Why wait... nothing's changing on the '04's at all. Dealers are looking to move the '03's sitting on their lots. Do it now.

Would the price of the 03's depreciate when the 04's come out?

I don't have alot of money to spend w/ college coming up and I want to try and get it for the CHEAPEST POSSIBLE. ^_^

I am now going to wait for the 04 just to see what it is like and also because any remaining 03s have probably been sitting on the lot a while or in a showroom getting groped, scratched, and the seats worn. (sounds like car rape lol)

I agree with the waiting. If you have the money and can find a nice one that has not been worn <car raped LOL> , then that might be the best bet considering trying to clear the lots. But you never know what the 04 might bring.

Has anyone heard anything other than it is going to be basically the same? I heard it will have a 6spd and cost around 36K! What are peoples thoughts on that? any info would be helpful as i am looking to pick one up soon also!

Because you can get the evo RS for less with a front LSD You can get it fully optioned with a/c and put the money in a better headunit and speakers.

i say never buy a used Evo. When you test drive an Evo, wouldnt u wanna see how much power it really got? Well, I never drove a manual AWD b4 and I tried launching it. Bogged down and everything. I was waiting for the car to warm up before test driving it but the dealer was like, go, drive it already. I told him it's not warmed up yet but he said, doesnt matter. Well, i did only 6K shifts and not at WOT to prevent any future potential drivers from having a bad Evo but I still launched it a bit. Not good.
