even with twins, you cn still put a car seat in the back. why is it when someone has a kid they think they need a bus to get around. I would keep the evo. not worth it to take a loss on it.

i'm in a similar proposition except i'm looking for a more business oriented vehicle, rolling up in the evo at a company golf match is kind of awkward

maybe you shouldnt care so much about what other people think- if people look down on you for driving a mitsubishi they are either ignorant for not knowing what a great machine the evo is or they are elitist bastards- why dont you take them for a ride and scare the $hit out of them, so they can be like "what kind of car did you say this is?"

LOL at you people who think an Evo is a "family oriented car". Having 4 doors does not make it so. There is not much back seat room, its loud (especially having ~400whp), not a very smooth ride over the bumps, no cruise, not sure what the ratings are but I know its not top rated in safety terms which should be a huge concern with 2 infants in the back seat.

Theres lots of reasons why an Evo isn't a "family car", especially a fairly heavily modified one.

Congrats on the family! I would check auto-trader, cars.com, etc and see what other Evos close to you are going for with similar miles. And if yours is exceptional, ask a little bit more. Its better to ask too much and be offered less, than ask too low and not get full value out of it.

For the "business" guy.....I don't see anything wrong with the Evo.

its not what people think its what i think, the car gets boring quick if you don't race it anymore, not down with the big goofy wing anymore either, growing out of the boy-racerish look, i think an e92 m3 is a fitting replacement

Thats why I BOUGHT my Evo, I sold my 2000 civic si and got a 9, best choice I ever made!

Part it out to get the extra cash and/or trade to get stock OEM parts. Put it back to stock and sell it privately.

Private sales always net bare minimum 2k more than the "stealership"...... I mean "dealership"..... Yeeeeaaahhh..... ;P

PS: Congrats on the Twins! You can name them "Turbo 1" and Turbo 2" and when people ask "What you got in the minivan?", You can reply " I got TWIN TURBOS!" ROFL. XD
