if you can get a evo for under 13k not crashed it must have a bazillion miles on it....

i would go with the 9 fixed...

between those two the 9...but really none of those sound like a good deal. How much you would end up spending on fixing the 9?

huh... bro unless you find a pos blown up evo you aint gonna be able to only spend 12. a very very very used evo goes for 18/19. its hard to find a good one even around 20/21ish.

from experience going down this road once. i was going to buy a wrecked evo and fix it cause that way i would own it out right. i ended up buying a new one and using my 16k for down. The reason i did this was cause every freakin crashed evo ix was selling for like 14k+ and plus repairs done labor free at my old job would have made the final cost like 20+k. So i choose to play it safe and get a new car. Also i was trying to buy the crashed evos thru a dealer only auction
