Hey everyone, i recently found a job thats giving me 2k a month. I really love EVOs especially 8-9, and planning on getting one, now i understand theres a lot of procedures in getting a evo from another state, and i dont plan on flying anywhere to get it...basically my question is, if you guys were in my shoes with 2k a month how would you get urself a evo 8 or 9 when no where near you sells it?



so far all i got by myself is getting a bank loan and hopefully find one thats selling from a dealership and have my dealership here ship the car here by paying 12% more...

 

you live in the states, just make a trip out of it and go get one close by. I had to fly 1400 miles to get my car and then ship it back on a barge :P

 

You're in the same boat as me except for 2 things. I make a little more than 2k a month and I'm willing to travel to get mine. Far as I can tell, you'll more than likely have to get a loan. At 25k w/ 8.99% for 72 mo, you'll be at like $450/mo. Insurance will vary but read the insurance thread an you'll get a rough estimate. Also you have to be willing to travel if you can't get one from a dealership, which is a pretty good chance. So save some cash and be patient. I've been looking for about 3 months now and have only found one that I thought I might get into and it's about 300mi from me. GL on your hunt

 

thanks for the replies! and yeah i assumed as much abt the loan.. insurance i checked.. im almost 20 and its abt ... 3000/year for insurance. how much of a trouble is to fly to another state and buy the car and comming back?a quick step by step would be so helpful T_T im a total noob.

btw living in vancouver... someone told me that the older evos are registered in Canada as mitsubishi lancers not evos is that true?

and would you, if u were in my shoes, be in 25k debt when u JUST turned 20? im very un decisive sorry. bare with me lol

thanks

 

Find one at a dealer talk to them offer what you wanna give. At 20 yrs old making 2k a month i wouldnt go more than 20k honestly but thats your call. As far as getting the car, I found one told them what id give and told them to ship it... I got mine from Alabama and i live in Ohio I only paid 450 to get it here... Fairly easy honestly as long as the dealer is willing to put in the effort... Good luck though!

 

+1... it'd be pretty bad off for you to only be 20 and have your debt to income ratio already turned upside down. Especially for a car, an amazing car, but still, lol.

Also, I don't know anything about importing and exporting into or from Canada. If you want to know about Supras and Skylines from Japan though, that's a different story.
