LOL' I wonder where I fit in? I put 54k on my car in a little over 2 years

 

the economy

 

+1

 

bump for price drop

 

ah, just mod it. The evo is great, but not if you have so much negative equity.

 

i don't have negative equity...

 

either way you will get up-side-down.

 

no i won't, i'll still be "right side up", i don't owe much on my car. but either way, i'm not willing to add more than 5k on top of my car for an evo. so if i cant find anything and /or sell it, i'll just keep it.

 

well, imo what they offer for the 350 is low. After 1 year the price is almost 40% down.

 

Im lost in all this Car business Terminology

What the heck is

"negative equity", "upside-down", and "right-side-up" mean

 

its not really proper terminology, iguess we just used these for lack of better terms

negative equity is basically if i still owed more on my car loan than what the car is worth, upside down is the same thing

right side up is your car's value being more than what you still have to pay off.

 

as warmmilk said we pretty much improvise as we use these terms.
However, i still think that you lose either way.

 

I think if you attempt to go to a dealership you'll end up spending around $6500 more for an Evo 9. The reason is being there are only a handful (literally) of available Evo 9 locally (including OR and ID) so you're gonna end up spending around $26500 for a standard (GSR) Evo with low mileage. You'll get around $21k for the Z in trade-in and then there's the tax different so like I say, $6k to $6.5 is more realistic.

The best scenerio is if you can sell the Z and then get the Evo, that way you'll definitely hit your $5k difference mark,no questions about it - if you can locate that stock Evo 9 with low mileage somewhere in the NW.

Btw have you looked at these?

if i sell the z, i don't mind going anywhere in the country to get an evo, that would be the prefered way to do it cause i'll save the most money like that. but nobody is buying the z... stupid economy

 

EVO's are everywhere. Just by driving along 99 north of seattle i have seen a lot in the past couple of days. There is an MR being advertised for 28,999 in Walker's subaru in Renton. The fact is as warmmilk said that people are not looking really for cars like ours(Evo's or Z's). Of course there are a lot more Z's out there then Evo's. However, the dealer would not offer more than 20k. It is really good time to get a car if you dont have one, but to sell and get one ah, forget it. Just like the house market.

 

1. they wanted 10k on top of my car
2. must be new, i'll check it out, thanks
3. must be new, i'll check it out, price is really good on this one.
4. he's not intrested in trading for a z

thanks

 

There are PLENTY of Evos for sale locally. 8's and 9's. My friend has been trying to talk me into one for a Winter daily driver, so he's been sending me links here and there.

 

pass the links of all the 9's over here

... if u don't want it...

 

There is definitely not *a lot* of Evo 9 (or 8s for that matter). There were the 4 I posted there locally, that's it. Evos are rarer cars, in 2006 - the last 4g63 Evos they only produced a total of 5 thousand cars.
