Re: Help me choose

Honestly, after having purchased my own used Evo, you can't choose which car to buy from an internet ad. You need to see it in person and look at it, from top to bottom, inside and out.

Ya I am just waiting for a few of the people to come back from out of town x mas stuff so I can check a few of them out. I was just seeing what you members thought as far as ad interest goes.

Re: Help me choose

Assuming they're all equally clean I'd simply pick whichever has the least miles for the least money.

Re: Help me choose

BBY looks good and isn't all that common, so while I agree with Matt D on all points for buying, I tossed my vote up for that one.

Yep, I cant gauge which one is the nicest without seeing in person and driving it. Pick which one you want, not which one we think looks the nicest off an ad.

Re: Help me choose

Im going to go look at a few on Sunday. All of them have had reapinted parts like a fender, bumper, or other parts so ill have to check them out up close except the blue one Im not sure if it has any repainted parts. Im leaning towards the red one if the guy will negotiate with me enough. Does anyone know who that guy is? I talked to him for a while and it seems really nice and he had nothing to hide.

Re: Help me choose

I would take #4 or #5. But like Matt said you really need to asses them in person and go over each one very carefully to really be able to decide. Internet descriptions and pictures can hide a lot of flaws.

Re: Help me choose

Just go look at all of them before you make up your mind. Remember--mods are fairly cheap and shouldn't really add much value (if any) to the car. I'd go with #1 or 2, but I'm partial to black. They all seem like decent cars to me.

I've seen and worked on #4 in person, and it's very nice.

I'd go for the one with less miles, Sure the blue one has its appeal but at the end of the day lower miles always pulls me in. If I have any regret on my last car its putting the mileage on top of my list.

Re: Help me choose

#5, cheapest and milage doesn't matter much to me. If it is a decent car, it will last a long time. I am guessing all of them have been beaten on, I would look at the cheaper of the 2 and see which looks better in person/drives better.

Re: Help me choose

I chose #2 becuase it looks the best but I'd try to talk it down to like 18... If you care about how well it's been taken care of, that's probably your best bet. If you don't care about mileage, I'd definitely take the BBY last one for $15k.
