i went to the garage were i bought my car from just to see if had any new cars etc..

when i got their i come across a very claen/tidy evo 4 in grey.. the car is totaly stardard through out....

when i asked him for the keys to have alook he said to me he would take my yellow evo 3 in px plus £1000.00 pound for the evo 4..
mmmm now this as got me thinking and now also bugging me do i do the deal or not..

if this is a genuine minter mate it would be worth it
depends on mileage , and your own personal preference
prolly wouldnt notice any diff in performance to the III , in fact the III might just have the edge in power to weight ratio , but the IV will be easier to drive on the limit , spec in corners
test drive it and see if it fancies you!!! :muhaha:

If your 3 is problem free, why run the risk of changing it? These are 10 year old performance cars - even a good one is likely to have some hidden issues.

Personally I prefer the III, but from a financial viewpoint it sounds like a reasonable deal if the two cars are in identical condition.

Rather than trading her in if you did go for the IV would you consider selling?

It a tricky one mate as i buy and sell many cars i quite often have option to swap a certain car for another one and options for this normally are like this

1. do swap and get a car which is easier to sell or worth more
2. keep car i have and wait for buyer to come along

then i end up with any one of these endings

1. i swap cars sell second car for more money and everyones happy
2. i keep my car and get a buyer deal done

BUT sometimes it goes wrong, either

1. do swap and car iv swapped for is a plug and i end up with problems or loosing money
2. turn down swaps and end up getting stuck with car and car normaly breaks jus to teach you a lesson for trying to sell it

Ummm any way mate what im trying to say is "BETTER THE DEVIL YOU KNOW"

Unless you know the devil has a few problems or you just fancy a change

Remember "look with your eyes not your heart" as its safest bet

You seem like a smart guy so im sure you'll make correct decision

all so true as with heart/looks it has to be the 3.. its just the change that i maybe intrested in as for the mods etc..

will give the car a very good drive/look over at weekend

as for the devil problems as far as im awere there isnt any.. and is servised every 800-1000 miles (oil - filtter).

thanks for that anyway pal will take it in mind.

Kinda tough one hun :???:

Guess if you are considering the change the best thing is to go drive it and compare it with yours.

Your III is gorgoeus and really tidy, but we all have to move on I guess, and the IV's are good

Take it out and test drive it then go think hard about what you want...........Good luck coming to a conclusion babe
