but am i worth spending that much as the new evo 10 is comming out n will drop the prices of all evo's?
i just dont wanna spend that much money n 1 year later they sell for $29,000... i know cars drop in value but evo's can only drop so much...
what use think...

yeh i dunno, the price is gonna go down no matter what, so if ur cashed up and thats what u want..then suck it up and do it. i reckon the JDM models seem better value, dunno how resale will go, but the 6spd alone makes me rather that over an aus model.

I won't partake too much in this thread (ok, just one post :lol since I'm selling mine and I don't want people to think that I'm just trying to sell you mine, but honestly the clutches in these things do go quite quickly.

I think that's where you can tell that to the Japs these are just normal cars. They can actually get 35-40,000km's out of their stock clutches.

A lot of the guys from Aus that purchased Evo 8's and Evo 9's locally were mentioning figured of anywhere between 8,000km's and 20,000km's before their clutch was going! :shock: I'm sure a lot more have been able to milk them as much as possible, but unless you upgrade, it really is a consumable item on a car like this.

I replaced mine when it arrived. Most people I spoke to said that it would go within a month or two of driving it, so I just replaced it at the first opportunity I had rather than let it be a hassle later on down the track.

As mentioned by others, yep I'm selling mine. It's essentially a stock Evo 7 with a heavy duty clutch that gets maintained like it should. PM me/drop me an email/give me a call if you want to.

Personally, if you don't have a preference on look, I'd only ever opt to get a 7, then spend the rest on mods. They are all so closely matched anyway it doesn't seem worth the extra money just for bragging rights.

Good luck with the hunt - they are awesome cars!
