The Basics of Car Washing:
You can always get crazy but this is the bare minimum in my opinion.
Bucket(s) amzn.to/2YhCEbx
New Grit Guard(s) amzn.to/2VRBaHw
Rubber Hose (Not the same I have but a good brand): amzn.to/2VMof9W
Hose shut off valves: amzn.to/2H9TPWY
Microfiber Towels -amzn.to/2VrqBLV
Wash Mitt - amzn.to/2Yg5vNG
Soap; PH Balanced - amzn.to/2V9ArNI
Wheel Brush: amzn.to/2H8C8H9
If you buy through the links YOUR PRICE is the same; but I do earn a small commission from Amazon.

WOW. This dude is the most informed and intelligent Evo owner I've come across. Thank you!
Thanks I appreciate the kind words!!
Why what he do what he said?
Bet he made this account and commented.
@@willsanders187 please see my comment and give me advice ...
i'm currently in the works of buying an evo 8 and this video was very helpful!
That’s awesome! This going to be your first evo?
Same
I'm the original owner of a modded 2005 LY Evo 8, 26K original miles, garaged, well maintained ....I plan to keep it as long as possible and hope to pass it down to my daughter
That’s freaking awesome! Definitely going to ensure you have a place to live when you’re old and need to live with a kid hahah
can i be your daughter? LOL.
This comment popped into my feed and I wondered why this person was asking to be my daughter hahah
Is it for sale..lol
sell it to me
As someone who's always loved Evos but never owned one.. this video is absolutely amazing. Thanks for the time man.
Appreciate it man! You should consider them they’re awesome ha
Haha love how the intro was so good and the quality of video then it goes back to his regular camera. It's like taking acid and then you snap out and reality hits.
Lol thanks
Great Evo info and I could tell you've owned them all. This dude clearly knows his stuff.
Thanks!
Nice video Will, very informative. I've just bought my first EVO here in the UK. A 2004 Black FQ330
Thanks and awesome car man! Post some IG pics and tag me I’d love to see it!
Steve SAS How much did you pay?
really great informative video dude. I've been looking at an '12 Evo X and I've been wondering whether to pay cash or finance because I've always been told just paying cash is better, but you made really strong points about that that cleared up my way of thinking. But otherwise great stuff dude! Subbed
Glad it helped! Cash is always king. Keep it whenever you can.
Great review. Much love from New Zealand
Much appreciated
Excellent review & advice !
Thank you for the information, I’ve always loved evos , never really knew much about them always loved them tho. I remember always buying them in need for speed games , gran tarismo .
Haha that’s how we all learned of cars... video games
will sanders which evo do you prefer ?
I’ve owned my 2005 Evo 8 gsr in Rally Red since 2008, and just hit 106K miles last month. I’ve been daily driving it for the past 10 years and it’s been amazing. It took me 2 years to find a stock Evo...only had 23k miles at the time. This is the most informative video I’ve ever seen on buying an Evo. Good job!
That's awesome man! Stock or full receipts is the best way to make them last! Thanks for the support:)
Bought my 2006 MR new. Got it tuned at EIP in San Jose and it picked up about 30 whp. Just turned 30,000 miles and aside from tires, just regular maintenance. I never race, but I don't drive like an old lady either. The car attracts a lot of attention from people who know cars. I plan to keep it forever. Life is too short for boring cars.
‘06 EVO IX RS in Wicked White with MIVEC is the ultimate Unicorn of EVO’s! Less than 354 worldwide made just one year. For the pure performance guys, it’s the one to have. Can’t believe they are not higher in price on used market.
No one wants to deal with lack of power windows. Most people don’t even know they exist
Wow! This video is gold. Thank you very much.
9s are pretty rare in Norway. They are at like 55k+usd. Even tho I love the 9, I probably going to try to get an 8 for my first. They are around at 35k-40k here.
Sheesh... guess that’s the price you have to pay to live in someplace so beautiful though!
Thank you sooo much man just saw this vid and already helped a lot finnaly a good EVO page on TH-cam just subbed to man 💯
No problem man glad I could help! Thanks for the sub as well!
will sanders what was your Insta again I heard it on a vid but I can't find it anymore ?
It’s on my channel page if you ever need it but @will8050
Great Video! They are great cars! I still have my 03 Evo 8 first few in the US. There was no models yet. So it's just the 8.
Ah.... simple times.
I love how you put up the WRX for a brief second when talking about modding lmao
Gotta get the jabs when you can
Wow I'm saving up for a evo 8 and your video has really helped! Hi from the u. K!
Awesome! I appreciate it. Sorry for the late reply. Keep in mind UK specs are different
@@willsanders187 oh yeah, we have more of a option! I. E the evo 6 and 7 is well! 😁 # what's the main difference between the 7 and 8!
I know 6 to 7 was a big change
Thank you for the video , what do you like to invest in now , also I like your channel and list of cars you used to own!
Thanks I appreciate it! I don’t invest in cars lol. Stocks mostly.
Man you guys are missing out on the older versions lol. Great video man
Sorry for my late response. Yes we definitely are. Thanks for the support!!
In 2007 the evo 9 SE was released. Although technically not a new car but I guess that was Mitsu’s way to refresh the 9
I own a 9 RS and love it. I daily drive it and it has been extremely fun. Honestly if I could afford another car project I would probably go for the 8 since it’s cheaper but I contemplate a X MR as a new daily.

I actually have smaller side Mirrors (APR carbon mirrors). I do plan on removing the A/C as I don’t ever use it.
I’m not sure if removing the fuse would have the same effect or not. I never think about it unless I have to slam the brakes.
The X’s do ride completely different. No a/c here is terrible I did it my first summer with this Evo. The problem is humidity.
@vicmreyes I was going off memory so your prob right. I just know I saw one after I bought mine and was pissed I didn't wait!
Name User
Truthfully I have only locked up the brakes once. It was still on stock pads and rotors due to an idiot who decided to slam on their brakes. It stayed pretty straight with no real issue. Now I run Stop Tech sport pads and slotted rotors and it’s pretty good other the the occasional pad material transfer which makes it feel like I have warped rotors lol
Bough an Evo X MR 2009 with 40k miles for 16k USD..in love with it. All stock(don't wanna mod it) and using it daily.. I'd say the only thing I hate is the suspension.. quite harsh.. but meh.. still having a huge smile each time I just drive it.
That’s awesome and a phenomenal deal too! Funny I loved the suspension in my MR but compared to my RS it may as well been an S-class ha
Very informative. Love the vid bro🤘
[‘14 X MR Touring]
thanks!
Thanks for the interesting informative video.
Q: was your Evo 8 RS came with stock steel wheels?
finally some good information , thanks
Welcome!
Great video, subbed!
Thanks!
I really miss my Evo 8. As soon as I pay off my current loan I am going to get another one. Nice video man
Thanks I appreciate it! Good luck on the hunt:)

Great video!! thank you so much
No problem! Hopefully it helps you. Are you shopping for an Evo?
Let me open with this- you are obviously super educated about these cars and you taught me a ton of stuff I didnt know. I liked the video and subbed. One thing I entirely disagree with is you saying that you shouldn't pay cash for a car. You cant think of any reasons why anyone would want to? What about not having to worry about car payments every month or losing money on interest? Or just being in debt in general? Personally I believe the only thing it's acceptable to make payments on is a house. American culture is all about instant gratification. How many people have car payments or have a ridiculous amount of credit cards, etc etc is a perfect indication of that. And that's coming from an American. Work, save, have no debt, and pay cash for your stuff. You'll be a whole lot more successful monetarily. Again, all that being said, fantastic video. I watched the whole thing. I'd love to hear your argument for making payments.
my interest rate was 3%... the average return is 6-8%. So by paying cash and "saving interest" it would have actually COST 3-5%
Had brand new 03 Evo 8. Brand new Evo 8 RS. RS was fully build. And also had used modded 2008 X. Which was a pain in the ass! Best way is to start fresh, with low miles. Evo 8 and 9 is more raw. The X is more luxury and can be fast, but making serious power and easier to work on is the 8,9 for example turbo location. I'm still thinking to buy another X but with super low miles and fully stock. It's harder to find the 9. And I'd like to see one in person. Btw. 2008 Evo and below had stickers on each panel , that way you know it's never been hit. Hood. Fenders. Doors. Rear trunk. Fenders. Yet evos are pretty cheap to modify and to fast compared to other cars out there. Including fixing them. Great video btw. Cheers
Agreed but stock is getting harder to find especially low miles. But as proven I’ll still take stock over modded even if it means higher miles. Maybe you should stop selling them! Ha obviously you come back
@@willsanders187 right? i found evox with 14k miles, 100% stock... 1 owner.
My 14 MR was 19k miles 1 owner. It’s a make you feel good feeling
Amazing info thank you
Welcome! Glad it helped
Great video!!
Thanks I appreciate the feedback!
Your video is very helpful. I just sold my 240sx that I’ve owned for five years and I’m planning on getting an evo 8 or 9. Those cars are a little hard to come by from where I live. In the meantime I’ll continue to save up when the time comes.
Hey that’s great the video helped. Just have to be patient with Evos. I searched on and off for years
89' 240sx best
great video bro! I had a evo 8 lined up today but it had rust on the rocker panel. I'm still thinking about purchasing in. The insurance is insane in NJ for a evo. I found a cleaner evo but more than I have at the moment.
Better to be patient usually. Could always have a body shop give you an estimate and factor into your offer
@@willsanders187 the dealer only wants 12K with 129. Timing belt and water pump just done. The dealer is firm on that price. All stock but exhaust.
depends on the year and overall mechanical conditions
I know not having ABS does have a limit. We still have power brakes so we can lock up with really aggressive pads to dangerous levels. I've contemplated having the power removed. Buschur makes a kit, but it hasn't been an issue so far.The SE def had the BBS and that's what I was most upset about. O well, I kept the BBS wheels from my X MR.....
Never forget that EVO's are the most reliable car.... hands down!!! Mine breaks every month, but considering that I can get 570whp out of a stock 4b11 it's a lot of fun mixed with a truck load of frustration. My 2011 EVO X has my wallet by the balls so keep that in mind when buying an EVO. Remember:DRIVE FAST AND TAKE CHANCES😜
Cheap, fast, reliable. Pick 2.
😆😆😆😆😆😆
Wonder how would it run with just simple bolt ons. 450 would be enough for me
What happened to the 4G63T
Time
I'd like to hear you go into more details about your philosophy on purchasing cars via credit instead of cash. Can you go into more details about your credit union and how you personal finance the vehicles you purchase?
@will sanders
i would like to hear more about this as well
Damn so much info u should make a video about what is best and why is bad or good buying cash or financing and things like that focus on Evos and also more about insurances if full cover or not also i have a personal question should i buy a ralliart cash or shaould i wait more time and buy a Evo ? TY
I have more videos you may find useful. Under my Evo 101 playlist. That said I’d never pay cash for a car though. Thanks for watching and the kind words!
Hey bro great video ! I know it’s been a while since you uploaded this but I am recently in the market for an evo 8/9 and I found one that is a very good deal with only 70k miles but it has an SRS light occasionally turning on. Should I be alarmed of this ? I know it could mean faulty airbags but idk If that is entirely true considering it comes and goes ?
Thank you!
sorry just saw this. msg me on IG ThatWillSanders if you have questions still
One day ill buy one, hopefully. I live in alaska, all evos or stis that come up for sale are heavily modded, high mileage, rec tittle and still are asking full clean retail price 😥
Well I mean... Alaska 🤷♂️. Kinda the price you pay ha. Need to just come to the lower 48 and drive one back
Quite the video. Great info - you’re very well spoken too haha
Thanks! Appreciate the kind words.
very helpful information.. thanks
Thanks glad you found it helpful!
@@willsanders187 yes i find it very informative.. thank you so much. evo is always my dream car but never had a luck of getting them =(
Just make a plan! Dreams are for sleeping.
Great work subbed😎 stay safe homies
Thanks I appreciate it!!
Great video! Shout-out to a fellow Cincinnatian. I live Down Under now and I'm hoping to pick up a JDM EVO 7 or 8 next year.
That’s quite the move! Job transfer or just got tires of 4 season weather on the same day?
@@willsanders187 quite a few reasons but mostly because of my fiancee. The weather definitely doesn't hurt though! The coldest month barely dips below freezing on a couple of days.
Ugh I hate you ha! It’s been 20’s and 30’s all week and now it’s raining for days. Seriously though that’s awesome and cool you found the videos. Let me know if you ever visit or buy an evo!
@@willsanders187 thanks man! I wish I knew about your channel sooner, I was literally just there at the end of November! Haha
Ha no worries next time!
Awesome video! How come with the MR you say to expect to change the transmission? Is there something that goes wrong with it?
if you're hard on it i.e. autoX or racing it just isn't as strong. As a normal car it's fine
why did i just watch this whole video, i'm 15, don't live in the US and i'm kinda a wrx fanboy and will buy a wrx before i buy an evo. but they are cool
Because your a car guy and real car people can respect other cars.
Donkey Rider: ... because you think they are cool. Stop asking questions that you already have the answer to. 2004 STI = best WRX ever.
i agree 2004's are the best
fwh79 tbh 2005 is overall better w cleaner interior and upgraded suspension, but yea I think blobeyes are the cleanest looking Subies
I've been a Mitsubishi guy since I got my license, but goddamn I love the 11-14 WRX
Can you daily drive an evo 8/9? I found a clean evo 8 mr for about 23k. It's really great but I'm not sure if I can daily drive it.
what different between EVO9 MR and EVO9 GSR?
So if I want a Evo that looks like an MR which what I mean by that is having the vortex generators and that stuff I should just buy it after market and install it on a GSR? Another question I heard that the MR’s hood an fenders are lighter because they have different metals, would this make a difference from the gsr or the se Evo 9? Right now there’s a Evo 9 mr that’s selling for 32,999 and it’s bone stock except for a exhaust and it has a Europe break light on the rear bumper. It has only 36,000 miles and it’s dark grey from the factory. It’s in Illinois and I live in. California. Like I said the only reason why I want an mr of because of the lighter hood and fenders, the boost gauges that came stock with the MR and the bbs wheels. I’m barley gonna turn 16 this November and I’m hoping of buying one when I graduate in 2020. I hope you can clear this up and if the MR for 32,999 I listed is worth it or not or should I get a SE for the 5 speed transmission
Hey man great video, so instead of saving up for another year n buying a 20k evo 9 I should lean towards a credit union ? N find one cash? Maybe even negotiate on the price too
Credit unions “can” have more flexibility with financing older cars. I wouldn’t ever pay cash
Holy shit, these Evos are so cheap Stateside. Over here in Kenya, a stock 10 from 2008/9 will cost you around $22,000+ while 8's and 9's run between $18,000 and $35,000. Funny how things are more expensive in poorer countries, while financing is more expensive and incomes are lower. That said, we're lucky as we get JDM units and some UK FQs for import. Thanks for the video.
Yea the world is funny that way. There’s just less cool cars than there is rich people so prices go up. I’d love to have more lenient import laws!
Ya
I think it's funny people who charge $5-10K more selling a car with bolt-ons automatically thinking it improves value or they'll want you to pay extra to buy back the stock parts they pulled off the car
Best case mods don’t lower value in my opinion. Maybe if you happen to have the EXACT mods/ brands I planned to buy
@@willsanders187 they do lower value since the engine has had more power put through it, increasing wear. same thing as increasing milage.
Good points generally people who mod drive harder despite them always say they don’t haha
So does this mean that an RS is really for racing specs. MR with slight tune with a little addition performance. GSR is like the stock and low end evo with no MIVEC. Is this true? I mean I'm trying to buy an EVO9 and the mods that I probably made is a little tune to the performance. Maybe doing something with the turbo lag. Idk much or anything about modification so I open to suggestion. Thanks for the help
RS is more race geared where GSR is everyday amenities. MR is kinda both together
Mitsubishi should watch this for lessons learned and apply this guys analytical skills on product knowledge and then train their sales people to have this type of details...they may sell more cars... but then they need to make another EVO (don't remake like the Eclipse to non relevance with the EVO nameplate). Mitsu is under Nissan now so they won't allow EVO in any form unless they need to make quick money
Appreciate this! And I’d rather they keep the evo dead vs some bs crossover crap!
Great video!! I've been wanting to buy an Evo 8/9 for years. I've noticed the prices have not dropped. I should buy one this year before the prices start going up. Wife's friend's boyfriend let me drive his 8 about 2 weeks ago in turn i let him drive my Silverado SS, I've got that itch for turbo power again.
Idk where you live but since you said Silverado I’m assuming US? You’re right about them not dropping. In fact US prices have actually been rising slightly the last couple years. They are very addictive cars
Liked and subscribed. Thanks for your video, very informative.
I'm looking for an evo 8 right now. I heard that 03-04 evo 8 don't have LSD except RS, but the 05 evo 8 has LSD and ACD. Is it worth to pay the extra for them? I plan to keep it stock or simply bolt-on for daily, and maybe bring it to the autocross or track later (very very occasional).
As a road car you certainly don’t need either. Though, if we’re being honest an Evo AS A ROAD CAR isn’t needed. We want Evos and all the tech they bring. That said,having owned an Evo 8 and X at the same time, I say you’d be hard pressed to notice any difference under any type of remotely sane driving. So really it’s how often will you track and how competitively. Keeping in mind it’s more that can break as the cars age.
Thank you so much. Your channel will become famous in the future.
Ha! Idk about all that but I appreciate the support!
Evos have stopped the depreciation process and started the appreciation process
i am so totally confused here.if money allowed i would go for an evo X mr,so am looking at IX mr,only to hear gsr is better?just saw an evo X gsr going for USD$12000,sweet deal.BUT is evo x better than ix in performance?please help
Sorry for late reply! See latest videos for explanation. X’s are still new enough that they are depreciating whereas IX’s are stable if not rising. 12k for a X concerns me that’s really cheap. GSR IX is better value; both are good
Should I buy an 05 evo 8 that 100k miles and the owner has a 272 cam in to it and a few supporting mods and a fully built head, it has a rebuilt title but he’s asking $12,500 for it and he doesn’t have the ac bolted up, is that A good deal for an evo of that sort ?
First, sorry for late response. See latest videos for explanation. To answer your question no ******* way should you buy that car
Hey! Good info mate very helpful! What about the wagon Evo? Haven't really come across anybody talk about them!
Not a bad idea! I also wonder about them whenever I stumble across a pic of one.
For the ozzys evo 7 same platform awesome evo aswell
Good to know! Thanks
Great video. I do have a question. Im young, and not really familiar with the technical side of cars (yet). Is there a good like "checklist" you would recommend for things to look for? Like you said cold start, receipts if its modded. Im just kinda afraid to get something because im so inexperienced.
I have some Evo specific videos:

@@willsanders187 Thanks... really appreciate it. U have great vids...
loving my evo 9 2006
I do miss mine. Should have held on to it
Trading my 5gen Camaro ss for a evo as soon as I find the right one , leaning towards a 8 ... video helped a lot
Glad it helped! IF you have any questions let me know!
If you buying evo jus make sure its been serviced whelk and no rust if you’re going for a highest horsepower Evo make sure it’s a five speed because Limitado any evil you get your going to have to put money into it on maintenance such as wheelbearings and other things
Amazing video bro. I’m getting an evo in 2 weeks but i have a 21hr journey to get it. Not being able to see everything in pictures due to it being in a dealership kinda scares me. Any extra tips what to look for?
Thanks!
I feel your pain. I drove about 16 hrs round trip to get mine when flights were cancelled due to snow. Assuming it's not a Mitsu dealer I would have a PPI (Pre-Purchase Inspection) done. This will be at your cost but the dealer will help you coordinate with the closest Mitsu dealer. It's prob going to cost you a 2-3 hundred but well worth it. This will check for any evidence of wrecks, tire and brake life, engine strength etc. Other than this you chan check bolts around intake and turbo for signs of removal if it's supposed to be stock. PPI will check VINs but never hurts to look yourself and make sure they all match.
If it's an Evo 8 or 9 it's likely to have syncro issues. Drive under throttle and shift 4-5 quickly and it will grind. It's nothing you need to worry about as they all do it; however, use it to negotiate about 800-1k off for a trans rebuild. The trans won't fail on you because of it; it's just annoying.
Lastly, I high suggest you fly to see car. Otherwise, your going to be exhausted when looking/signing paper work and that can cause you miss obvious issues or be taken advantage of during negotiations.
Let me know how it goes!
will sanders thanks brother i just screenshotted this so i can go back to look at. And i will let you know what happens. Do i cal the dealership for that inspection.
The selling dealer will need to drive or likely have flat-bedded to Mitsu dealer. You will obviously have to pay for this. Depending on the dealer they may help you arrange all this or you may have to do yourself. If you have to do it on your own call Mitsu and they can pick up car for a fee. You will still need to coordinate with selling dealer. Typically, selling dealer will help you coordinate all of this.
Also don't forget that the Evo 8
MR has a higher top speed and will actually go over 175 mph stock. I did that in my RR 2005 RS. The Evo 9 and Evo X will be limited to 155 despite having more torque. There were only 300 Evo 8 RS for the States. 150 Evo 9 RS for the States due to only one model year. Also there were only 1000 Evo 8 MR and 1500 Evo 9 MR for the States. The Evo X was better at handling but it was slower than the Evo 9 due to weight. I've owned a 8rs, 8mr, 10gsr and now the proud owner of a 9mr!
You have a problem. Trust me I recognize the symptoms
How is it with the older evo's ( i live in germany)? Would you recommend building an evo 4, 5 or 6 for bigger horsepower (500-600)? where are the big differences between the older and the newer ones when your'e looking for power. I ask that because you really monstly see 8s 9s and 10s on youtube making big power which confuses me a bit because in fact enginewise they are the same as the newer models :) you'd really help me out with an answer on this comment thank you love your content 👍
Hey hello to Germany! The internet is so cool that we get to converse like this. You bring up some good points and while we unfortunately don’t have any Evo’s prior to the 8 I think your ideas make complete sense. I think the TH-cam issue is 2 fold. 1- newer Evo’s are more popular... therefore more views. 2 - in my experience a lot of TH-camrs are US based; again nothing prior to the 8. Appreciate the support! If you do decide to build an Evo definitely let me know!
will sanders thanks for the quick answer i only wanted to know if i might haven't thought about something important on the older models but i also think it is how you mentioned. Most Evo content really comes from the US and i guess I'm not the only one from europe thinking about building an older model. But now I know and i'll let you know when i start my project:) keep up the great content👍
I thought about buying an Evo 1 being legal now in US but idk just seems too old but and Evo 4/5/6 makes total sense. Thanks for the kind words! Good luck!
Personally I say the Evo 4/5/6 are the best evos, you mostly see 8/9 because that was what the US got. 4/5/6 has the same engines as the 7/8/9 although the 9 has Mivec.
The older evos are lighter and have the same engine. Basically if you want a fast fun car go 4/5/6... if you want more of a daily driver go 8/9 (has better interior)
Nicholas Seeto your'e absolutely right dude:)
Will the motor and drive train on the 8 fits right into the 9 ?
evo 10 has torque vectoring right? doesnt that make a massive improvement for handling when you have high hp?
I think it helps regardless the hp
what about 6 and 7 series? How they place between the 8 or 9
not in the us
Will I am thinking of getting a evo 9 for my first car is it worth all the problems it brings with buying the car
They really are not problem cars. People mod them incorrectly and make them problems. Parts cost more sure and you can buy a much newer, or completely new, car for the money. As a first car it just depends on your threshold, ability and finances for fixing issues likely caused by previous owner(s)
what do you think about buying a high mileage 2010 evo gsr? im talking about 160k plus kms on it. but completely stock tho? thinking about getting one early 2019.
Mileage is just a number. If it has documented maintenance should be fine
I’ve always wanted an evo, since the 8/9s came out. The way the market is for them and the condition they come in, i don’t believe I’d ever own one :(
You have to really want one. There’s no real logic to owning one lol
Answer for the thumbnail: Definitely yes
Why? People nowadays treat these kind of rally cars are supercars
Pretty much. Values seem to have leveled and are going up
Hi, I'm a newbie of driving, but I really like the Evo 9 and I don't have another car. I wanna let Evo 9 become my first car. Do you think it's worth it for me to buy an Evo 9 for regular driving?
no I would look for an 8
@@willsanders187 why? I don't like the triangle on the front bumper.
So what are the best years and performance between the lancer and Subaru???
Can’t say for Subaru’s but Evos are probably 03-05
Definitely know how to work on engines if you get an evo it’s a lot of fun but a lot of work trust me🙏🏼
I own a FBO evo x GSR for 4 years. Clutch, R. diff, and wear and tear. Probably costed me 4k to replace those. I drove it for about 50k miles. I miss it everyday.
Hopefully not the first 50k
Was wondering why did you convert back to the evo 8/9 when you had the 10?
was it a bad car or anything?
The 10 is awesome. But if I can have but 1 then the 8/9 is what I’d take.
@@willsanders187 If you don't mind me asking why? is it the trunk ?
I found an Evo 8 Gsr with 14k miles for 25000 are they're any good guides to pricing that I could use to ensure I'm not over spending for a particular year or model?
Low mileage cars are harder to judge. Depends on year, mods, condition and rather or not it’s original
what am I looking for in terms of price range when I'm looking for an evo? I'm looking at an evo 9 for 20k at around 130k km. think it's reasonable?
Using metric so obviously not in the US. Hard to say then really. Knowing nothing but mileage and price (assuming USD) then it may be ok for US market but could be an awesome, or terrible, deal in another country.
PLEASE someone help i want to buy evo but wheere i live there is only 1 evo for last 10 months and i am afraid to go on because its modified with built engine the parts are :
1) built engine with stoker 2.3l and seller says built with tomie parts .
2)ecu motec m800.
3)tein mono flex coilovers.
4)turbo gtx3076 gen 2.
5)clutch master 850 twin light. 5 gear manual.
6)Diaphragms ..
its evo 9 gsr comfort with about 65km on it, keep in mind i really dont know thing about the parts and its the only evo out there, its only uses 98 gas please tell should i give it a try, and the seller says its very well maintained with best oils filters and so on ...
#@will sanders any opinion please thanks
Good Info!!!
Question... I'm moving to Germany this month and is very hard to find an Evo X over there. I contact one guy in Germany , he has an EVO X 2008 SSS US spect a say US Specs because I want to take the car back to USA, with 66,000 mile on it and like 10k modification. The car has 489 WHP and he is asking for 25,000 dollars. What do you think about that?
Thanks for your help!!!
Hey thanks! To answer your question it can be tough to know if it’s a good deal. Did he do the mods himself or did he have a reputable shop with receipts? If it was a shop I’d assume it’s somewhere in Europe so you’d need to research them. Also, making big HP can be done cheaply if they cut corners; and is it a dynojet or mustang dyno?
Alternatively, how long you going to be in Germany? There’s so many cool cars in Europe we don’t get in the US, older Evo models for example, that you could buy and enjoy during your time and just sell when you leave.
Hi , He did the mods in integratedperformance.net and he just told me the that the dyno was a virtual dyno . He tuned the car in California and the car had been in Germany since 2017.
Thanks for your fast answer!!!
Like you said the market in Europe is different. That’s probably not the best deal here in the states but could be an awesome deal there. I’d maybe look at auto trader (or equivalent) and see what people are selling. Try to find a European Evo forum and see what they think. In the end it’s got to be a car your happy with though!
Ok, I will do my research to get a Euro specs maybe I can get and FQ-400 !!! Thanks a lot !! Have an awesome day!!!!
bj231bj whatever you end up with let me know. Especially if it’s an FQ!!
Im looking at a 2005 evo 8 gsr with bolt on 100k miles for 12.5k sound like a good deal? Rebuilt trans and case.
Just depends. Honestly, it seems kinda low for a good car which makes me think there are problems. Also, why was the trans and such rebuilt? Idk seems odd
I own a 2005 Evo 8 MR in 2018. Just bought it a few months ago actually.
Best fkn car ive owed ! Im making 460hp with basic bolt ons an a good tune.
Yep! Super easy to mod. Unfortunately, that’s what causes a lot of issues for people who mess them up. Enjoy it!!
Yeah I see most people adding stuff without tuning them an blowing them up, or launching them an blowing the t case. But overall if you do it right an drive it respectively, the car is a beast an will last. !!
Hey guys im about to pick up an 8 or 9 .... but the prices are all over the price .... can you point me to an evo forum and also great work✊️
I picked mine up for 18k, 103k miles, one owner an only had a greddy exhaust. Find one thats not too modded an youll be good.
8 or 9 is a good choice, just stay away from the 6 speed trans or swap it to a 5 speed like I did. Also evolutionm.net.. Follow me on IG @punchlinejswaps
Evom is a good forum. The prices vary for many reasons. A lot of them have very visible issues if you know what to look for. Also, the 05 differs a lot from the 04 and 03. Lastly, the ixs hold higher value
I have a few questions i am thinking about buying a 10 evo x 10 se has 69 k and the guy wants 19 k is that a good deal thinks for your input
depends on condition, mods etc but its in the ball park
Nice video ! Here in Canada we never had previous evo's, I had 5 evo x gsr and MR now I am in the market for a evo IX MR that have been import, very rare here... what do you think of the evo 9 vs evo x ? Thanks
I've talked about this in a video and basically boils down to people are crazy to buy an Evo IX.... mostly. You've owned a bunch and obviously love them so if you are going to pay a fortune to import you may as well import the one you want! You could be one of the few who actually should buy a IX.
will sanders yeah I have found one here in Quebec no accident history that is very rare.
I never realized they weren't sold in Canada. So basically you're all stealing from us ha!
will sanders haha yes but they are all salvage title ! Exept one that im looking at..
Well good luck and let me know how it turns out!
Hey dude. Whitch evo is the best family car? I have 2 kids one is four and the other is 8 months old evo 8, 9 or x? // thanks four your vlogs, a fan from Sweden
Evo X for sure. Safer, more reliable (newer), more standard equipment. Than you for being a fan! Mostly though, thanks for not buying a crossover, just because you have kids!
will sanders thanks man.. I use to own a evo 3 but I sold it when our first girl was born in 2014!
That’s so cool to have older evos! But I probably wouldn’t drive around in 25 plus year old eco boxs with my own newborn
Lol.... I have a minivan..damn it
You think An Evo 9 GSR may be Good to me if i use it to go to college? Cause u know its fun drive it that sound i love it. the car is amazing but for daily driving and having some fun u think it's a good decision?
I had an Evo 9 GSR in college. Good way to make college even more overpriced hahah but it was fun
@@willsanders187 hahaha Ok Thanks firts youtuber that reply new sub 💖
Really? That’s terrible! I’m far from perfect but I try to respond to questions albeit a bit slow at times
what's the difference between GSR and MR?
Does EVO8 have AYC in north America?
Great video man keep it up !
Thanks!
U need to on fb evo forums bunch of people would appreciate ur knowledge 🔥
Guys it’s an evo, it’ll give you problems but it’s a racecar, you’ll still love it but yeah get them you can easily build them and beat other cars haha but 7,8,9 is the best 🤣‼️🤟🏽
Well said!
Can you do a video about the Evo 7 GTA, nobody has covered much on the GTA and they are far more affordable than a manual EVO 7 and above, I'm planning on buying a GTA because it's cheap and in my budget and I will put a Evo 9 body kit on it so it looks clean
which year evo should i buy? (evo 8&9)
Both. It’s like baseball cards better to have a complete set.
See my Evo 8 vs 9 video :)
I have driven all working part time with my brothers friend importing evos from Japan and my brother is a mechanic and the best there is , is the Evo 3 rs and evo 4 rs
We’re close to being able to get those here!!
will sanders i'm thrilled to hear that , can't wait !!! would love to see some new content
Evo will be back any day now!
Looking into buying a Evo X. Cannot decide between GSR or MR. MR is getting lots of bad rep because of the transmission AND if I buy a GSR, I would need to learn a manual. Any thoughts?
My X video will be live tonight or tomorrow morning but my opinion is I loved the MR transmission and would have no problem owning another. I think it’s still a good idea to learn a manual though!
I just picked up a "GSR" evo, we call it a cj lancer here in australia. I test drove the dual clutch Evo and was bored out of my mind. Manual hands down mate!
Saji Shrestha trust me learn manual and you will never go back i promise you good luck stay safe ..... 😎
Getting ready to buy an evo x today with 20k on it all stock...I live in the cincinnati area as well over in Indiana
NICE! Let me know how it goes!
will sanders will do
Jordan Hyde woow great deal
Jordan Hyde yo hit me I live in Cincinnati to! we can go for a cruise I have an STI though!!
