You're bangimg on about the type R, but have you driven the thing? It's not a patch on a well sorted evo (imo),- no drama yet double the cost of even that one you've linked

Incant believe for a second anyone serious about an evo would consider a fiesta st. If you are serious about something that might appreciate slightly there are some other good suggestions here too

the advantage of the Type R is it's new, the Evo is old.....but we'll have to wait and see, because that £15000 Evo is rare............it looks brand new!

this one is fantastic and it's a TOMMY, this is maybe the one to go for but it has a higher mileage

people say it looks old and ugly.........it looks brilliant to me

You're a bit over obsessed by mileage - it's still under 50k and you're going to put next to nothing on it.

Something like that is much more along the lines of what I'd say was a decent car to try not to lose money on.

The type R will lose an absolute fortune over the first 3 years of its life, I'd be amazed if it held value like the mk2 focus RS as it's just not special enough and not worth the asking IMO (coming from a previous gen Type R owner)
 
i'm seeing the Evo on Tuesday :cool:............my mileage will be about 2000 per year.

all modern cars loose value, i saw a year old Hyundai on Friday......2000 miles and only 7k.......down from 15k in a year :eek::eek:

have you seen inside the boot of that Silver Evo 6...... IT'S PERFECT :eek:

i've just seen an Evo 8 FQ 360 with only 800 miles on it, yes 800 miles, it is for sale at £30 000............now that car is better than PERFECT, if there's such a word....flipping sodding heck :eek::eek:
 
Unless your buying it as an investment I don't see the obsession with it looking brand new and whatnot, if your car is overly clean or you spend half your time cleaning a bloody car then your doing it wrong, cars are meant to be driven and enjoyed, life is too short to have a garage queen and spend hours detailing a bloody car. I haven't washed my car in 2 months, and its muddy stained, the thing gets thrashed everytime I get into it, can't beat the smiles per miles. :)
 


those wheels and tyres are brand new, this looks like one hell of a car, i bet it's been resprayed too :eek:

they've found an Evo over there in really good condition and then restored it, not that it matters a damn.....brought it for 6k, spent 3k on it...........6k profit, a respray normally costs about 2K, but maybe it only costs them 1k

that's what my other car is for ;) and i cant see myself driving the Evo slowly either....well definitely not ;)
 


this is what's called a Street Sleeper :eek: it'll blow you away, under that hood is a Dodge Viper, that is so damned cool :D

there you go, the whole idea is to disguise the car, make it look as bad as possible.......It's 8.4 litres 645HP...........maybe more. Street Sleepers are fairly rare but if you meet one you'll loose, i saw one at the Drag Strip, it wasn't rusty he painted the rust on :eek:, it was an old Morris Minor with a big block Chevy, it even had skinny tyres.

I got a quote last year to get my evo resprayed. It was £4k. And my car isn't that bad to start with. Just going a bit pink in places.

Why waste their time? It's pretty obvious you have no intent to buy an evo. Might sound harsh but this thread is one of those cries for attention when you'll end up with a fiesta or a jazz...

Hope I'm wrong but 'loose value' 'brought' why even look at Hyundai? 90% of naff cars lose value as soon as you leave the forecourt. Had you entitled this thread to be about hyundais and not even you would have received about 4 replies. It's just odd!

You replace depreciation costs with repair and maintenance costs though, there is no free motoring magic formula.

the thing is as soon as you hear it its pretty obvious :p.
 
I have an Evo 8 FQ-300. If you want a capable car to drive quickly then buy a 8 or 9.

My 8 was nowhere near £15k and I bought it with 35,000 miles on it. I've only replaced the belts for peace of mind, had it serviced twice and replaced the fuel filler neck. They're expensive to run and maintain (to an extent) but they're worth it.

Mine is also completely standard which is nice.
