sell the evo and buy the pulsar,that way you will end up with money in your pocket to pay for insurance,based on both cars being in good working order.

That pulsar will be worth 2.5k tops which is why I still have mine, not worth selling.

Evo is worth 5 grand, Pulsar is worth what, 3 tops?

Don't be daft. Sell the EVO if you can't insure it...

no wonder your mate wants to swap; IMO i wouldnt, the evo is probably twice the value of the pulsar

plus the evo's are far more sought after

in reality you will do well to pull 5k back for an evo 4 in this current market.but its still worth more than the gtr.

i wouldnt swap-try it on ebay and see what swaps you get offered

i wouldnt swap, even if the Pulsar is faster.......................... end of the day the evo looks nicer, or it would if you put some better wheels on and removed that sunstrip!

I know the insurance is alot but if you cant afford the car then you shouldnt have got it! if its mainly down to this fact then do the swap, and get some wonga off him on top
