Well my budget has increased a bit now that my Explorer is gone however I still have a while to wait for buying a car because I will be enlisting in the AF soon and my training program they want to offer me is about 6mo-a years worth, comming home I will have a healthy down payment for a used EVO. I was trying to find out about new up and comming vehicles but they just don't seem to cut it for the price... and the X will probobly be too expensive I just hope that the VIII and IX arent going to be all gobbled up if people find out the X sucks. I really like graphite grey, hated the color for a while but owning a used MR, I was wondering if when buying a used EVO, it is very tricky and something to take caution in but a used MR? Does that increase the chances of it being pounded? Considering the MR is considered the more race ready of the bunch? I'd like to find a used IX when I get back, something with crap for miles that has been indeed taken care of, just something about these cars that will always have my heart. Is the IX considered the EVO with the kinks worked out? after 03-04 and 05? I would like to spend $25-$26,000 at most on a used IX MR, VIII MR or IX. I am just hoping that the car will last me.
