lets not also forget that all the above '06 EVO's even brand new untitled are now 2yrs old in the car world so banks will treat them as USED!!!!!!!!!!!!!

this means u can haggle on the price as if it is a used car.
for example, the car @ Ball Auto in National City, CA has 98 miles on it. they want $37,424. in that zipcode (91950) the car is only worth $28,075 so if u tried to finance it, u would have to put the difference ($9,349) down as a down payment bcuz the bank will only finance based on book value!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A new IX if possible. If not, a used one. The X is a total sell out. Looks like a slightly modified soccer mom's car. yuck!

I bought my IX used with only 3400 miles on it and saved almost $6,000. Let someone else soak up the depreciation.

I bought my VIII new back in 03' and my buddy did the same thing I did with my IX and I was kicking myself in the nuts. He saved about $6,000 as well I think and it had about 5,000 miles on it.

Theres nothing woring with buying a modded car. If you know anything about the car, you'll know as soon as you talk to the owner how the car was treated and maintained. Buying modded also saves you money on mods as well. My IX is stock and thinking of all the money I put in my VIII and what I'll have to do to my IX to get it there depresses me.
