I could. I mean, it's not like the price is going to change..least not that I would think. Another thought I have running through my head..briefly..was selling the Evo...buying Zach B's Spyder GSX...and taking the remainder of the money and putting that huge chunk towards what I still owe..leaving me with practically oweing very little...but that is just one of them "eh" ideas....

And i promise you, I am not a X hater... I've just observed some serious final build quality issues as well as fit and finish on the interior and exterior...
Again..I could...but considering my job, it's not like stupid little crap is a big deal. I mean, what, my e-brake handle comes off..so I have to drive to work with it...lol Regardless..my current Evo has to go soon. Doing some research, I see that these cars REALLY start to depreciate more once you hit that 75K mark..and I'm at just under 72k

Bill, I really think this would not be a bad idea at all! That car is absolutely gorgeous! The only thing is, you would need to keep it just as clean or be hung! Not having to carry over your loan from the Evo to another car would be key as well. I say that would be the better option!

BTW, we are talking about a '97 GS-T Spyder converted to AWD. The thing is so clean, you could eat off it! And the mod list is about 2 pages long

I'm slightly pondering it. I have always had a thing for GS-T Spyders..nevermind a GSX one that looks like that one. The clean part would not be that hard. Regardless what car I decide to go with, that or the X, heck, even I kept my Evo...I plan on buying a "beater" in the next month or so, so it's not like the car will see much "action".

As for the $$$$...well..if I get close to what I want for the Evo..buy his car..it would leave me with like $4k-$5k left on my note. I had never planned on using my Evo as a trade in. Given what is left on the note, and what they were offering me...it would have only given me a mesely $2k towards the X .

yeah i was thinking about this...

i think im just gunna do an oil change the week before if i'm "close" to needing one.

what pads r u getting paul? are you doing SS brake lines?

i really wanna do SS clutch/pill removal, SS brakes, pads, fluid flush. maybe if i'm super nice to davids and turcos they will help me! for pads i was thinking hawks or those ferrodos, but i think the ferrodos are $$$

ekk ferodo's are 2x the price of the hawk HPSs...

Paul, i'm probably going to go with girodisc stage 2, either magic pads or axxis. Ferrodos are nice, but may have too much bite for the street, and the brake dust = the pits!
