I'd not get a black one. :P
Otherwise I'm glad I got a lancer and glad I got a sportback (that last one took a while though haha).

If I could go back I would have waited a year till I got off my P's and bought the Ralliart instead of my VRX... Still happy though :)

If I could go back in time I would thank myself for not getting a brand new lancer and waiting about a year for this one... it has everything I was goin to do it minus the MMCS... For approx half price... Just the only downside is it had 30k Kim's on the clock....but it was a women driver... So it was looked after!!

Michael, I'd never regret buying new over used. While second-hand value is much greater, for me nothing beats a car with no other owner before me.

What makes you regretful of buying the SST?

@ Dirtee
Mines a manual so maybe clutch wear might be bad =P But compared to my driving I think it is safe to say it was looked after...

Wanted a black RA as my last lancer was blue, but other than that absolutely nothing else :)

@ squala
I am yet able to experience the new car feeling first hand but where I am now financially happy and satisfied that all the mods were already done and the purchase price was decent

Yeah I see what you mean. It also took some time for me to be able to buy my first new car. My passion is just immense so I greatly appreciate any unused motor.

Just saw this thread and wanted to say I probably wouldn't have cheaped out on the mods over the years e.g. the RPW tune which I'm sure contributed to my dramas. Was very happy with the MRT guys.

Had a lot of fun with the Evo. Had I known I would sell it after only 2 years though maybe I wouldn't have modded it with things which were difficult to remove/sell e.g. the custom fab sub box and aftermarket amp which I spent several $k on at Lifestyle.

Not on my Lancer but prev ride: lowered springs. Biggest regret as it just made the car ride really hard and added next to no performance benefits. Even with aftermarket shocks, nolathane bushes, upgraded sway bars, etc. it would have been more cost effective to go coilovers from the beginning. Which is why I'm leaving the suspension on my current Ralliart stock!
