Take the advice from someone that bought a low mileage used evo, that 5k will be needed to fix something shortly after you purchase the evo.

Totally not trying to be a Debbie downer just trying to help a guy out.

Congrats on the wedding.

Doubt they'll hold it for three weeks.

It's like an hour or so from my house, and I never have any free time.

Things will work themselves out.

Even though I prefer WW, that's all you see here in Chicago. MG resembles my DGM Rex.

Figure I'll have room to haggle since I'll be trading a Subaru into a Subaru Dealership.

Appreciate it.

I've got a guaranteed $2500 in Bonuses coming in a couple months, so I can stash that to the side for maintenance.

Issue is, I burn through cars on a yearly basis, and even though I plan on keeping an X "forever", every time I trade, I end up eating the negative equity because I never put anything down.

You sound just like my buddy who I have seen do this with about 7 cars now.

Good luck on the hunt for the evo X.

FA5 was an Si Sedan.
FG2 was an Si Coupe.

Things become habit when lurking forums. Doubt I'm the only one using acronyms or abbreviations.

Bonus Check comes this coming week. Need to figure out if I want an AP, Coils, or Do Luck Trunk.

Dropped the car off at Glenview Mitsubishi a couple hours ago for the CMC/Flash Recall, and I feel stupid for not realizing my car's actually Phantom Black instead of Mercury Grey as it was listed.
