You can pick up a IX for low 20's with decent milage. Can't get a GTR for anywhere near that.
Talk me out of an Evo X MR

I meant EVO X's and while you CAN find them in the high 20's to find one that's not thrashed within an inch of its life you'll spend 35+ and often into the low 40's. How doesn't that compare to 44k.... Unless you're arguing just for the sake of arguing
oke:
Me, too and the VIII was no problem at all.
Don't be personally offended. Come on, guy.
I read what you typed very clearly. It's not my reading comprehension, its just your lack of knowledge.
Point out to me where I can find r35s for $44,000. Go ahead. Because ill start buying them to re-sell them at their true value if you know where all of the $40k r35s are hiding.
Because the market value for them is still more like $60,000-70,000 and still near $100,000 for the r35s with the ams alpha packages...and the cost to mod and maintain is also significantly more than say....an evo.
But if you wanna think they're in the same price range and you just wanna argue just to argue, have at it. :beer:

Not arguing for the sake of arguing. Like you just mentioned, you made the mistake and put Evo IX, not the Evo X.
I will agree to an extent about the Evo X's pricing. If we are talking used, you can find a clean Evo X for low 30's no problem. I have even seen some GSR's for high 20's that were clean.
2010 MR Touring with 19K miles asking $30k
2010 MR Touring FS in DC area 19k miles, almost stock - EvoXForums.com - Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X Forums
2010 GSR with 38K asking $27k

You, like anything else, can find examples of them used for $40+ I am sure.

I haven't seen a GTR in the states for under 60k. The evo x mr I'm looking at is under $ 30k and has 31k miles.
While I'd love a GTR, it's really not in my price range at this time.
Mitsu? PASS........
I change my mind then. Keep the Audi. The clutch is like a feather. I came from the VW world (that's all I've owned before now) and I know that 2.0TSI like the back of my hand. Its an extremely capable motors and produces loads of torque. I had a stage 2 2011 GTI before getting the Mach and it'd keep up with older STI's with some mods. Never raced an Evo though and it'd definitely put my Mach to shame as it is right now. Get an APR tune and see if that'll change your mind first. Its a night and day difference.
I admit I went to scope out Autotrader at the mention of getting a Godzilla for low $40k. I however, didn't see a single GT-R cheaper than $59k, and that one had super high miles.
The median for a GT-R in the three to four year old range still seems to be $65k for a decent mileage example. No thanks.

The Audi doesn't have as many options as its VW counterparts. An apr stage 3 will be lucky to put down 300 awhp. Also they have yet to produce a real big turbo kit.
And it's missing some features I'd like.
Damn, I would've thought Audi had more options than VW, especially being quattro. Alright then, I guess the Evo :beer:
Another thing going for the EVO is that it's not FWD biased like the Audis are. My buddy has had multiple A4/S4s and he's had to put that Haldex mod in every single one of 'em.
This is what I want to buy as well. Just not in the cards right now, if you can do it. Go for it!
When Mitsu goes bellyup in the American market, parts will be hard to get and very expensive.
Sadly I have a Buddy with that logic and he's serious. I saw then why should Germans buy American cars?
This is pretty much the only reason why I haven't bought one as a DD. I've been looking at an STI instead. I even found a dealer who sells them under invoice if your interested.
Are mitsu's even selling? I only have seen a handful of newer gen evos and basic lancers.
Audi FTW. Just cuz I dot like The evo. Audi is a way nicer car all around. Evo is def more performance oriented. It's up to you. Awd is nice but options can be limited.
I would take the Evo over the Audi

maybe in japan.....
get real dude you will NEVER find a an 09 GT-r for 40s in the US, unless its engine is blown out, and hookers gave bj's out of it before it got hit by a semi truck.
think you just showed us why you opted for the military instead of college.... who honestly compares those two cars, are you on bath salts?
