She's gone!

After 10 months or so the Evo sold today to the first viewer (as always). Massive amounts of interest in the car and looked great as it drove away!

 

[Mr R.]

I don't like you anymore.

 

[Knuckles]

Shame

Did you aggressively write "first to see will buy" in your advert?

I didn't actually think that'd work

 

[leeds_182]

I don't like you anymore.

Sorry my JDM brother.

 

[leeds_182]

Shame 😧

It was the 'never raced or rallied' statement.

 

[Mr Plums]

Nice car mate, what next?

 

[leeds_182]

I'm putting 8k into the Volvo.

 

[Mr Plums]

Hahahaha, what made you get rid?

 

[adamlstr]

Thought I saw this for sale on MLR a couple of days ago.

Shame!

 

[imprezaworks]

Real shame. But the plans on the Volvo sound awesome with the money from this sale

 

[Djw John]

How many of those months was it actually on the road for?

Funny enough I mentioned ek9's to him last night and spotted that.

Erm, 4 and a bit?

Brilliant piece of kit, just go for crazy prices. Never driven one so this is just an in educated guess. I reckon you have to be able to get something just as a capable but at half the price.

If buying you should have kept it and stored it

Shame mate 2 of my mates have sold there evos in the past ( 6 and an mr340 ) both regret selling them more than any other car they have owned.

 

[leeds_182]

They are great cars but the servicing and running costs are quite high. It's kind of like doing a cambelt every year once you have changed the engine, box, diff oils etc. Plus there is the 15mpg issues, £300 for front disks, it all adds up.

I'm glad I owned one but I'm not going to lose any sleep over selling it.

Both responses above represent each half of my brain with my VI. Unless you keep a decent amount of money to one side, there will always be something that eats into your wallet with these. That said, they are an immensely capable car - even today - and its definitely a notch on my Car Owning Post that I'm glad to have experienced.

This is why I stick with Clios, the wife would rather have a couple of holidays than let me run up massive servicing bills

So does my right hand. We've got a great relationship, it never says no and I get what the f@ck I want
