Jeep SRT8's and Trailblazer SS' are not going to be any cheaper than your evo.....
Nor can they tow unless you get a custom hitch installed, I think.
Not to mention they get maybe 12mpg?
A V8 RX-7 will be a great family car. LOL
The idea of selling the Evo seems to be very flawed. You'll either get a RX-7 thats way less practical, breaks more often, and requires a lot more maintenance, or you'll get some big powerful SUV that requires an on-call tanker to drive around town.

...not to mention you have a 4 door, so not like strapping kids in the rear is that hard. Want something more "practical" get yourself a damn stratus. Otherwise, your kids will love you more if you keep this car.

Are you 100% sure the issue is fixed? Get re-tuned and just enjoy the car man! Evo > SRT8 and > RX7 IMHO.

They are about the same in cost. I have seen them as cheap as $19K and I did say I would have some bill payed off buy sell it. All I want is to have is a car and house payment and there mpg is not that bad.

I know that no one knows this but I HAVE NOT DRIVEN MY CAR FOR MORE THEN A WEEK cent's I have own it. All I have been doing is fixing it so that in is self make me mad for buying this evo. I got burned on it. Thats why I was thinking of sell it. If I did a rx7 again it would not be my DD and it would not have the rotary in it. My old lt1 fc was the most reliable I have ever had.

1. Don't buy POS hack-jobs.
2. Actually fix it properly or pay someone to who knows what they're doing.
Evos can be very reliable daily-drivers if you just take the time do stuff right.

All that the guy side to me is that it had a little oil leak and that He did know were it was coming from that's why I got a good deal on it. The oil was coming from the oil pump and then I had to fix other thing that I DON"T KNOW ABOUT. I need to stop buying other people POS the last two car I have had I had to put a lot of money in to. I really like my car but with me putting all this money in to it make me mad. You shouldn't have to put almost $1500 in to car you just got. My thing is that I trust people way to much.

The trailblazer SS and Jeep SRT8 suck at mpg....
SS comes in at 13 city 16 hwy...
SRT8 comes in a 11 city and 14 hwy....

Yep, I was about right on for MPG. I dont see a benefit for getting a "fast" suv, they are useless. Put your car back to stockish, reliable mode and drive it daily like everyone else with evos do on here.
And is anyone else having trouble reading anything that the OP types? lol

Sounds to me like you bought a used car... Not a brand new one that doesnt need all the maintainance that a used car would.. I've stuck so much money into my eclipse that I got 4 years ago and am still keeping it up and moving with no plans on selling it.
I say, you put alot of money into your car and it would be a waste for you to do so then sell it right away without even enjoying the car for what it is when your finished.. Just my .02

Sorry if this sounds like I am being a dick. So you got your car for the gas mileage and not because its a evo.
