oil change for the evo is every 5000 km, as stated in the owners manual. I drive 40k km a year, so that makes 8 oil changes. for trackees, that would be more than 8 oil changes.

as for hittign 40000 km in year, that's not hard when you have an evo, cos you'll just be looking for excuses to drive out. i'd be out every night delivering tofu to NUH if i lived where you live.

A WHOLE LOT MORE THAN JUST 2.4K

The average EVO owner spends between 25K to 50K to do up their Baby once they get one within the first couple of years. Although most EVO owners I know here in Singapore have spent close to 100K modifying their rides. Don't forget, a lot of the stuff you get on the Stock Evo is basicly useless. eg:

1. Exhaust
2. Down pipe
3. Clutch
4. Air filter
5. ECU
6. Boost Controler
7. Fuel regulater
8. Fuel pump
9. Suspention
10. CAMS
11. Intercooler
12. brakes
13. Gauges

And these are only basic mods which will already cost you around 30K. and believe me once you got an evo, even if you don't want to do these mods, your instict will not allow it. Beacuse you'll really feel like an idiot when another EVO pulls up next to you on the trafic light and then sees you away like you're in a Wolks Wagen beetle.

And don't foget, none of these mods can be insured so if you have an accident the insurance will not pay.

Belive me, these mods are virtually inevitable so you better make sure u can afford them.

Mmmmm, just realised that quite a few of us are sub-average/normal owners :-(

tomorrow I will call up the importer and ask why he sold me a car with so many useless stuff, maybe i can get a refund.... , in fact i am very worried now and not too sure if it's safe to drive my car tomorrow since it's got these useless things in it.....

next I will see the doc to check if i am mentally ok coz i lack the instinct to do the inevitable mods.....

maybe i am worst than an idiot:- coz every cars which pulls away from me at the green light doesn't really bother me a bit... am i retarded? :-(

my story is indeed a sad one............

(just kidding, sunday night is always a bit boring, coz gotta go back to work tomorrow......... kekeke)

Given your age and driving experience, your insurance is damn high, unless you have major claims before? I have 13 yrs experience, over 30 and my insurance is abt 3.5k before NCD...

Yes i think my insurance that was quoted to me by the salesman was high as i do not have any previous claim case even from motobikes,thanks for the info bro,I really appreciate it.
I might ask the salesman again and will find my own insurance ( if possible )Haizz the wait for the finance approval is still on...cant wait to man handle the EVO :bounce:

 

[burnings]

No need to find other insurance cuz only NTUC will insure Evo X.... so the next best thing is to call NTUC and check with them directly....

If I may ask, what is the monthly costs to own a new EVO X now ?

tks!

 

[edwardzz]

Hi Bro
It very much depend how much you can down for the upfront cash, plus additional factors like how many years of loan you will be getting, interest rate from bank, etc.

Rougly it will range from the cost of S$1.2k - S$1.5 per month, fyi

[rl0h]

10q bro. Considering now.. says fork out cash 15k includes insurance with 10-year loan for new GSR, probably ard 1,1k in instalment. Plus petrol & maintenance besides mods. Can I say, average 1.8k per month ? I wish to shrink down the loan repayments to 7-year & lower the cash upfront. But the instalment will b higher. Would it b ideal ?
Also thinking abt getting resale GSR/GT year of 2005 or 2006, & the OMV is very much higher i suppose.
