So they got the Evo VIII for the states now but I really can't and don't want to shell out 30k for a car. What do you guys think of a plot for getting one say used in a 1-2 from now? How much do you think one would be?

It would probably be a worn out POS by then. They don't exactly have a verified track record.

Not much lower in price and probably thrashed to hell by the previous owner.

In all seriousness, it might drop 10%-20% in price because of desireability and limited production.

Driving a 250+HP four banger hard for two years = many potential problems + massive depreciation.

You have to decide if the former is covered by the latter.

I would get a used one in 1-2 years, but only if I had enough money in cash to replace the engine and tranny, because these aren't your grand parents who buy the cars. They're young males probably 95%+ of the cases.

I don't think of it as a plot, but more like a plan. Start watching the car you want in the used car ads and online markets. Learn what their value is and be prepared when a good deal comes along.
