sell them both and invest your money, you'll never get it back if you put it into either car.

agreed. any dollar you put into either car will be lucky to earn back 50 cents when it comes time to sell.

you should do the following.

1. return both cars back to as near stock as possible and sell them. This includes putting a motor (stock) back in the gsx.
2. sell off the aftermarket parts for anything you can get.
3. use the 9k in combination with any money you get from either dsm and parts and put it into your preferred savings vehicle. If your savings amount is not in a tax deferred account, you're probably putting it in the wrong place.
4. _IF_ the evo 9 is your decision, then purchase that car using as low of a down payment as possible and financing with the best possible interest rate over whatever time period you are comfortable with. Your savings interest should be higher than your vehicle finance rate.
