Which One To Go With

Ok guys in a tough choice here.....I am buyin an EVO and not sure which one to go with....I have the option of getttin 03 Black w/ sunroof 7k for $24899 plus taxes or a 03 Blue 15k w/ sunroof for $24256 plus taxes. Not sure what to go with....around here everyone has black not many blue...but the black has less miles. So what you guys think is better.

Don't like the blue, though it shows more detail than the black. The black is sporty and elegant. Go Black!!

i would worry more on mileage... go with the black...less miles means less it was beat up on from previous owner..hahaha.

But seriously...lower mileage would be a bigger factor in my decision. Its your money thouhg

I like the fact that the blue one is comin from LA which means it has seen no winters...the black one would be coming from washington so it might have seen a winter...plus i like the low miles its just black gets dirty easier and scratches can me noticed a easier!! thanks for those who are replyin!!

A car with 7000 miles might have been beaten much harder than one with 15000 miles. Maybe one was tracked and the other one wasn't. Do they have any mods?

I think the blue looks much better. You should try to find out more of the history of the cars. They both have very low miles.

Neither one of these has enough miles to make a big difference. Start with the color you like best and then check for previous mods, look in the glove box for previous owner information and contact them, have another dealer or local mechanic look underneath the car for odd damage or scatches, check titles and ensure they are not rebuilds. Lastly, get a GOOD test drive under your belt, ask if you can take it for a day or at least a few hours.
Good luck.

Talking

It's just one of those personal preference things.

Personally I had a nice shiny black car in high school, but that was when I could afford time to wash it 2-3 times a week and wax it once/ week.
I don't have that time now, so it'll be white for me!
If you like either colr, don't let that make your decision. The low miles is the key, more available warranty balance.
Bottom line, they are both real sharp! So this didn't help did it.....

I work for CarMax and I will be makin my purchase from there....I trust these guys, I found info on both cars...neither have been modded or we wouldnt have been selling them. Both have clean titles no isseus. I found that we only put $212 of work into the blue and a little more on the black...so Blue one required less work so I chose that one.

Well, there you go. I'm sure you are excited now.
Congrats (I'm jealous)
