Mitsubishi Evo VIII
-
Am thinking of getting an Evo VIII and am wondering what are the currently prices out there. I know C&C is gonna bring the Evo VIII at about S$154k. Is it really worth getting from them (i.e. interest payment, 3 year warranty, etc)? Or are the parallel importers still able to give better prices and interests?
Plus, my friends keep insisting that the EVO VIII is not a car to be kept for 10 years - too cause too much problems. What are your views? -
hi,
me not too sure abt the price of an Evo 8 but through parellel importer, you definitely get to save a few thousands. Furthermore, most importer d give customer free servicing as well, and warranty......this is their value added service.
I'm sure an Evo8 will have no problem lasting 10 years, as long as you go for regular services. -
wat i read from book is Evo8 cost $154,988 include COE
by the way my friend own a Evo8 so i try it...it was damn excellent
normally when u buy car ppl dont choose 2 keep it 4 10yrs
-
Depends on what kind of car.... Mercedes are built to last... the car itself can last for 20 yrs at least..... it's not 4 the name but ppl pay for but the Quality...Originally posted by LoVeMeLoVeMenOt:wat i read from book is Evo8 cost $154,988 include COE

Hey guys, thanks a lot. I really appreciate everyone's input. I would like to think that I am paying for a good quality car. Friends have told me of their buds buying WRXs and Evos and due to the cost of maintaining their cars, often change the cars within 4-5 years. I would ideally like to keep the car for as long as I can - I dun subscribe to the view that I should sell a car after 3 years.
My friends are telling me that maintaining the car is quite costly. Anyone with friends who owns a Evo 7 who is willing to share the maintenance cost (Sorry I think anything before the Evo 7 is not really comparable in maintenance cost)?
Anyway, a friend of mine says he can get a "good" price from C&C for me. Of course, I will do my research and will update everyone of the best deals.... -
That's cool. I want to buy a Evo 7 but i think by the time i have enough cash, it would be hard to find already.. I find evo 8 alittle wierd though, in terms of the front design.Originally posted by dansplace:Hey guys, thanks a lot. I really appreciate everyone's input.

Do share with us your experience yeh! Cheers~ -
Hey dudes,
I finally did it!!! I procured the Evo VIII. I sourced and scanned the newspapers, took endless trips up and down AML, visited Sin Ming... finally... after the depressing CPF cuts - I finally got the guts to place my order for a yellow Evo. I must say that it was scary, my first car and everything. I sorted everyone's views... from my MD to my colleague sitting to my right. Conclusion was to get the Evo while you are young.
I must say that I think I got a reasonably good deal. Titanium turbo for S$148k immed delivery with sunroof. Now I just have to find a good service centre.
Somethings that I found out: GSR has a intercooler and the titanium turbo model - the latter has a better turbo system compared to the former. Models manufactured betw end-Jan to mid-July had a recall to check for a transmission issue involving the 6th gear. Do not change the rims - they were specially made for the Evo.
Thats all I can remember - hope this helps anyone who is looking to get an Evo. -
haha enjoy ur new car n be prepare 2 face challenges on the road

Yeah... cannot wait to get my hands on it. I am not a crazy driver who will race thru the streets - life is more important than that, esp if it is not your life that your might just take away. I just like to have the power to totally irriate taxi drivers when I get the chance.
Brian - I am sure you can do the math. Interest for 7yrs about 2.2% for 10yrs 2.45%. Depends on your upfront deposit. From my due diligence rounds, I find that most parallel importers insist that you take at least 80% loan. I guess its the only way that they can earn. Road tax about S$1.5k and insurance... thats another thing that one must consider, esp those who just passed their driving licence, below 30 yrs and no NCBs. Heard of a 21 yr chick, who just passed who wanted to buy a celica (2-door car). Insurance per year was over S$9k - thats of course the extreme.
Stylomilo - I love yellow cars - stupid obession began with E36 M3 when I was studying in Oz. From then, supercars = yellow cars. Its my obession and its stupid, I know....
And i spoke with a dealer while he was on his smoke break. STi JDM or Evo VIII. His conclusion - EVO VIII more sophisticated with the AYC and ACD-like stuff. STi more raw and its more fun on the track where you can afford to whip your tail out (oversteer). Such driving not advisable on public roads. Net-net, EVO VIII more intelligent car and nicer car to drive. STi - raw and more unpredictable.
Lastly, if you manage to watch Top Gear on BBC a couple of weeks back where they tested the EVO (ok, it was the 301 bhp version) vs the STi. The EVO was number 3 on the fastest around the track list - faster than any ferrari, Lamborghini, Porsche or Merc - of course faster than the STi.
