Yes, I know it’s a lot of money and I really don’t want to waste any of your time (let alone mine), so if you think this is too much to ask please just skip straight to the next offering. I won’t be offended and I wish you every success in your quest. For those of you who have the financial means and the desire to scratch that Evo itch, read on to find out why this may be the car for you. In fact, if you do persevere and wade your way through all this you’ll pass the first test of being a genuine Evo addict.
So, to begin. Writing this is somewhat of a labour of love as my ownership of this car is more than mere infatuation. It’s no quick fling either as I bought this car brand new from Knox Mitsubishi in Melbourne in March 2006. It’s been 17 blissful years of companionship. We’ve looked after eachother over the journey too. I’ve enjoyed the anticipation of every drive, even if it’s as mundane as commuting to and from work or better yet a spirited blast on some curvy back roads and I have never once been disappointed in the Evo’s ability to deliver its unique thrill of driving. In return I’ve satisfied my obsessive compulsive disposition by treating her to a full wash and interior detail at least once a week. Every. Single. Week. Of course she’s been garaged her whole life both at home and at work.
As further devotion, she’s been fully serviced (with service book proof). Now some will service their cars on a kilometer basis regardless of whether the elapsed recommended service interval based on time has long since passed. On the other hand I’ve had my Evo serviced strictly based on Mitsubishi’s advised time intervals even though the kilometer readings were always well below the recommendations. This includes strict compliance with the interim 4 monthly oil changes even though the car had often only travelled around 2,000 km during that period. The first three services were performed by Knox Mitsubishi during 2006 however I was not overly impressed with their “customer experience” so from 2007 to today the car has been exclusively serviced by Jeff Beaumont and his team (Zac and Jason) at Evo specialists Tech///Sport. They have been wonderful partners in looking after my car and I would encourage anyone with an Evo to take advantage of their deep knowledge and enthusiasm.
So, having established our abiding relationship credentials, why am I selling the automotive love of my life? Well, having retired a few years back my wife and I have examined how we want to maximize our shared love of driving and it’s fair to say she doesn’t completely enjoy the on-road experience of the Evo. I guess it’s a bit too focused and compromised to be a fun cruising sort of car, so we’ve bought something else. That means that the Evo has been quietly sitting in the garage on a trickle charger under a car cover (with regular short drives to keep the fluids flowing) and while the idea of keeping the car as a long term investment has some appeal, unfortunately I just don’t have the space to house excess cars. So, after a long heartfelt discussion (with the Evo, not my wife) and no small amount of counselling we’ve agreed to an amicable separation (again the Evo, not my wife). The only proviso imposed by the Evo is that her next custodian loves her as much as I do. There may even be visitation rights negotiated as part of the settlement (kidding, not kidding).
