currently in a 10 Lancer, should i start putting time and money it or should I just get an Evo

 

i think you should just get the evo after all the money you will still in the lancer you would be able to buy one

 

ditch it, buy and EVO and be done with it.

 

what would be a fair amount to add in trade for an 08 evo
mine is 10 Lancer ES
29k miles

 

Do whatever makes you happy! An Evo will put a huge smile on your face for sure

 

Evo for sure. Never understood why people buy a lancer and mod it all up.

 

Dump it and get an evo or you'll just be dumping your money.

 

yeah thats the conclusion i have come to. i got it because i didnt have deep enough pockets at the time to get the evo i wanted. + im driving 20,000+ miles a year so went with the lancer to save a little on gas.

 

Can start here to look up values for cars:

www.edmunds.com

yeah i know values are rough on the lancer but maybe i can find someone on her to trade if i can have cash to add in hand.

 

Put 10,000 in upgrades into your lancer, and then look back with regret knowing that you could have just bought an Evo

 

This is funny cuz my friend just traded his Lancer in for an Evo a few weeks ago. He's very happy. Like a new world

 

I think I'm in the same boat. Just outta curiosity what year were both and how much did he add

 

Its not that simple of an argument. A lot of people that modify evos put so much money into them that they could have bought a GTR that they previously thought they couldn't afford had they just saved all that money and waited (of course this is assuming that they would want a GTR in the first place but its just an example for argument's sake). But does that mean they should have bought a GTR? No. Theres a difference between cash now and cash youre able to earn over time. You may be able to afford the car payment on an evo (or a GTR) but doesn't mean you can afford to maintain it much less modify it. And everyone who owns an evo knows that it all adds up fast.

 

Keep the Lancer as a DD and buy an Evo when you can for a race car.
