Should I wait for a black evo? or get a different color?

Ok... so I'm lookin' to spend about $22k on an VIII but most of the good ones (low miles) are not in black.. I see tons of whites silvers yellows but if they were black I would've bought it immediatly... Should I wait for a black one to come around that I like? All this time I could be with an EVO but is it worth waiting? I found a nice white one and thought about maybe repainting it? What do you guys think?

Honestly... if you are about to drop $22k (not chump change) I would wait for the perfect, or atleast as close as possible, evo. What's a few more days to get the exact color you wanted. I waited for a wicked white one, and when I finally found it i jumped on it.... and it was worth it.
THere are definetely black evo VIII out there... good luck!
How many miles are you looking for anyway and what year?

I could never own a black car again personally

While they do look FANTASTIC they are practically impossible to keep clean. While my white car can look clean forever it seems.

I'm lookin for an 03-04 with no more than 45k miles on it... I've seen many go for less so I don't think it's THAT impractical

Yes, wait for a black one. All the other colors don't compare to black. I actually think most of the other colors make it look rice. Anyway, the keeping it clean thing is true. Not a chance it'll stay clean when it is black. You gotta work with that, find ways to make it look clean and even blacken the entire car (headlights, taillights, windows, the works).

You must be dedicated to keeping your car clean with black.

I myself will never buy another black car, ever. It's just too much of a PITA to keep clean. It's the sexiest color clean ,but it shows EVERYTHING. Dirt, swirls, chips, scratches, etc. You just have to be dedicated.
