Not to hi-jack the thread -- but you guys are scaring me with this type of information -- that's one of the reasons why I got my Evo -- went from a Ford Mustang with 60K and no warranty to an Evo with the 10 yr tranny, 5 yr bumper to bumper and 3 year maintenance for free -- is it REALLY that bad or is it just the particular dealerships you need to worry about?

Id definitely keep your 03. Your going to get raped on a trade in then pay full price for the MR. So your going to spend thousands of dollars to have a slightly more equipped STOCK EVO. IMO, I wouldnt buy the MR even if I had the money, its heavier, the wheels are terrible looking, and its price just doesnt justify the extra stuff it comes with. The only thing I like about it is that one cool color!

im not trying to bash you buddy...just be happy that you own an EVO
not many ppl have the privilege. hell, i still get so much attention in my 03

Just do a good power mod on your car, feel a little more power underneath you, then maybe that will renew your love for your 03 EVO...

Actually, Rick Case in Atlanta offered $22K to $22.5K trade in on my EVO sight unseen.... That leaves $12K plus taxes and fees (around $1800 in my case). So I'd say you can do it without getting upside down. Just find the right dealer..... OTOH, why trade if you are happy with your car? That's a lot of money to spend.....

It seriously depends on your income level. If you're making less than 50 I would advise against it. Buy a duplex or invest in some stocks or something.

Dont be scared man, if you do stupid stuff then yes it will void it. (I dont really mean stupid, but if you mod it then yes you can void it.) Be smart about it all.

Go steal an 05 GSR for invoice. The MR is a nice car, just not $5000 nicer MSRP to MSRP.

particular dealers, my dealer has been a great help to me about the Evo... I don't have serious mods, which I know they wouldn't cover... but as long as you are reasonable and talk to them about it, they are ok with it. So I would say it is definitely a dealer issue
