Guess what came in the mail for me today? :D

After a long *** two month period, the wait is FINALLY over! I open my mail today and see an envelope from Farmers insurance, inside was a check for a few bucks short of $19,000!

They gave me way more then my car was worth. In a private sale I could have only received a maximum of MAYBE $15.5K because my 06TR has over 55k miles, more dings then a cheap prostitute and and overall pretty abused from really hard driving so you can imagine that I'm VERY excited! Man, being without a car for almost 2 months has taken its toll on me! I need my car fix, I'm def having withdrawals... Now the fun part and I need your help!

My car choices are:


1. EVO IX SE with as low miles as possible.

2. 06-07 WRX STi, again with as low mileage as possible, and it'd have to be a KILLER deal, otherwise I'm not interested in the Subie, the EVO is a much more desirable for me, but the STi is a distant 2nd place.


Does anyone know of any EVO 8 or 9s that can be had for around 22-25k? I was wondering if you guys could help me look for one online and post your results here in this thread.


Like I said, first pick is an EVO in those specific years/models, or something comparable, and in second choice is a pig nose WRX STi. The new STi is out of the question. I'd like the new body style EVO X, but I just can't afford a brand new one at the moment.


So please, please, PLEASE help me find my new baby! I'll love you forever! I'm going through car withdrawals and I need my fix!!!


Thanks!

do u absolutely need a newer car at the moment? Why not buy something cheap and reliable and save up until you can buy the EVO X, or a 09 STi

honestly, daniel, i'd get a new car with an extended warranty (bought online, not at the dealership unless they give you a kickass deal)
evo X's are pretty affordable, and i am sure you can qualify for 0% apr and pay it off in 5 years.

1. I don't want an new STi

2. Still not sure about the evo X... Ive been in love with the 9 since it came out

3. Its like telling a drug addict to hold off on the drugs until later, its just not gonna happen.

How much do you think I can get a 5speed EVO X for? I don't want to make payments, I just want to throw down a big wad of cash.

32-33 otd maybe.
i feel you on the no payments thing, but the biggest problem for me when i was in the same boat was... wtf am i going to do if my car breaks down? i'm sure you can tweak cars here and there, but the biggest concern for me when i had to get a replacement was reliability and a warranty. its all you though.

The dealership here in FF has the EVO X GSR asking like $31 MSRP... so definitely OTD below that with a good rate right now.

I'd LOVE to have an E46 M3, one of my fav cars to drive, but I'm afraid I couldn't afford one... What kind of E46 do you think I can get for around $25k? Is it possible?
