Exclamation Should I sell my lancer, for the evo?, if I do, theres a problem. I need *your* help.

Ok well, Rite now im drivin around in a 03' OZ. Now, Im really really addicted to the evo, so much I am willing 2 sell my OZ to get it.

If I do, however sell my OZ it will be a bit of a gamble.

1st risk: I need cash obiviously to advance 2 the evo, though even if im selling my OZ I will need at least 15 grand more, to buy a used one. (im in canadain dollars here)

2nd risk: I will be waiting for a year and a half to get this extra 15 grand, and I am wondering if there will be any good used vechicles available?

Now I know about that Canada you cannot register a evo and/or make it street legal, though I got it covered as I now have dual citizenship, as well can register the car @ me and my friends summer house in the US, so im all safe on the registering side.

I just drive it in Canada, wait 5 or so months, go 2 the us, stay for an hour, drive back and boom im good for antoher visiting period of another 5 or so months.

So, what should I do?
Sell my OZ, take the gambles for the EVO?
Stick with my OZ?

Thanks 4 ur help,
all comments are greatly appericated.

i'm sure there will be some used EVOs around next year, but i wouldn't think there are going to be an abundant supply... i mean they only made what...? 6000 of them...?

and personally, i would never buy a used high performance machine... you never know how the last guy treated it...

this is also true. most of the used ones will most likely be dogged on for a year if theyre owned by people like me !!

I would wait you are going to take a bath on your OZ. You'll probably lose like $5,000.
