For a 2008 with 42K miles on it, $28 is pretty high. Like everyone else is saying, you can buy a new one for a few grand more. I saw a couple local to me selling brand new for a round $32K but mind you there are a base model i believe. My buddy just bought a 2012 OB SSL GSR for $36K out the door. I would take your time and shop around a little bit. There are deals out there

Whats a DRL bypass? The Base model does not have DRL's

Thanks for all the info. I thought $28k sounded high as well.

It seems to me the trunk in the 2008 is VERY small. I would love to put a subwoofer and some amps back there and it seems as if it would take up the whole trunk. I need to have enough space for a stroller back there. I will also be using the back seats for 2 car seats...

Same size trunk in the new ones. Nothing changed in that department.

I believe the Ralliarts have a larger trunk.

Evo's come with trunks? Could of fooled my my eclipses had larger trunks it seemed like.

Also while I vastly prefer all the options of the higher trims of the evo i'd hands down get a GSR because paddle shifting is a no go for me.

Im also a douche on 1 thing. I will never buy a car without a sunroof and rarely will I get a car without leather unless it simply wasnt an option on that car.
