2006 evo mr will she last forever?whats next?

well i have my 2006 evo mr for sale. 52k miles.
-exhaust/tune/mbc
-whiteline front,rear sway
Long story story short, i have the car for a few months now and i really have nothing bad to say about it. theres just something about it that doesnt work for me. i get it in ,drive it to work everyday.starts, runs,drives without any problems, i just put a new clutch in the car this week aswell as whiteline sway bars and a bottom mount. Ive been looking around at other cars and it doesnt seem like anything really is even close to what this car has to offer. any help
I dont even know whats next.. maybe if i pick up a daily ill appreciate the car. but summer is comming. i think the winter has just got me down on my car. need a little help. the guy who wants it is comming on thursday "cash in hand" and he knows i am firm on the price. thanks everyone

Let me guess, you bought it and you garaged it the whole time.

Cars are meant to be driven, Evo's are meant to be driven harder! I love my Evo. Go get a Civic. Srsly, you'll appreciate it more later.

You didn't drive it enough to enjoy it.

Good Luck on you next purchase.

Just as a side note: I have driven lots of different cars. standards to exotics.
I use my Evo as a Daily driver and it somehow always brings a smile to my face when the boost kicks in

I saw this and it reminded me a lot about myself. I wanted an Evo for a long time and I finally got one. After I got it, I started doing the "nitpicking" like rust on the trunk, high millage, etc... I saw this video and it just reminded me to never take anything for granted. Hell, I even rejected someone that offered me $2k more then what it's worth on KBB. I can never give this car away now, I just love it too much.

i drive the car almost 100 miles a day.ive been autoxing since im 16, in that respect the car is unstopable. weekends the car is great its just a little to bare for me. its a good car i just think its time to let it go. if this guy backs out im sure my tune will change.

SOmetimes I think DD a vehicle makes you not appreciate it as much because you use/see it everyday. I don't drive my EVO in the winter and it's not my DD. I think thats why I appreciate it more.

Drive it harder. I DD mine and I love it all the way around. When I am going slow, fast w/e. I cant wait to get a few things done so that I can love her more
Dont sell it. More than likely you will regret it.
