Soon to be Evo'd again?

I had an 03 Weightless White evo wayyyy back. It had the Greddy Ti exhaust, RMR cat delete, perrin o2 sim, and a turbo XS downpipe... I had to get rid of the car because of school and too high of payments. Needless to say I'm in the works of selling my modded Scion tC so I can get back into the Evo biz. Do you guys recommend I buy a used one or a brand new one? I can get an 05 with 14k miles on it (SSL version) for 27k straight from the Mitsu dealer, and with a warranty. I think that's a decent price for one with leather but I want to see what you guys think. I don't car particularly for leather, but I do go to the clubs quite often so I guess it won't hurt lol...

Any way that being said, if you guys have any suggestions let me know. I'm from AZ so local things would be great...

Here's my tC btw... $23k OBO

I think you can get a brand new Evo 9 RS for around 27k from a dealer in CA. Forgot the name. I know it's not local, but I think it'd be better than buying used. Nice scion btw!

Yeah you could get brand new Evo Rs from Socal Mitsubishi for only 27k, if you can afford it try to get a GSR if you really need the Power Doors/Windows/Locks for about 4k more.

I was thinking the same thing. I'd probably be able to get a better interest rate too if I buy a brand new one. Also the fact that I like the new front fascia a little more... Power everything is a must lol.

Thanks guys. If anyone else has suggestions lemme know!

That TC is nice. I'd say keep it.

But if must get an Evo, IMO you can
get a better deal on a brand new one.

Just my 2¢.

From those pics it looks like a pretty clean TC. I like it a lot. Id get rid of it for a evo tho. FWD < AWD anyday. With a car like an evo... Id personally get new.
