Default Something (car, mainly) that you've always wanted.

What's the furthest you'd guys go to get the car you'd always wanted?

Given the upcoming demise of the current generation Mitsubishi Evolution, I'm thinking about plopping myself deep into debt so I can own one of these cars.

just some points of interest working in my favor...

1. 730ish credit score
2. If i part the teg out i can probably gather up 2500-3000 from the parts
3. If i sell the teg private party bone stock, its worth about 5k

any thoughts...minus the opinions you have about how you might not like evolutions?

Not worth it. It's just a car, and most people outgrow them and move on to other things/vehicles. Why make your life difficult for something that will lose value in the long run?
