Don't ever sell the SE-R. I've had a ton of cars and my first gen SE-R was one of my favorites and one of the few I'd like to buy again.

Why not go with a Subaru if you've had problems with an Evo in the past?

I bought my Evo 9 MR used for 31k out the door with 17k miles on it and I got 15k for it with 48k miles on it. Evo 8's and 9's are going for cheap now man even very very good conidtion ones too

Just because you no longer have a car payment does not necessarily mean you should take on a new one.

I was thinking that too, but the only STi I would want is an 07 and the prices arnt falling as fast as the Evos are,but maybe they will by then. And I would never ever sell the SE-R unless I had another one waiting for me. even the GC8 RS's are still pulling like 8k for a clean one,and they are slow and fragile cars.

I promised myself I would never do this to myself again, I will deff have a low spending limit for my next purchase. Ill prolly never finance over 15k im hoping by the time I can get one they will be around 12k-13k like the older S2Ks are now. My first plan was to buy a AE86 and do an F20C swap, and I still like that idea but I want a car I can still have fun in the bad weather, I do live in NY lol and put a few people in and still be comfortable. And 240's are cool but eveybody has one these days, that takes all the fun out of it.

Ok well the work day is over and I prolly wont get to look at S2ki for a few hours or maybe till tommrow, but thanks everyone that contributed to my BS lol. and my mind changes like my underwear but the Evo will always be on the back of my mind.

What about an 05+ Legacy GT? You get more room than an STi, it looks better, costs less and with minor mods is just as fast. The major downside is the lack of DCCI or whatever it is called.

i have a bone stock evo 9. i think i own probably 1 of 5 in the world! good luck. it's a decent daily driver. it's noisy, kind of bouncy, the interior is blah, but it goes well.

drives like a tank..maybe compared to an atom, but not compared to an S2000. the steering feel for one is a huge upgrade from the S2k.

Good luck finding an Evo that hasn't been modified. They may say it hasn't but very few are bone stock and have always been bone stock.

-> As for me, I'll take (almost any) secondary car as long as I have 'Silvie' with me. You can give me an old Civic Wagon for all I care.

-> But for a AWD sedan, I prefer the GD STi over the Evo just because its more entertaining to drive. Yeah, yeah I know the Evo is faster compared to the STi; but is the S the fastest roadster in its class? No.

My Fun-to-Drive List (stock)
1. AP2v1 & AP1v2 =TIE=
2. GD WRX STi
3. E46 M3
4. GTO 6.0
5. DB2 GS-R

Evo Gas mileage + my 60 mile commute was one of the reasons I got rid of mine. It was a great car for the ~3years I had it. Good luck finding a bone stock evo 8/9.

id definately buy an evo but wait a little bit after you pay off your s to see how financially stable you are and maybe save for a year and put a down payment on it. also, throw some money into your ser and s2000 cause when you have three cars to mod and a car payment how much money will you be able to put into each one.
