Default getting ready to buy...

an EP3... only 2 left nearby and I'm not sure about the color...
blue, silver... what do you guys think? the dilemma is that my
last 2 vehicles were both silver... guess i should've done a poll
on this one, huh?

or should i even buy one of these???

also, is 17k too high for a new 2003?
thanks!
dc

Mine is silver. Had a blue one in the shop a week or so ago, and it is sweet. I vote for blue..

i bought the vivid blue pearl one just about 2 months ago, and i like it, stands out a lot more then the silver one does.

And for the 17,000 dollar price, thats great. especially since it is brand new.

Mine is silver. Blue is nice, but the interior would better match silver. You can work them down. Be stubburn, and walk out on them if you need to. They will come back to you with a better price.

the ep's are one of the first civics in my opinon that acutally look good with 17' so go with 17's unless you want speed then go with 16's. I am not sure if it was on this site or another one but 16 inch regamasters look great on ep's.
