Very cheap.

I'm also selling an Evo. I've experienced a lot of time wasters and bullshiters.

The best thing to do is ask them if they are willing to put a deposit down after test drive. If you get people saying "i'm looking at a few cars right now" or "umm, ahhh" rubbish, don't bother with them. They're just time wasters.

[G0Z1LLAAAAA34]

i don't agree with that. yes there will be some time wasters but if you put yourself in buyers' shoes, they are trying to buy a high performance car which is very likely to be driven hard. they would have to compare from car to car. if you want your car sold, u'd have to let them test drive. no 1 would ever put down a deposit before they even get to drive the thing. CLEAN EVO BTW

[Mikeyz]

also disagree with that.. if your in the market to buy a car your not just going to test drive 1 car or look at 1 car.. its just common sense people will need to look around.

I've tried to wade off the timewasters but you just never know.

Spoke to a dude the other day - seemed very interested, msgs back and forth. So he comes to inspect the car and rocks up in whats clearly his parents audi with P plates and another lacky friend.

He says that he's almost sold his $45,000 Audi (bland boring model, not an rs4 or similar)- I give him the benefit of the doubt as he's one of the first people to inspect, so we go around the block etc... he says he call me back -

then sms me with this (I'll type it exactly):

"Hey quick question. One day this week, befor Friday, will I be able to... Lets say borrow the Evo for about a day. I want to sort of see how it drives from day to day + my mechanic to see it... Its really important as I am interested in the car but dont want to get it and know that I'll get over it after a week... and as me borrowing it, my car (the audi) can stay with you. let me know. let me know..."

Off topic but LOL

Tell him sure he can borrow it, if you can borrow his girlfriend or sister for a week to test

L-O-L .... Oh the AUDIacity of some people. See what I did there?

Quick edit - Compared to your 32gtr how did you find the evo in comparison? I'm torn between an evo or a 32/33r at the moment.

this has to be the best thing i've red in a very long time lolololol

but seriously, you wouldn't even buy a t-shirt without trying it on at the store first, let alone fork out 30k for anything before testing it lol

[kn6gtr]

i almost fell off my chair in laughter reading this, borrow the car for a day wtf... bet my gtr on it he still wouldnt buy it, it would come back with 500km on it, all his mates been in it, rooted some chick in it or tried at least and the clutch torched...

u left out borrowing his mum to depending on ur age...

Generally u can tell the time wasters. We have sold so many cars and sometimes u think this guy is just wasting my time, but then they end up buying it.

I normally come across as a time waster so I don't seem too interested and that way I can negotiate with them.

But if some guy sent me that msg I would tell him " EVEN IF YOU LICKED THE SWEAT OFF MY BALLS I STILL WOULDN'T LEND YOU THE CAR"

But yeah it's sometimes a bit hard to tell

[G0Z1LLAAAAA34]

Yeah it is just the nature of selling a 2nd hand jap performance car. Low ballers, time wasters and test pilots. They are all just part of the game GLWS dude

Deposit now taken.

The Evo vs 32GTR - I've already posted about this forum a few times in this forum.. but let me give you my experience.

I'll preface this with the Evo cost nearly 30k let that be said. The R32 is 15 years old.

Having said that, an 33GTR would would be a better comparison - so lets include it.

Money again - I would have to buy an R34 just to complete a boyhood fancy. That was an extra 10-15k.. though as a complete car for the price... imo the Evo - you cant do better

The Evo was/is the best car I have ever driven (gtst,gtr,wrx,legnum (waaaay better than the subie),gtir,supra,rx7) to say that the handling was the best thing about it given that it could out accelerate all the aforementioned and BRAKE like it was snapping your neck off - is a veeery good compliment.

Look the 8MR is a 'today' modern car that would make most of us a champ through the hills. When I get back into cars I know apart from living out fantasies of an R34 - I'd take an Evo over almost anything. Mine was modded with RDA400 slotted rotors and it was silly quick.

I loved the gtr (r32) and that was modded to 250kw - I really did.. but 250kw in a gtr feels nothing like 220/230kw in an Evo - and I'll stand by that any day! The car as a concept of wholeness, traction, stop and go is just off the scale.

1st of all. congrats on the sale

In relation to your fantasies of r34 gtr, I have had 1 myself and now i also drive an evo 8 mr. I'd have to say r34 gtr feels heavy, slower steering and worst of all, it is laggy coz you have to change the turbos in the gtr to gain solid power without breaking the turbine wheel as factory 1s are ceramic. As much as some GTR owners claim how responsive their cars were tuned, i have yet to see 1 that has response compare to cars like evo/sti. most of all, a r34 gtr really is just the name and the herotic image in most people's head(I still cant believe how people could ask 55-60k for a 12 yr old gtr in that sense). Evo 8 MR wins in nearly every single aspect in terms of being a car, maybe the only led down being weaker drivetrain. In relation to your say about evo being "wayyy better than wrx". I have had a 2005 STi in dead stock condition. Mate i rate STi over evo in this 1. Evo feels lighter with quicker steering feel and slightly more torque due to its twin scroll turbo, and is said to be faster in corners. However I personally always felt the STi was more stable and more solid than the evo EVERYWHERE. the steering, the gearbox, engine and the ride itself. If i had to choose again between evo and STi, I'd choose STi without a 2nd thought. But only MY05 model STi.

[ShaolinCurse]

OP drove a GC8 , so its not really a fair comparison to begin with, a more accurate comparison is your 05 sti to an 8mr... either way, congratulations with sale.
