Good news everybody got a new job earning 39 k per year

So i can really start eying up bigger engined motors

But I need you help to choose what to save up for over the coming months

First Car

Mitsubishi Gallant

Second Car

Fiat Punto Grande Evo

Third Car

Mitsubishi GTO

Forth Car

Mitsubishi Evo VIII FQ 240


I want to know your guys opinion on motor in terms of potential and most fun to drive e.t.c.

Thank you

[dagger]

That's Brilliant news - well done

I'd go for an EVO

Just because if i was on that much - i'd get one

[Puntopimp]

I can get one of these four for about 2.5 - 4 k lol BTW that 39 k includes my commision

[dagger]

you'll need the other 35k for the insurance

[Puntopimp]

haha its about 5 k to insure a evo for me something i would pay tbh

[turbonutter69]

5 grand a year on insurance. You need your head looking at.
It's not worth driving.

[waynne]

Sounds great.don't assume the money will always come in, things can change very quickly so don't sale yourself with debt or high insurance payments, I've seen so many people get caught out.

I'd also go for the Evo.

[Puntopimp]

The evo is definately worth a look at its odd the Gallant has a larger engine about 20 more bhp but its 0-60 is 1.7 secs slower

[MasterAuron]

Including commission? So what's your basic? Fq-240? Is there such a thing?

Don't pay 5k insurance mate, its just not worth it as you'll never see a penny of it back. I earn consiberably more than that and I would never pay over 3k insurance for one car, even that's silly!

[Puntopimp]

my basic is 16 k for first month then it goes up to 25 k the the fq 240 is the lowest powered model

[MasterAuron]

Nope 260 lowest model and only the 300+ evos are badged as fqs.

[Puntopimp]

ooohhhh picking straws i see haha

[MasterAuron]

Not really, just thought you might like to know exactly what it is you're thinking of buying. Just bare in mind evos have big running costs, require very frequent services, are extremely thirsty and some parts have serious EVO tax.

Good on ya buddy!,would deffinatly go for the EVO,Bigbadjo may tell you about running costs etc as he has one,if you ask him nicely!lol.

Yes but BBJ is out of the country often, so the costs for him might well be very manageable

[MasterAuron]

As above, he never drives it! I have three mates now with circa 400hp Evo's, two Evo 8 MR's and one Evo 9 MR. Trust me when I tell you running costs are high, driven properly they munch tyres and you'll be lucky to average 200 miles (of 97+ fuel none of this cheap Asda crap) to a tank on a steady drive. If they clutch needs changing (and they don't last long either) you won't get too much change from £1k.

And and the one lad has had his 400/400 9 for only a couple of weeks and 4th gear has just spat its dummy out. Known weak point on the 6 speed box when approaching 400hp. Cheapest he has found now is a stronger but not as nicely ratio'd 5-speed for £300 plus fitting kit for £150. Although he might go all out on a proper nice box.

Congratulations! What's the job then?

well then mate if the jobs definitely going to be permanent and you will definitely be earning the money they say (just be careful of this!!!) the evo 8 is a fine choice!!!

[Puntopimp]

it is permanent indeedy! lol

I reckon a GTO could do a EVO ya know xD 3 L twin Turbo'd beast!!

[turbonutter69]

But the Evo would blast past you when the GTO breaks down.
