what to buy next...

well since i don't know how to make a poll, i'll just do a regular post. i am probably going to sell my talon and put a little more money down and get a new car. I'd like people's opinions. I'm leaning between the Lexus is300, evo 8, evo 8 mr, or waiting for evo 9(kinda dont wanna wait for it to come out, but i'd do it). Or if anyone else has a better idea, let's hear it...

Leave ur opinions, if anyone on here has anything to sell that fits these categories(used or new, just not high mileage) drop me a pm.

kinda similar to my previous situation... except that I dont have that much money for LExus
I was in between IS300 and Evo 8 becuz my gf wants the IS300... and i want some Initial D cars like AE86, FC3S, or EVO....
Did all my research and end up "forced" to buy an evo on my first visit to Mitsu dealer lol.. suffer so much on my monthly payments now
as for cars, if you don't mind the rough ride, and low torque, regular interior, go for Evo 8 GSR.
if money not a problem, get a Lambo!

we'll i dont have money for a lambo, and the is300 used or new is cheaper than an evo. as for the evo8 gsr, no ty. my monthly income is probably around 7-800/month and i dont have to pay insurance(high school student). anyways back to my question. evo 8, evo8 mr, is300 or wait for evo9...someone teach me how to make a poll.

If i really have to choose... MR is the one to go.. but that's just me. Reason? RARE!
Up until now from Nov 2004, i've only seen 4 MR so far on the road.
Ride is more comfy than regular Evo 8, depreciation is the best for 4 door sedan according to recent statistic i read somewhere.

you should just get an RS, you save more in the long run and you get the slip as well
