Curious what people were getting for trade in on their 03's.

Mine has 29k, sunroof, and the infinity stereo, no dents or dings, factory warranty until 36k.

I've driven plenty of my friends IX's and yeah.. I want

 

No dents or dings minus the curb that snuck up on you and broke your right rear suspension.

 

Thats why it would be traded in..

 

Good luck man. Hope you can get into a 9. They're awesome.

 

I know.. everything just feels tighter on them.. like they took all the little issues out of the 8 and resolved them.

 

im guessing you could get around 23 on a trade.

 

Thats exactly the number I'm looking for. With what I owe + trade my payment should only go up 50 bucks a month.

 

23k? really? Then I should get more on my car (03, 11,500miles, bone stock, under warranty)

 

If I do end up getting a good trade in and getting an IX, would anyone be interested in a rally red jdm rear bumper and jdm evo 7 tails? Just need your stockers + cash. Obviously need a red bumper to put back on.

$300 for bumper swap

$150 for tail light swap.

 

orly?

 

Ray, it's either GG or EB

I want to sackride you and ken

 

What finally drove you to it? And bring on the riding of the sack!

 

Uhh.. come over and drive my evo 8 sometime and you'll see

 

Here goes my opinion and you know what they say about those....I owned a 03 8 and now own a 06 9. I didn't see it as upgrading at all. I basically bought the 9 since I sold my 8 after a year because my wife and I were expecting child #2 and we needed the money. Now after saving, I bought a 9 last October. To say the 9 feels tighter, I would have to dissagree. Maybe it feels tighter because it hasn't been screwed with yet. Many guys and gals get the car, start putting in electronics and stuff and once you start loosening stuff up, suspension parts ect, its just not the same. Personally, if you owe lets say 23K on an 8 and your willing to spend 32K on a 9, I think that is kinda silly. The 9 would not justify the almost 10K difference you would have. Make sense? Its not 10K better. I also here you saying my friends have "plenty" of 9's. I wonder where this is, I know in southern california anyway, the high volume dealers are lucky to get 1 car a month, so where are they getting them? haha. Must have rich friends too wow! But don't be discouraged because you have a 8 and they have 9's, its not "keeping up with the Jones's" here. Performance wise, they are very close. A tenth here, a tenth there makes a world of difference on the track, but not in daily driving as I am sure you do. Its up to you, I love the 9 as I did the 8. I don't like one better than the other and since you only owe like 23-24K on the car, it makes no sense to get deeper in debt. Especially since the 8 is a very good car. Just my opinion. Keep the 8.

 

Buy a 9, i drove both and the 9 blew the 8 away in my opinion so...its your choice though but alos be smart with you money to much debt can hurt people
