Say I put 10 grand down, and the car was 30 grand... and I had great credit (0% APR) I would divide 20,000 by 60 and get $333 a month.. correct?

Now insurance is a WHOLE different story. Even with a clean record your insurance premiums will be high till at least the age of 25 I think is when they drop.

YEp, easy on the clutch I had 03 evo with 28,000 miles on the clock with stock clutch, Few drag, AutoX's with good times. Just dont beat on it and you will be ok. Good luck with your savings... btw I pay way too much for my RS then I should but i can afford it so i dont care.
I would buy one by the end of this year, they get cheaper

I wanted an evo for 2 years (as soon as i got out of highschool), but i had to wait on buying cause i went to Ben Franklin IT for auto technology and didnt want the financial stress. so i waited patiently to graduate and when i did guess where i got a job? Boch mitsu, and i bought a 05 electric evo at dealer cost and loyalty rebate (i have a lancer, too) it came to 27,000 and i put 7500 down to drop the finance to 19500. i owe 250 a month and insurance. i make about 35,000 right now because i left boch, and now i work on nissans. After this month i get a raise to 19.20 an hour! flat rate.

Anyone know of any other good sites to look for used cars, or Evo's in general? I've been looking on eBay motors (1 Evo in Michigan that I noticed), and autotrader (like 3-4 Evos in Michigan). Just so I can keep a look out, and see how prices are doing.
The ones I see now range from $23,000 to $31,000 (used).

No offense, but if you are going to get an evo I wouldn't be worried about modding it. Might want to pay off what you owe first. Also, even though you said you were going to careful and all, the Advans on the Evo wear down real fast regardless of how you drive. Just trying to help.
