i dont know why kids are working their *** off to barely afford the evo, the price tag of the car is only the beginning, maintenance is super expensive. geez thats $800 a month for a teenage to own an evo, thats insane.... for that money i could own an m3 easily...
oh well hope your mommy and daddy is willing to help... i genuinely give u a "good luck"

But on the up and up a 16 year could pay 200 a month...If he lives in Missouri.
Florida, i dont see him paying anyless than 300 and no more than 450.
If that 20 bucks an hour falls through, there's always sucking cack.

All depends.. will be cheaper on your parents policy.. I'd say 250-300 a month.. and after your first wreck it's going to skyrocket and you will have to sell the car at a great loss...
Not judging you by your age.. but I know if I had my evo when i was 16/17 I'd either
1. be dead 2. be in debt and driving an 86 honda after my first wreck 3. be working all the time to pay for the car and not enjoy the best years of my life.
Just my .02.. but if you're paying 200-300 a month in insurance.. plus a car payment... your not going to have enough money/time to maintain/mod the car.

But if u get any tickets or get into an accident, you'll probably have to consider whoring urself out for $$$ in order to pay ur insurance afterwards.

Yeah, people are getting raped on the insurance for this car... too many IMMATURE drivers out there. Like that 35 year old that almost ran me off the road in his STi today cuz he didn't know how to take a left hand corner...

I've only posted about 100-120 on the evo forums.
But when I post things I'm not looking for feedback like yours, and nobody is, so why give them to me? Your being nothing but a dick. I'm not asking for your opinion on weather it's a bad decision to get the car, I have my mind set on it. I want to know what other people are paying at my age. I'm looking ahead to know what im actually doing so I DONT **** myself over, I understand it could be a risk, but I love engines and I love the Evo, so if it's possible for me to have it and love it, wouldnt you?
If I couldnt have it, I would still be here on the Evo forums becasue I love the car.
Sorry about flipping out.
I could see exactly where your viewpoint is coming from.
Thanks

Here's my last .02 on this (hopefully this isn't taken as an overly harsh view, just stating my opinion)...as this is getting a bit tiresome. When people buy trucks that get horrible gas mileage and then complain (especially when they have no particular use for such a vehicle)...I think it's a bit dumb. If you can't afford the gas, you can't afford the truck. Same thing applies here...insurance is going to be a pain, possibly if you go through your parents as well. Meaning...if you can't afford the insurance, you can't afford the car. I do honestly wish you the best of luck, and I do think that using your parents as the primary driver(s) is the best way to get a reasonable rate...but if you can't, it might suck, but maybe this isn't the car for you yet.

I can afford im just trying to see how much money for mods, how much I want to mod, and how much to save up before actually getting the car so I can have 2-3 grand spare at all times for emergency break downs / any other problems I have.
