Why did you buy your evo?

It seems like there are so many different purposes for an evo. They can be used for just about anything. So what purpose does your evo serve to you?

I have a V6 with 20 gallon gas tanks. I wanted to downgrade to a performance car that is good on gas and a 4 cylinder. I know someone's gonna say get a Honda but after test driving my Evo, I fell in love with it.

Well, all of the above, but the reason I chose it over all its competitors was looks. Since COBB is local I would've bought an STi back then if they weren't so god awful ugly. Now... I'd buy the STi

A guy that I used to work for bought my MR for his son and they buy new cars basically ever single month. (His dad is worth about $600 mill)

When his dad got sick of seeing the "tin can" as he called it in the driveway he took him to an exotic dealership and bought him a 2007 Porsche Carrera C4S.

Can we say Upgrade much ! ! !

I had entertained the idea of buying it for a while from him but decided not to since he wanted about $8K down for it.

When it finally came down to the day he bought his son the new car his father called me and asked if i would like to become the new owner of the Evo.

I said HELL YES! ! and he said ok, we will work out the details....

I wound up giving him only about $1K and taking over the payments.

Best upgrade I have ever done, I gave the Benz I was driving to my Wapce

I found WAY too good of a deal to pass up. '05 MR w/ 11k miles for 25OTD. Working for a dealership has its perks sometimes.

[QUOTE=philevo;5737604]awd, fast and 4 doors[/QUOTE
Like phil said above thats how i saw it which i guess is the same as overall performance. But I also chose it because of how easy they are to modify.

Just a great car overall.
