I think it's time

[brendanshort]

I love my HSG, but I think it's time for a newer car.

Travelling to QLD next weekend to inspect and test drive this:

Has anyone seen this out and about in Brisbane or Gold Coast?

Any con's with the IX? I already know all the pros

do yourself a favour and get a 9, even though that has a few mods its on the highside pricewise.

you wont look back if you get one though, they are good enough for most out of the box.

200+kw with just a tune and exhaust...more even, DO EETTTTT

 

[brendanshort]

It is a 9

I'm offering 32k to begin with. Even I think it's too high a price with the small mods it has.

 

[DOUGMO]

yes I realise its a 9, I should have said "go for it, you wont regret it!"

if he doesnt take it move on and keep looking, for that budget you will find something good for sure

 

[brendanshort]

There is one on carsales that looks nice, $32k, blue (the colour I want) but after a quick RTA check, it's a repairable write off. Wont be touching that one!

what do you value your RVR at for re-sale? details? photos?

 

[brendanshort]

Not sure about my RVR.

When I'm sorted on what I'm buying you will be sure to know.

 

[CDJ84]

That is sexy, but I agree high priced

 

[TBOWGN]

That car is f#*king hot mate! Get it... 4th may buy yours too? I know how hard it is to sell these rvr's

i have done the evo 8 thing and it was great to drive...but....after the initial thrill went i found the the early cars hold more appeal to me from a drivers car point of view. I liked the raw feel of the gsr/early evo.

I do admit that the brakes were great and the handling awesome...but for me they lack charisma.

If you want it as a daily drive it will be fantastic.....if your desire is a blat toy for point and squirt. try an early evo ...maybe a 3 since it will still feel different to the rvr. but will feel familiar in some ways

*** me thats nice.
Here's a con.... $40k is a nice chunk off the home loan :lol:

 

[brendanshort]

Lucky I don't have a home loan then

I had the chance to test drive the red EVO today. Nice car. My offer is being considered.

Then I had the chance to stop at a Ralliart dealership in Brisbane today. Took the new X with the TMR Bathurst kit on it. What a weapon that car is!

$720 a fortnight payment is a little too much for me at the moment! They offered it to me for $69000. List price was $76000 but it had 300km on it from the dealer principle of the place.

 

[4piknup]

at 69k, you'd have to get two of them. wouldn't you?

 

[LWNSLW]

I agree with brain even tho I don't have a early evo anymore, the wifes just lacks that fun feeling...

 

[brendanshort]

Oh well. I bought the IX EVO. Pickup next week.
