DO IT! While you still can. Just think about it this way, It's another evo you can save from being owned by "that" other guy.

That sounds overpriced. It's an RS.

I know it's funny but I was just looking for some opinions. I know it's a Hyundai but it's still a good, reliable daily driver. And it looks good. I was just was curious if selling it for a Evo 9 was a smart idea considering I already own a Evo 9

Thats about what I would guessed. I haven't looked on there myself but was thinking the value would fall somewhere between 19k and 21k. So my offer my fall somewhere within those numbers

$19k is on the higher side and I would work down from there.

I'm aggreeing with everyone else while I'm sure you love the clean genesis coupe stanced out they are overweight and slow and since hyundai keeps improving the coupe its only gunna get better. The rs is a rare model that you probably won't find again while the genesis will be around.

Option 2 for sure.

I like your plan. As soon as my IX is paid for Ill be shopping for a RR VIII MR to daily and keep mostly stock and turn my IX into more of a weekend/not so daily drivable car.

I would sell the Genesis, but I would recommend getting something cheaper than that RS since you want a track car. Something like an inexpensive 8 or 9, (probably even one without a clean title since you'll be tracking), or even an Evo semi-prepped for track that's around the same price as that RS. That RS you're talking about is very clean and those are rarer even than an SE. I bet you'd probably feel the same way like you do about your SE, in regards to turning that RS into a track car once you get it.

Thanks man, I like it too I just really wanna start racing again, I just don't wanna abuse my clean Evo IX SE and the Genesis will take too much money to make competitive. Good luck on your endeavors as well

Track the one you have. It's an evo. You already have an evo.
