yeah but saphs have gone from being 8 k ish 2 years ago to 4 k ish now,

if you find a sort after modle of the evo , say a makanine, youll still pay up to 22k for one.

there deffiantly cheaper to run, as long as you dont go past 350ish bhp.

oil and filter changes can be done at home, the only thing that hast to be done by a spacialist is the ayc fluid change, this needs to be done every 4000 miles iirc, and is 80 ish quid.

or you can get an rs modle which doesnt have ayc.

as long as you dont fuck around with em to much or launch them (if you launch it of the lights, you will change the clutch after three or four launches) will be trouble free motoring
