Well said. I forgot to mention in my previous post that I was lucky enough to know a guy who lived in Las Vegas with an Evo, so he knew what to look for.

OP, if you're willing to fly/ buy, you can conceivably save yourself a ton of money. By flying, I saved about $3500 (factoring in tickets, hotels, & gas for trip back) vs buying locally/ near-locally.
