Every car needs those parts and maintenance. Switching to a 350z or a S2k is still gunna need attention, nothings going to change. Plus those cars are older, god knows who owned them or what they been through. At least you know where ur car has been for the time u owned it ya know. Either way Good luck with selling it man

trans service is going to be cheaper with an evo compared to the Z and s2k. well thats if u use tre, buschur or shep for any of ur problems. brakes, rotors etc are going to be very close in price.

I had an s2 before the evo. I loved the s2 it was such a nice car. The trans was the best trans I ever had. Then when I got the evo it became my favorite car lol. I think you will seriously miss the evo if you go 350 or s2. But if you really wanna get a new car then get the s2 . I drove a 350 and it feels sluggish and doesn't handle as good as the s2. So basically the s2 is like a evo in handling and the 350 is like a sti. Lol. But since you're from Chicago if you have any parts for sale let me know I'm local Haha.

for the 350z the maint is just as much. Not to mention if you wana go above 400hp you need to rebuild the engine.

GLWS man.... my buddy has a 350 and hates it with a passion, and you will miss the evo, dollar for dollar when it comes to maintainence on the Z the evo is pretty close with it. If you can't afford the evo I wouldn't bother looking at either of those cars.

I might just get an 09 -10 ralliart. And just keep it stock. Maybe intake exhaust boost pill and tune that's it.

just get a civic if you dont want to pay a lot for maintenance. You will hate getting rid of the evo. My buddy has a 350z, its junk and costs more than my evo for all the problems it has...the maintenance might be cheaper but he needs stuff fixed all the time. The early year 350zs have ****ty transmissions too. S2000 is nice but slow and things are going to cost about the same to have done. Sports cars come with big prices no matter who makes it. you may as well keep one of the most reliable ones
