So I'm picking up my IX APEX SILVER SSL tomorrow.
 

Hello fellow enthusiasts,

Just a little bit about my situation. I use to be a turbo RSX-s owner. The vehicle was heavily modded and dynoed 429whp at 17psi. However, traction was a huge issue in 1st, 2nd, 3rd gear{thumbdwn} . The frustrations finally reached its limits so I decided to sell her and move on to a stable AWD turbo platform. In comparison, I can say that the RSX has a much better shifter feel and interior layout, but I'm more than willing to sacrifice.

After searching for weeks and haggling with sales reps, i've found a price that satisfied my pockets, $32,600. :D What can I say, the subaru dealership wouldn't give me a test drive. Those discriminating salesmen could've possibly sold me an Sti.:dunno: Their loss, my gain. :lol:

Good job! The IX w/SSL is:

IX MSRP - 31,399
SSL - 3,000
Dest Charge - $595

Total = $35k. So, $2400 under MSRP is great for such a new release.

Congradulations on your purchase. I am in Boca Raton where are you located? Also what dealership did you buy the car from?

Thanks, I couldn't have done it without this forum. https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/sh...d.php?t=171908

I just moved to Altanta and will be purchasing it up here. Just get a hold of a few dealerships and deal with them over the phone so you won't have to argue for hours at the dealership. Remember, the best deals are given at the very end of the month. I just got a better deal than expected.

Just curious here, did you actually get to test drive the car or are you judging based on a stand still run-thru of the gears? Because if you did get to test drive your evo, you're one lucky guy...you'll love the car, welcome to the :mitsu: family {thumbup}

sup, im in marietta just north of atlanta. used to have an VIII just got a gg IX ssl.

Alpharetta in the house! Haha.

I test drove a regular IX without SSL and that was more then enough to convince me. :D
I live around duluth and attend some thursday night meets around GFUDD. Perhaps we could meet up one of these nights.

Congrats u love it !

Congratulations!!!
Just picked up mine last week. :D

Always wanted to move back to ATL...

Enjoy it!

:D :D :D :D :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

I LOVE IT!

wow. another rsx-s owner going to an Evo. i had a black one with i/h/e and k-pro. the only gripes i have about the evo is that (stock at least) there is not enough power off the turbo. The rsx was nice because you had instant throttle response.

everyone kept telling me "turbo lag this" and "turbo lag that" and i didn't care much til i actually had to deal with it.

The turbo lag isn't that bad compared to my previous 60-1 setup and having traction is always a plus.

Not to get technical but the Apex silver is a EVO VIII color, the IX color is now called "cool silver" go figure, your buying the same car I have, hey I can't help it you have good taste, I could of got a STI for about the same money, but the 06 STI is so ugly, I just couldn't do it......Welcome to the world of EVO. Impressive numbers for the Honda by the way.
