When I crashed my 2005 SSL evo8 I *almost* bought another 2005 SSL evo8, similar mileage and everything, but there were only a couple SSL IX's on the market and I just knew I would regret not getting the IX if I got another 8. With the time and mods I planned on putting into the next car I knew I had to pick one that I could stick with. I found one IX for like 24k and was really hoping high that it would be 'the one' but the owner was so lazy in getting me pics or wanting to meet up I stumbled upon this beat up 2008 EvoX and started to figure out that for barely any more than I'd spend on the IX I'd get an X with a lot less miles.

Again, drive a few, figure in some basic mods/tuning/maintenance into your budget for the purchase (I planned a few months out or X amount of mods and maintenance) and then finally figure out what the market has on it. Feel free to post up links here as you think about various cars and we can make comments/suggestions!
