03 VIII or IX
I wouldn't bet on Mitsu, they don't necessary make their car better over time.
Haha, the problem is that I started to budget last summer for the VIII, then times changed, and I can now afford the IX, I'm like 80/20 toward the IX, just wanted to really see what people thought who have encountered both. This has been very helpful.
Ok, not really a newbie, but just looking for opinions, and I know for me it will come down the test drive of each one. My options.... an 03 TB with 11,000 miles with exhaust and BOV, from a family friend, treats it good, so I believe for $22K.... OR a WW IX, 11,000 miles, tinted windows, 3M, SSL w/ HIDs from an unknown which I've been emailing, says he broke it properly, treats it like a baby, selling to get more money for a house, for 27500, probably $27K, no aftermarket to engine or exhaust. Is the extra money worth it for MIVEC and SSL?? I'm leaning toward the IX, but please tell me what you think, and I'd appreciate non-smarta$$ answers please, thank you!
PS-I'm test driving both this weekend...

go with the IX.
I would say keep looking for a IX w/o SSL, but it wont get much cheaper.
You could always swap SSL interior for stock plus cash and you'll be much happier with the 9.
You'll waste your time and money upgrading the 8 to have 9 parts anyway
