Since vendors sell for a much larger markup than individuals, I would be greatly concerned about that car's condition and past.
Be sure to check it out thoroughly, preferably by an Evo owner who has done his own mod installations, because that way he'll know if things have been tinkered with and put back to stock from previous mods.

just my luck....30min before i leave to go check it out they call me to tell me its sold and they are shipping it as we speak out of state.....talked about a new 06 and its just way out of my price range right now and plus they dont wanna give me squat for my cts.....im getting a little discouraged...when i traded in my z i had neg. equity and now the cts price was good but i still got the neg. equity from my z that is killin me...im in a weird perdicament as in if i should save up money for a downpayment for a evo...or just hang onto the cts for awhile...or what the **** i should do...one thing i really like about the evo is that i heard it holds it value better than most cars...my z went down fasttttttt

maybe we both can put our smartass selfs together and solve this one....listen to this real quick....when i bought the car 2 weeks later i had tons of probs that were all covered under warranty but one problem i had was that the car had a pinstripe on it and i took it off...well the rear piece was a btich to take off well come to find out the clear coat was coming off with it...took it to a friends bodyshop and he told me it looked like the car was in a accident because they repainted the rear of the car...thats why the pinstripe wouldnt come off easy in the rear.....only thing is i did a carfax and nothing came up regarding this or accidents...something on the carfax site says if you can prove the car was in a accident they will actually buy the car back from you...im just wondering how the hell i would prove this...
I pay $588 a month, but that is a three year loan at 1.9%... so I don't think I'm doing too bad. As for this guy that wants the evo, your an impulse buyer, just take a chill pill, wait it out and you will get over the whole evo thing, I was about 2 minutes from getting myself into an '05 M3 when I stopped, let it go for the night, and then realized, "What the F'k am I doing?!?"

^ lol...i know what yer saying...after you drive it you dont care how much it is you just say sign me up....to be honest i had seen the evos at the dealer the first time they came out....wanted one really bad....as time went on i had a 350z and now a cts and i look back and wish i woulda just got the evo in the first place...so i wouldnt neccesarly say im a impulse buyer but i do think i am gonna wait until i sell my cts on my own or have no negative equity...

I don't know if you follow the industry but the EVO is one of the highest resale vehicles on the market next to the Mini Cooper and Acura MDX...
. Be smart 5 years max if possible 3 years is great not everyone can do that. I bet if dealers offered 7 year loans people would take that because there payments are lower.

The longer you finance the more goes to interest. Dealers love giving out 6 year loans . Be smart 5 years max if possible 3 years is great not everyone can do that. I bet if dealers offered 7 year loans people would take that because there payments are lower.
