealer to trade straight with me for an 05 evo8 with 10k miles on it.

i thought i got a pretty good deal, what u guys think??

anyway im in des moines, IA and so far i have had it for a week and i am totally in love with the car. here are some pics so far.

Great trade for you! Sounds like you are happy so far. Miss the Z even a little?

It depends on who the previous owner was on this one. If you've already had clutch problems I know who it was...

Wow, yeah, an 05 Evo is worth much more than an 04 Z. That's an amazing deal. You upgraded your car, got a newer year with less miles and paid nothing extra. That was a major steal unless something is wrong with the Evo that you don't know about.
