blackeagle299 Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 Hi everyone, sorry but this is nothing to skylines, hope you guys wont mind. Would like to know what you guys think bout these cars Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution 6 and Honda Integra DC5 Type R Im looking to get one of these soon and just cant make up my mind after some time. Been searching bout these cars for some time and i guess i might know some tiny bit bout them. I will keep them as stock as possible and just want to know which one will hold their resale value better (after 1-2 years)? will be happy for any comments, Thanks My budget is around 20k Jeff Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/291215-evo-6-or-dc5r/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles89 Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 DC5R will hold its value better, and can probably resell easier. Because DC5R is one of the fastest legal car for a P plater Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/291215-evo-6-or-dc5r/#findComment-4870001 Share on other sites More sharing options...
JGTC Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 (edited) Hey bud, Both are good cars, if your going to get an EVO 6, try go for the better speced Tommy Makinen Edition, you say you'll keep them stock so ill assume they're not going to see much track time, EVO's are really focused and purpose built, very stiff and firm to drive but a real drivers car. The DC5 is also focused but not as much as the EVO, great cars for the street if you don't mind the FWD format In terms of value for money and depreciation, i think (subjectively) that the DC5 will hold its value better as it is newer and also P-Plate legal - thats where the money is atm, in naturally aspirated cars - i think so anyway All the best happy hunting Pictures also don't hurt =) Edited October 8, 2009 by squareznboxez Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/291215-evo-6-or-dc5r/#findComment-4870002 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im always like to have a Championship White DC5 ! IMO the white is the best colour to go with the REDS for type R. Yea, been thinking bout the TME as well but its just slightly off my budget since they cost around 5-6k more, but also, alot more awesome machine !

JGTC Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 Not too sure if u can import the new DC5R's from japan, the only JDM Integras i've seen are the DC2R's - and they fetch a pretty penny.

eMsta Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 The JDM DC2R is such a nice looking machine! my choice would be evo though - just love their performance! (am thinkning of getting an evo 7 next year) - but from what i can see, resale value is not as good for evos Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/291215-evo-6-or-dc5r/#findComment-4870087 Share on other sites More sharing options...

West Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 DC5 will save you heaps on petrol comparing to the AWD machine, chicks dig it too . EVO will piss all over DC5 at anytime and place.

(OO)SKYLINE(OO) Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 Mitsubishi Lancer EVO 6.5 TME FTW! EVO 6 / 6.5 are one of the best EVO's out of the 10 that where released. BTW eMsta, EVO 7's are the worst. LOL! Such a fun and awesome car to drive.

AGE Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 evo 6 is horrible Yeah but it beats the "VTEC Lag" that the DC5R has. Stretch the Budget and get a EVO 6.5 (TME)...it will hold its value, and is a WAY better car. FWD is like winning a race @ the special Olympics....
