thinking of selling my car
 

I was thinking of selling my evo 8 for some thing bigger for right now and I could use the extra cash to finish my house and pay some bill off. Then I am looking in to getting a jeep SRT8 or a trailblazer SS when the time come's. I think I might wait till summer to sell it and it's fix now. I plan on going to Db for a retune.

Re: thing of
 

Dont know if you have what was wrong in your other thread you started. But what was your issue?

Re: thing of
 

WOW giving up already? was that even a full year? I love the 7 but you got to keep this too

Re: thing of
 

It was a timing tissue but it's fix now.


I am not giving up I need some thing bigger for my 2 kids. I would like to do a v8 rx7 again or a 4g63 AWD swap in one.

Re: thing of
 

Huh? You want to ditch the evo to get a v8 rx7 because you have 2 kids? :crapper:

Re: thing of
 

So is this a FS ad or are you just discussing the idea of selling your car with others? I'm a bit confused here. I'm also going to change the thread title for now.

Re: thing of
 

No that not what I am saying.
I was thinking of selling it.

Re: thinking of selling my car
 

Please make an actual classified ad if you want to sell the car.

Re: thinking of selling my car
 

Will do if I am selling it.

Re: thinking of selling my car
 

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?

Re: thinking of selling my car
 

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.

Re: thinking of selling my car
 

...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.

Re: thinking of selling my car
 

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

Re: thinking of selling my car
 

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.

I know they would.

Yes Iam 100% sure thats it's fix the tune was do when the timing on the cams were advance by 3 teeth so a new tune should fix the rest.

Re: thinking of selling my car
 

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.

Re: thinking of selling my car
 

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.

Re: thinking of selling my car
 

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....

Sorry to bubble burst

Re: thinking of selling my car
 

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

Re: thinking of selling my car
 

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

Re: thinking of selling my car
 

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.

Sorry but Iam dyslexic it runs in my family.

Re: thinking of selling my car
 

Doesnt sound like your being a dick... just very confusing.....

I posted that information becuase you had posed you didnt think the mpg of a SS or SRT8 would be as bad as previously estimated by A///guy... Just wanted to help inform you that they are as bad as he had estimated.....

And no I didnt buy me evo for the mpg... (have gotten 27mpg though...) I DD my Evo and have had zero issues with it... yes it has a much more stock set up than you but i still have my fun... I Bought my gfs Mini Cooper S as a fun car that still gets great MPG!

I vote get your car tuned and enjoy it for the summer and then see what you think...

Re: thinking of selling my car
 

Thanks for the info on the jeep and the SS. I was thinking that They got better gas mileage then that.

Re: thinking of selling my car
 

Thats just sad man, I'm sorry for you. I've put 60k mostly trouble-free miles on my evo and its been down for a week here or there, but often it was fixed on my schedule, with a bit of hurry to get it done quick.

I say work through the issues and make it a reliable DD. I've always told people to keep it simple and always always put maintenance over modding. 2.3+35R is wicked awesome but the can of worms that can come with it can be a nightmare, which you are in right now. Stock motor + stock frame turbo and a little octane (E85 or alky) can make killer power and be a lot more reliable, but it still can be a nightmare if you aren't careful.

Can't wait to see the new numbers!

Re: thinking of selling my car
 

I wish I would have gotten the other one I was looking at.

Re: thinking of selling my car
 

Just keep on moving. My car has been a huge pain as well. But when im done fixing it and it actually down the road best feeling ever.. $1500 is a lot of money. Ive put about the same amount in it. If you want to sell your car though no one can tell you what to do. Itll be nice if you keep it though. I mean its a EVO. Plus People are happy to help you out if you need any remember that to.

Re: thinking of selling my car
 

i can haz grammer?

I luv Me hookid on fonics!!


Jesus Christ man, you don't type that way on Mnsubaru or mnsc, why bring the the toilet grammar here?

Reading your typing is comparable to trying to decipher what ozzy osbourne is saying while in a drug induced stupor. lol


This car has seemed to overwhelm you from day 1. I say you either bring it to a good shop like DB, and have them straighten it all out, and/or bring it closer to stock. Or 2. Give up and sell it

Re: thinking of selling my car
 

I am at work and I don't want my boss to see me doing this. That why I am ninja typing.

Re: thinking of selling my car
 

Ahhh... the feeling of having the car run after it has been sitting for a couple of years...


http://www.mitsustyle.com/forums/att...7&d=1206942347

DSM people know this feeling well...
Maybe I should include evos now?

Re: thinking of selling my car
 

Ha! That's classic.

Re: thinking of selling my car
 

LMFAO! I love it! So true, but fuk the couple of years thing. If my car is down for a week, or I go on vacation or something, I'm itching to drive it!

Re: thinking of selling my car
 

Not to be mean but you bought a seriously souped up older Evo and assumed there wouldn't be problems? Even brand new cars that are modded to that level can have expensive things go wrong.

There aren't many things on these cars that cost less than $1k to fix. The most reliable car that I ever owned was a Nissan Altima. The most boring car that I've ever owned was that Altima...

Re: thinking of selling my car
 

I agree, you put yourself into that position, its not the car's fault. You bought someone else's hacked together car with no knowledge of what exactly you were buying.

Re: thinking of selling my car
 

That picture is epic. Hahaha it sure feels good! May i ask for permission kracka to show this picture to people that pull the walk crank walk images up lol!

Re: thinking of selling my car
 

LOL do it up.

Re: thinking of selling my car
 

I agree with that feeling, however it sometimes ends with the hood up on the side of the road.....

Re: thinking of selling my car
 

Or when the car breaks down again!! :signs066:

Actually mine runs, kind of. I am just not driving it at the moment.

Re: thinking of selling my car
 

Just remembered this pic Twack did of my car on our way to the 08 Mitsu Cookout:
