Hey buddy! Well, I'm 15 and my parent actually just decided to get me a car now as a surprise for my B-Day... I'm a lucky guy, I've loved cars since I was 4 and I was looking at a Lancer GTS, or an old Evo 8. But my parents surprised me w/ an 09 Lancer Ralliart... It's amazing, it's nice b/c it's auto, but I can also do the little switch to manual if I'd like w/o the clutch. It's extremely safe, and all around an amazing car, so in my opinion, Ralliart all the way.... It's amazing! Lol

P.S.
Welcome to the forums Jack!

 

first off...19'd

second, lots of things wrong with this statement you just got your license and you want a bmw like MAD........not nicely, but MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD yo.... Ok, that was mistake number 1. Then you got some "brains" and say you will downgrade to an evo that you want to spend around low to mid 20's for. Good luck with that, MAYBE you can find a used evo with low miles that hasn't been beaten to crap for that cash. Knowing how to tear down and rebuild a go-ped motor in no way will prepare you for an evo. All that is saying is your very mechanically inclined and you have an idea of things you can do with your life.

Ok several things wrong with this statement. First, you only plan to have two years with a car and then your going to college???? what are you going to do with the car? do you plan on going to a good college? HOw are you getting to college? are you paying for it or your parents? IF you have 22k to spend on a car and it is your first car why dont you man up, stop worrying about what others think and buy a beater and use the rest of that money to pay for school.

Second, what is this whipping a car your talking about???? Is that the terminology you kids use today for crashing? If so that is something not to brag about, and saying you crashed a car before you had your license and wanting another fast car just spells out darwin award.

Ok now your starting to think.......yes buy a beater, learn how to drive, then get the car you originally wanted, thta's a good decision. But a slight miscalculation on your part. Most mitsu dealerships that i know of, dont really have cheap beaters. They have cars ranging from 10k and up, dealerships are supposed to have standards in the cars they sell so they need to have their cars in somewhat mechanically sound working order. Beaters are the cars you buy off friends, penny savers, or the little mom and pop's used car dealership where they will finance just about anybody no matter if you stabbed your irs agent for coming to your house.

YAYYYYYYYYYYYY you got smart!!!!! congrats!!! welcome to the surviving gene pool

L....M....A....O dude, a beater for 10-15k???? taht's not a beater, for a lot of people out there that is their daily driver to get them to work. Unless your loaded with cash, or mommy and daddy dont mind paying for your mistakes then that is only chump change... a beater is a car ....lesl than 5k, already has problems with it, but you just want a car cause it's your first car. And you dont want to learn to drive stick cause you will risk crashing your beater? Come on dude, that's what a beater is......it's a car you can just demolish and not care because in the end you will learn how to drive stick, how to drive a car, get some experience behind the wheel, know more or less how the traffic flowsi n your area, and if your scared about crashing your beater care then what the hell are you gonna do with a 30k evo??? just gaze up it in the parking lot??? man i thought you were getting smart

Ohhhhh lets hope if you get the evo, you will graduate

FINALLY!!!!!! yayyyyyyyyy unravel the red carpet, spread the velvet rope, young grasshopper is making some common sense

Your very welcome munchkin


Oh no.....just when i thought you couldn't do any thing dumber, you actually called car lots for this? The guy who told you to come in and see what you could do, in fact really is going to club you when you walk int he office, take you to the back , unleash the gimp and do you what they did in pulp fiction....seriously??? just buy a beater, beat the **** out of it .. have some FUN while doing it....cause that's what beaters are for, and then man up and buy your evo or use that money for school

 

the audi is a great sports car but the roblem with that car is similiar wit the clutch in an evo, except its the electrical system. Believe me i looked at those and loved the v8 and the handling is great but when something as simple as a window actuator goes out its just as much as replacing the clutch on an evo. So i say japanese cars ftw. dont get me wrong I love german engineering, my dad has an e63 and its amazing I just think japanese cars from an all around persppective have better reliability whether it be the engine or electrical system.

 

@Dick Morgan/Sticky Wolf. THANK YOU SO MUCH. Seriously. You honestly just made me laugh for 3 minutes...
I love how people get so emotional on this site...
I guess I should get a beater, but once I buy a 5k beater, how the **** am I going to make 5k back without a job?
when you think of something get back at me

@04EBevo- I love Audis, I love their looks and style. I honestly have never heard of terrible quality problems/reliability issues with Audi...
I have a Consumer report thingy and the Audi A4 is a top 3 luxury sedan, I don't think the S4 could be that far off since it's an upgrade of the A4...

 

Hey jack i also wanted an evo and i am currently 19 and have my evo. I learned to drive stick in a 90 AWD Eagle Talon TSI. You can find amazing deals on dsmsource.com for talons for like 2,500-4000 for stock with low miles. Its still a turbo car and awd and you can learn how to drive stick and not have to worry that much about it. The cars also sell very easy on the site i sold mine in 3 days and then went and picked up my evo from NJ.

 

i just signed up for the site... do you think I could find one easily in NJ?

 

Yes theres a lot out there just take some time and look. Make sure you test drive the car and look at it before you buy them though.

 

how do you get 20,000 to spend on a car as a junior in high school

 

k thanks dsm...
mullski- its not buying stupid **** and lifeguarding for 2 summers and 10k from my Gma.. love her lol

 

haha you better give her a big hug

 

haha trust me, I have.

 

Why don't you go to work and earn something that you own

 

hehe well dude i didnt know that much about manual before getting my car, i jut had my grandpa beside me teaching me. but i never broke my clutch or anything, i dont think i woulda have anyway, cause its just stalling and stalling its not burning it.
i was in a walmart parking lot when i learnt, the take off is the hardest i would always stall or give it way too much gas lol (tank was empty at the end of the day) and i had huge boots on( couldnt even feel the pedals right lol and i wasnt too happy! but thats how we learn, everybody learns someday i dont think you will ever break a cluth if you know the processus of shifting.
but if i were you id soooooooooo want a car for the money i have, i understand that you have alot but i did too its just that i thought about just starting my life with a baby evo and saving for university
but are you really in Mitsubishi or its just about some fast cars?!

 

+1 for extremely long post that I actually read lol

 

@Jehuty- I did work for 50% of that money.

@Cedes- I love mitus, I know it's hard to say since I have only gotten to really know about them for 3 months, but I am sure as soon as I drive one I will want it as my child.

@Lumpy- add me on live
