Depending on the miles but when I heard him say it wasen't worth it I looked up the value on my 04 w/ 75K, kbb said 8.5K. I can't believe he would turbo a car with tons of miles. I'm still sad about this.

I kbb'd my car with 90k and in perfect condition for 6000. It was covered in scratches. I'm accepting the loss and finding something better. Yeah gas on a V8 would be horrible, but I'll be ok.

I'm wondering why you only seem to be looking at one car to replace the Lancer with?

Well I've been wanting that car. My other options were some cheap little car like a 240 or VW. I kind of need something that won't tempt me to modify it since my money will need to go elsewhere. So I figure I'll start with a car that has half the miles as the Lancer, costs the same as when the lancer was new, is sort of rare, luxurious on the inside and has an already fast motor.

lol yeah but I was planning on one with an RB or SR swap already done. But then again I'd feel better if I were the one that did or oversaw the swap lol. I am looking at new cars, but nothing really sparks my interest cause it would just be another economy car like the corolla or fit or something.

Don't get the Fit. It's just as slow as the Lancer! If you are thinking about it though, get a billet front grille and powdercoat it black. Avoid the "road hazard, not covered underwarranty, 900 dollars to fix" headache that my girlfriend almost fell for.

lol thanks. Yeah I can't find a car in that price range that would be any better than those. I don't really want to get the Lancer. They are nice but for all the options I would want to make it nice would take it out of my price range.

I meant like 160,000+ miles because he said his value was low. So I was just guessing he had a lot of miles on it.
