Like most said, don't do it. It is totally not worth it. For the few that are tellling you to to it, I think they are idiots. If I was to pay 50k for a car, it certainly won't be an EVO. uh...yea....50k for a mitsu...NOT!

Yeah, I could pay down my eclipse, but then it will continue to depreciate, as well. I would not break even for about two more years. So until then, I'd have to pay to play.
On a different note, I have had no problems with wear on my cloth seats, and long term, leather will wear worse than cloth, as well as crack and wrinkle with use. Besides, the dimpled cloth was engineered specifically for the evo 8, whereas the leather was haphazardly designed over millions of years via natural selection as a substrate for cow hair, not a seat covering.

Dude, if u know whats good for u, don't buy it. Like everyone else said earlier, pay off the majority of your eclipse and then trade it in. You'll be a lot happier in the long run if u wait a little bit, especially when the new EVO IX comes out!!!!
, I wouldn't even have to think twice about walking away. I'd go get a 05' C6 corvette for less than that

If you are looking at 800 or so then you might as well keep the eclipse and buy the Evo. You drive a lot, why kill the evo? Your paying for the Eclipse either way you do the deal so get your monies worth by having both. It's always good to have a spare car. At your age insurance is not a big problem anyway and it make the Evo a pleasure driver not a primary. What will you drive when the Evo needs a clutch or something?
I don't know what you eclipse payment is now but do the math with keeping the car. A second car is the best thing in the world.

If you have gap insurance on the Eclipse, leave in in a bad neighborhood for a week or so.... as long as it takes for it to get stolen without you actually commiting any crime

Yup, you are MUCH smarter than me for paying 50K for a 30K car. Man do I envy you! I sugested nothing against the law... you can park the car you own anywhere you like. Also, it is called sarcasm. Look it up sometime.
LOL

PS: Only way you are not a moron is if you are rich... in that case you are a bragert rather than a moron for talking about paying 50K for a 30K car.

he paid 50k for it? or did he pay 30k? He doesnt really explain, but i guess he did by the way he defended himself. Its sorta like when ps2 came out. People couldnt wait that 1-2 months and paid 1grand for it. Why can people never wait? Id have to agree with fourdoors on this one. It is moronic.
