Car Buying Help

Twilex · 31-10-2008, 11:34 PM

I am trying to buy a new car. But it has come down to 3 different cars, and I can only pick one. And here are the cars:

2006 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution MR

1995-1998 Toyota Supra

1993-1995 Mazda RX-7

So, those are the cars. Money is not a problem, as long as they're under 25K. I live in Montana, which in the winter we get snow up here, so idealy the EVO would be good since it is AWD, and there are only 3 other EVO's in town, and that's kind of cool to have a rare car where you live. It has a 2.0L inline 4 tubo engine.
Now for the Supra, it has a 3.0L inline 6 twin turbo engine, and the engine is pretty much indestructable, and just by upgrading the turbos alone, you can add a ton of horsepower.
Finally, the RX-7. This car is a coupe hatchback, like the Supra and they are both RWD, which is kind of bad for the winter, but you can still drive them. The RX-7 sports a 1.3L Rotary engine.
Which ever car i decide on, I will (through some time) upgrade the engine / body / interior / etc, so it will be a fast car, and also a show car. Also, with the RX-7, I will buy the Veilside Fortune body for it. For those of you who don't know what that is, here is a picture:

The kit was used in Tokyo Drift for Han's car, but it's like one of the best kits.
So, those are the cars and some info on them. And I hope you guys here can help me out.

Wait 3-5 months, The Auto industry is fixing to take a huge hit financial wise.

Its already starting around where I live. Toyata and Nissan are offering 0% financing for some odd amount of years.

In a few months cars will be so cheap they will be throwing them off the lots.

It's already real bad. Expect bailouts from Uncle Sam soon for them.

Problem is that the trade in is worthless if you're doing that.

BTW you can't hotlink from that site. Just save those to HDD and post as attachments.

I am personally not a big Mitsubishi fan at all. Also I don't like the RX.

Everyone will have different opinions so pick whatever you like best. I sold cars for years, my dad for over 25 years, and my grandfather for over 50 years. People test drive the units and find things they hate or like that they never before took into consideration. Does it give enough knee room, the seats comfortable, the lumbar bothering your back? Many things to take into consideration. Get whatever you want best. RX7 probably has the best resale. Supra is probably next in line.
