Oh, lol. How much is the IX you're looking at?

 

Ouch!!!!!! I dont know if I want to know how you still owe that much with that many miles. See... I only had 1 and 1/2 years left on my payment when I made my decision. I have to say, if I had 5 years left to pay on my car, and I could afford another $100.00 a month, I would take that deal. Good luck!

 

Here is the EVO 9 I am looking at http://www.autotrader.com/fyc/vdp.js...=1&cardist=299

 

Carbon hood, lowered, faggy angled gauges, weak-ish 6 speed. I'm not sure I would be comfortable buying that. I'd look around the forum a bit more to see if there is a not-as-likely-beat-on one in your area or get a new one from South Coast for a few thousand more.

 

Note the "AS IS'". Just double check with Mitsubishi to make sure they did not void the warranty for any reason. Also check your carfax for accidents. If all checks out good, then take a chance and go for it.

 

I have found 3 more at the same price and only 100 miles away.

 

Good. Find an SE and you'll be set.

 

What do you think about this one http://www.autotrader.com/fyc/vdp.js...e=&cardist=105

 

I wouldnt go trade up for another used car ...
u r going to take some risk while it is only slightly cheaper than new ...

if u r not getting a new one , my advice is no , you are too itched ....
save up and may get an X or GTR if your car now drives perfectly okay

 

Na, I don't like the way the X looks.

 

I have the feeling that
Max 10% more happier u will be
while 33% chance u will be screwed... =)

buying new will decrease the screw factor by 2/3

 

I bought my 8 used and it is a great car. It has held up to alot of abuse. I am just worried about the trade in value of my EVO 8.

 

I figured you already received your trade value to determine the new payment amount. My advice would be to get your trade value, see how much you have to roll into the new amount to finance, then hit up the forum as to whether you would trade. There are too many variables to make a decision right now. I personally do not think you will get what you need out of your car right now. Even after a part out.... so hopefully you have some cash to fix the possible amount you are upside down in. I used to be a finance manager for Mitsubishi (now a happyy mortgage loan officer). If you need some help in that department, I will do what I can for advice.
