I went to Satan today; Fred Beans in Doylestown to "look at" (not buy) the 4gen eclipse, but their shipment didn't arrive yet. So of course a salesman tries to sell me something else. I told him I would consider an evo 9. To my supprise they let me test drive an Evo (silver, gsr) Now my GSX is basically stock, "yeah I know" plus it is an automatic and the evo's power was rediculous in comparison, the evo pulled, handled and brakes so much better. (again comparing to stock)
My gsx has 29,000 miles, garage keeped, emission exempt (I drive 3000 miles a year), no mods other than a K&N, and F/R strut braces. The Manager offered $10,000 max for trade (he wants it for himself and not the dealership) I was offered more by my friends brother but the manager said he'd sell me the car at invoice. Does anyone know when evo 9 comes out, the manager told me july but he wasn't sure. So basically I have two months to make a decision.
Things that bothered me about the evo
I don't like the looks of the Evo's interior or the ride though, not because it is rough but it feels cheap!?! (It is hard to explain what I mean by that, I guess it felt like stuff was just about to break)
Did anyone else go from gsx to evo? If so, any regrets
TIA for any feedback
