EVO6 prices are rightly staying higher, and overlapping the 7 in some cases.

My opinion is there quite a nice car but evo 6/7 are nicer, but they just guzzle petrol and they dont really oooze class like an S - well the S does to me!

At the end of the day, if you want a rally beast with silly amounts of torque and super fast go for it. I also agree with the above, stating there the runt of the litter and the price of them.

If its a modded JDM then surely the insurance is going to be a lot more than a sti.

Didn't realise they were so cheap now, sounds like a cracking car for the money (assuming nothing goes wrong). Do it!

They are all imports My scoob was a JDM STi and rather modded too.

PS - runt of the litter? Thats the 260 not the 280. If you know the EVO's then you will know there is very little difference between the 280 - 300's, especially visually. The 260 is only a 5 speed and has a smaller wing amongst other things. the 280> are all the same base car and running gear.

Neil, I agree but... The S is going to the hardest decision id have to make in terms of car selling. I know I can just get antother one one day though! Id be keeping the Mugen lid and wheels just in case probably They are cheap though, and one hell of a car. Even an EVO6 at about 11-12k would be great fun for a short stint! they do have a very small fuel tank though.

I tend to agree but 18k is totally ridiculous. Thats not what they're selling for I dont think. Good ones go for 15k it seems. Better residuals though.

Its just filling up every 3-4 days I cant handle
