Help! Evo Decisions...

Well... its getting about time to buy an Evo so I got a few questions/concerns, feel free to give ur input, or how you would do this any help is appreciated! My plan as of right now is to sell my current car (99 civic) use that money, plus some other I have saved which should amount to a total of 10-15 grand (somewhere in there). I plan to take out a loan and make payments. Now.. should I go brand new, or buy used? I want a white evo 8, 9 would be amazing.. but I doubt I can afford that.. hehe

The only places I know of to look for cars is autotrader, and ebay. As of right now within 100 miles of my zip code there is one white evo for like $25 or something. Is there any other places I could check, or whatever? I like the white, cuz I have heard its more JDM, and plus I love the look of white with a carbon fiber hood, some black or graphite wheels, and tints. However, I suppose I would settle for a silver or black one.

Even tho I don't have the Evo yet, I have been wondering somethings. Im sure its been talked about before, but since i already have this post, I might as well ask in here.

What are some good first mods to do to the evo? I will be modding.

One last question for now.. for you people who have sold cars before.. what is the best way of doing it, or fastest way? I plan to list it on autotrader, and possibly some papers.

This may be a little confusing or hard to understand, but I had all of this in my mind.. and have been wanting to ask cuz I am sooo anxious to get this damn CAR!!

ANY help is appreaciated...ANY input is appreaciated...I just wanna be a proud evo owner real soon.. so help in any way you can.

Thanks!

First mods should be a boost gauge, turbo back exhaust and somekind of boost controller, either manual or electronic. Next mods depends on how much you want to mod the car. Have a goal in mind before modding and plan out your mods.

Autotrader and local news papers are great ways to sell your car, you can also park it with a forsale sign in a parking lot next to a busy street.

Get blue by you... it is the best evo color. Most people on here would disagree with me on this one but try to find a modded one for sale. Save money by buying it modded just make sure it is thourghly checked out. Be prepared to travel to find it.

Actually blue was my original choice of color when I first decided I wanted an Evo. My friend has an 05 Pearl Blue colored RSX Type S.. and I liked the color a lot.. so I thought I would get a blue evo.. however i have since ventured off from the blue to either:

1. White
2. Silver
3. Black

Thanks guys for the quick replies.

I got mine for $20,000 off autotrader car had 45,000 miles on it and looked like it just came off the showroom floor(except the fading paint) Check eBay Daily sometimes good deals pop up and get bought in 1 day!
