I dunno what kind of 03's people have been getting but mine has had very few if any maintenance problems. (Other than the ones I may have caused myself from modding)

If you want on '03 definitely check to see if it has a newer clutch. The rest is just like any other used car. How's the tire wear, how are the brakes, what's the engine bay look like. These are all things to consider when buying ANY car.

My '03 hasn't cost me much more to maintain than any other car I've owned. But then again I've always used good summer tires, synthetic oil and good brake pads for all of my vehicles. The Evo is not a money pit as some would make it out to seem unless of course you get a car that someone beat the piss out of.

Back to the original topic... Check your finances. Can you afford the payment? Call your insurance company and have them quote you a premium. Now can you afford that plus the car payment? Don't forget gas and how much you drive daily. Gotta use 91 octane or better which these days is over $3 a gallon.
