For some reason my gf has a thing for these cars for her next car this summer (lease is ending on current vehicle) What kind of MPG are you getting? How is the main scedule on the 08’s? How is the daily driverability of them? her current other choices are: G37X 06 S4 07 335i trying to stay sub 30k [http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Cars-Trucks\_\_\_2008-Mitsbishi-Evolution-X-GSR-Only-4955-Miles\_W0QQitemZ280323790329QQddnZCarsQ20Q26Q20TrucksQQddiZ2282QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUS\_Cars\_Trucks?hash=item280323790329&\_trksid=p4506.c0.m245&\_trkparms=65%3A7|39%3A1|240%3A1308](http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Cars-Trucks___2008-Mitsbishi-Evolution-X-GSR-Only-4955-Miles_W0QQitemZ280323790329QQddnZCarsQ20Q26Q20TrucksQQddiZ2282QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUS_Cars_Trucks?hash=item280323790329&_trksid=p4506.c0.m245&_trkparms=65%3A7%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1308) ---

HaHa seem like shes jumping all over the place LOL. G37,S4,335i are comfortable vehicles to daily drive. If she is set on the comfort of cars like that I doubt she would be impressed by the evo. Just a thought. ---

Are you buying or leasing? I’m assuming buy… A sub $30k B7 is going to have miles and not be CPO’d or have some other issues I’d think. Esp. if you are talking OTD w/ taxes. Not to mention you were considering gas mileage in your equation. I wouldn’t buy a non CPO’d S4 either. The new Audi’s have the key in pocket action, but that is beyond your range. The BMW doesn’t? ---
