This guy is super chill and very well spoken. Clearly he's a high level enthusiast of EVOs. Absolutely love talking to people like this, you learn a lot.
It is so satisfying to see long-term, one-owner cars. I once met a guy who bought a fabulous Mercedes W140 in 1997, and has it to this day. It's the only car he has ever owned. 425,000 km.
Yeah especially enthusiast cars. It’s one thing to have a 200,000 mile daily driver type car but it takes dedication to put that many miles on a sports car.
I've owned many cars. The Evo 9 is the one of the cars I really regret selling... Nothing like it in its price point. Considering I picked mine up in 2015 from the original owner for $14k. It was all stock too. Hurts just typing about it.
Mine was Wicked White purchased brand new from South Cal and shipped to Texas. Put 60k miles before I sold it never had an issue with it 0. I did replace the clutch when I got tuned making it full bolt on Exedy stage 2 clutch. I got back over 20k for it. I miss that car so much. I have more than enough to buy another however I am expanding my business, so I am more focused on that. I will buy another for sure within the next couple of years thinking late 2024 or early 2025 idgad if it cost 60k I'm buying another and keeping it.
It's amazing he managed to get that kind of mileage out of it even with all of the repairs he had to do. Usually when you see an STI or an EVO near 200,000 miles they're pretty much ragged out... I guess that's a testament to how much better something's maintained when it's owned by one person who gives a crap.
Most of those "ragged out" ones are driven by children that are trying to recreate Fast And The Furious scenes., beating those poor cars to hell.... This man has class and has taken care of his ride.😊
I'm at an older guy when I've just purchased my Evo and he was getting ready to sell his and he gave me some pointers but he had 250,000 MI on his Evo 9 and the cool part was he was pushing 400 wheel for about 150,000 of those miles the thing that killed it was the turbo blue and the engine ate part of the turbo. He drove it responsibly and change the oil frequently he said he did have fun in it but wow pretty cool story.
I like how he was so humble and spoke good about the evo and sti he has respect towards both of them not like all these kids online where they praise the evo and talk down on the sti and other cars
I've got this one beat. I bought my Apex Silver Evo new March 10 2004. It also has the factory power sunroof that still works flawlessly. It now has 270,000 miles. It blew a head gasket that also cracked the block about 20,000 miles ago. I had my friends at Concord Mitsubishi in Concord CA completely rebuild the engine and go thru the entire car, replacing anything it needed. Only on it's 2nd clutch. Still a daily driver that's lived in a garage it's entire life. Had the CF wing re-cleared, but the painted is still nearly showroom condition. It has 18" forged aluminum rims and a CF front lip spoiler. Interior has the same Recaro seats, but covered in two tone leather with a CF pattern in it. All CF interior trim, but has a custom stereo system. It's had all maintenance and has run exclusively on Mitsubishi recommended Mobile 1. Never been in snow, although I now live in Prescott, AZ. Paid $28k when new and I've been offered WAY above that many times in the last year. Also had it tuned by WORKS at Sonoma Raceway and with some of their bolt on bits and the P1 reflash makes a reliable 357 hp on their Mustang Dyno. The 18 year love affair continues! I also had 2 Eclipse GSX before it, a '90 and a '97. It's NEVER leaving my hands. It's fun and a legend
I'm the second owner of my evo 8 I did few changes cosmetically like jdm evo 8 headlights evo 9 se recaros , evo 9 jdm rear,jdm rear tails , built motor on 6266 forward facing
I also bought one of the first Evos back in 2003 and was also one of the first Works customers. It was a big fight between them and Vishnu back then and then Dyno Flash entered the fight for super cheap. Lots of forum drama. I loved that car and rue the day I sold it. Good on Eric for keeping his.
Had this weird neighbor lady who was in The cars talk to me she said she bought an 03 brand new also they gave her the wrong color so she got to drive the car for 6 months until they got her the correct one she ordered she was so excited cuz she got to put free miles on an EVO cool story
I'm also an original owner. One of the best car's ever made. 0 issues with mine, Graphite Gray, 06 IX. It was my Daily driver up until 2012. @ 108k I had it completely built by Buschur Racing in 2013. After that, I only take it out a couple times a year. Now @123k its hard to imagine ever letting it go. But it will happen one day. We don't live forever. Cool video, thanks for sharing.
This awesome! I’m also lucky to be the one and only owner of my 2006 evo 9 now with 135k miles. Haven’t driven it much the last 6 years. I’m also going through a refresh no major problems with my evo as well
Had one for 12 years 2004 Evo 8. 600hp ran 11.1 @ 131mph at the track and 150mph in the 1/2 mile. Did some hill climbs and a few open road races as well. When I sold it, it had 105k miles on it and as of a few years ago was reported to still be running fine on the original engine. Went through 2 transmissions, a center diff, a rear diff and 3 clutches. 6500 rpm clutch dumps are hard on the car. Additionally had to get the block decked and replace the head gasket due to overheating on a hill climb running over 30psi. Dialed it back to 27ish after that to keep temps in check. Fun cars if you like tinkering. If I kept it stock and didn't race the crap out of it, I'm sure it would have been even more reliable. That stock engine took some serious abuse at almost double the stock hp.
A buddy of mine has an Evo 9 and we always gave him a hard time about it being no different than an 8 or a 7 but he'd always educate us lol. Love these though, you can feel the rally heritage in them, they're quite raw and visceral compared to todays modern cars.
“ my Companion “ I completely love the fuck he called the car his companion that alone says so much about his relationship with the vehicle. I know it’s not common thing to like but really I love seeing high mileage cars
It wasn’t the car that I enjoyed, it was how this man loves this car and takes care of it. This car did everything he needed, a lil rocket, a great commuter and a great trip car, one car that does it all and you can tell many years to come!!!❤️
Much like Eric’s evo mines been super reliable and I’m never selling it. Super cool to see this , would be nice to see if it after the restoration process
My only experience with Mitsu was a 02' Diamonte and man that car was really damn nice. Only lasted 1.5 years and a few thousand miles before the tranny just quit. The previous owner did some engine work on it and suspect it wasn't well taken care of because in New Zealand they are everywhere. Sadly EVOs are almost unattainable now unless you want to pay through the nose for one with the miles this has. Might be the best looking 4-door car there is. Sitting on a 01' Celica GT-S and an 88' Supra currently.
awesome car for sure (im a subaru guy and still have the RS i bought back on 12/28/99)...it was the subaru RS from 98 to 01 sales that got subaru to bring the wrx to the us market in 2002...of course that sparked the competition from mitsubishi to bring the evo over...it was a great time
I remember these way back then, never had the money to buy one though. I did pass up on a Integra Type R back in 2000 and said I'd never make that mistake again and bought a 19 Type R to make up for it. I'm still happy to see Evos on the road!
Great video. Mine is at 200,000 miles, one owner. Maintenance is pretty typical of most Japanese cars, timing belt changes, gear diff changes at scheduled intervals and you should be fine.
For a time recently I honestly thought Mitsubishi would leave Canada. I always was puzzled why the brand never sold the Delia in Canada. I would argue it would be near equal to a Tacoma in off road ability.
In Canada we didn’t have the Evo for a long time. Some Evo 7’s had made it through before the government had got them(I think it didn’t meet bumper regulations at the time) so they got registered and daily driven. I had a 2003 Lancer Oz Rally Edition. If you seen 2 Fast 2 Furious. My Lancer looked like(the Evo) that but was bright yellow and the graphics were black. The first owner before me really loved F&F Series I think. It’s been one of the biggest regrets of all the cars I’ve owned. With the bumpers, graphics, it was really hard to keep it pristine in a Canadian winter. Hard to believe it would have been 20 years next year if I would have kept it. It was the only car show I did for a Mitsubishi Dealership at the time. It was one of the greatest experiences in my adult life. Thanks for showing us.
Yea the bumper this guy is looking for isn't the 9 bumper it is the jdm bumper. Also the factory ecu can be reflashed through the obd2 port. Tactrix open port is what you need.
I watched this in my tv but had to open the laptop to see the comments. I thought "the comments will be full wholesome". And that's exactly what I found :D
I've owned 2 STI's however my 1st brand new car I ever purchased was a 2006 EVO IX GSR. It was a privilege owing that car back in the day. Now I have a V8 IS500 (Only 500 ever made).
It's cool seeing a nearly stock Evo. It's funny because an Evo owner usually was a car enthusiasts and a Sti owner was usually a guy in the IT industry lol
I owned a Mitsubishi Galant GTi with the 4G63. Never had so many issues with a car as with that one. But when it drove it was pure joy. Now back at Honda.
The owner, Eric, seems like a very interesting person. He speaks very well. I'm working on being more articulate and use less filler words. Thst really stood out to me. Cool car, too!
My 06 IX MR has 105k on it. original clutch, never had a single check engine or issue. Everything works today. Now they make appliances (boring vehicles). I love my IX MR bought new still, turns heads..
Man..so much want!! So happy to see the love for this 00's classic. Owner knows his car 👏 These things are worth some coin now that they're discontinued and Mitsubishi is synonymous with the Kia/Hyundai of old.
I don't think I'd ever be able to buy one... But I'd totally love to drive one, definitely a modern classic. I may be able to buy an sti, but the Evo is the dream.
The sun roof didn't work properly on my 03 either. If he's willing to drop the headliner down I bet he can fix it for free like I did. There's three screws that hold the sun roof motor in place, two of them backed out while the center one remained in. The screws backing out is a fairly common issue on these.
It's a transverse mounted 4 banger, not a inline 4. I guess you can call it in line cause the cylinders are in a str8 line. I have a mk4 r32 with 200k, no issues
I've owned 2 evo 8s and my soul screams for another one. Had to let them go due to financial reasons. The ONLY complaint I ever had about them was the horrendous turning circle. But it's just part of it, apparently due to the awd. Wouldn't stop me getting another one.
Man I would have loved to see the stock air box on that thing but still very nice job keeping it original I've owned mine for 6 years third or 4 owner.. I don't think I'll be selling it ever...
So strange to see all the US channels talking about unreliable evos and generally all Mitsus unlike here in Eu where they are just bit under toyotas and Hondas. Or because we got all the french cars and VAG groups ones :D :D
🐸 My daily driven 1989 Volvo 244 GL NA has been to the moon, and back twice. Just took a trip to my sister's with it. Over 30 hours round trip. Average speed 80 Mph. Most cars are engineered to fail. Volvo 240's were engineered "not to fail"
I love these Evos for all the reasons stated! Mitsubishi really screwed themselves by not continuing this model or making more. They are truly a fantastic all around fun & practical car😎
Cars that are driven regularly run better. Garage queens will have mechanical issues because the fluids aren't being circulated, fuel gets old, brakes corrode etc.. Drive your car and drive it spiritedly from time to time.
I have a 00' s2000 and im going to keep most of it stock the same fact that theyre becoming collectable and i bought it for a gooood price 2 yeara ago. Not going to find one like mine as years go by.
Currently doing a full resto on a friends 217k mile 05 8mr. Good to see another high mile one being taken care of. Wonder how it looks underneath being a Colorado car
That's not true... They did make different models r they made the SSL which came with leather sunroof Tweeter speakers a sub or the regular which came with cloth interior also maybe the rs ? Not sure on that tho
RS, GSR, MR. I believe the SSL was an option on the top two models only. The RS model was a very stripped down version. Even came with manual windows. SSL Sunroof Subwoofer Leather.
Mitsu just needs an heritage program like Nissan I don’t think they should come out with anymore they may fuck it up. Just make parts again for evo’s and 3000GT VR4.
You guys do a lot of reviews at that adams county fairgrounds area down the road from my house. You’ll have to come out and review my 2022 X3M Competition when it comes in fresh off the line

I still own my 2001 BMW 325ci I bought beans new in Feb 2001.

Yup! Enthusiasts like him are the reason why we git some cars we weren't going to get.

Such a cool car. He has done some nice little touches to that car.
I was always in the Subaru camp back in that day but you have to respect the evo.
Same. Now though, I am not brand loyal and would own either one.

Awesome video! Great job by the owner taking care of this car and keeping it on the road!
It looks like the EVO petition to Mitsubishi was more effective than the GR Yaris petition to Toyota.
Have a beautiful day Everyone
I've owned 2 STI's however my 1st brand new car I ever purchased was a 2006 EVO IX GSR. It was a privilege owing that car back in the day. Now I have a V8 IS500 (Only 500 ever made).
It's cool seeing a nearly stock Evo.

Thst really stood out to me.
Cool car, too!
My dream car back in HS. Now its so expensive in my coutnry 😢.. owned a 2012 wrx sti, but my heart is leaning towards a evo 7 or 8
My 06 IX MR has 105k on it. original clutch, never had a single check engine or issue. Everything works today. Now they make appliances (boring vehicles). I love my IX MR bought new still, turns heads..
Man i wish i kept my Evo 8. probably one of the best cars i EVER owned.
Man..so much want!! So happy to see the love for this 00's classic. Owner knows his car 👏 These things are worth some coin now that they're discontinued and Mitsubishi is synonymous with the Kia/Hyundai of old.
I don't know why Mitsubishi stop making such great cars
Emissions
The owner is a legend
Im not getting rid of mines and its just the Basic CS3 but this EVO is in great shape compared to other JDM owners talking smack about the Lancers.
I don't think I'd ever be able to buy one... But I'd totally love to drive one, definitely a modern classic. I may be able to buy an sti, but the Evo is the dream.
The sun roof didn't work properly on my 03 either. If he's willing to drop the headliner down I bet he can fix it for free like I did. There's three screws that hold the sun roof motor in place, two of them backed out while the center one remained in. The screws backing out is a fairly common issue on these.
It's a transverse mounted 4 banger, not a inline 4. I guess you can call it in line cause the cylinders are in a str8 line. I have a mk4 r32 with 200k, no issues
Transverse and inline aren't related. Transverse is just the direction, not the design. You can have a Transverse inline 4, inline 6, v6, v8...
I've owned 2 evo 8s and my soul screams for another one.
Had to let them go due to financial reasons.
The ONLY complaint I ever had about them was the horrendous turning circle.
But it's just part of it, apparently due to the awd. Wouldn't stop me getting another one.
Man I would have loved to see the stock air box on that thing but still very nice job keeping it original I've owned mine for 6 years third or 4 owner.. I don't think I'll be selling it ever...
So strange to see all the US channels talking about unreliable evos and generally all Mitsus unlike here in Eu where they are just bit under toyotas and Hondas. Or because we got all the french cars and VAG groups ones :D :D
Glad I’m holding onto my evo 9 with 50k miles.
Great job Tommy ..
This is incredible. So many things about this is incredible. So so so many. I love this story. GAH

My daily driven 1989 Volvo 244 GL NA has been to the moon, and back twice.

I love these Evos for all the reasons stated! Mitsubishi really screwed themselves by not continuing this model or making more. They are truly a fantastic all around fun & practical car😎
Cars that are driven regularly run better. Garage queens will have mechanical issues because the fluids aren't being circulated, fuel gets old, brakes corrode etc.. Drive your car and drive it spiritedly from time to time.
as long as you don't shift at the SRS warning light, you're good for a million miles.
love one-owner cars
That car needs a lot of love from its owner... and a good interior cleaning XDDD
I have a 00' s2000 and im going to keep most of it stock the same fact that theyre becoming collectable and i bought it for a gooood price 2 yeara ago. Not going to find one like mine as years go by.
If only Mitsubishi still made the Lancer Evolution today 😮💨. Personally I think It would be cool 😎 if Mitsubishi made the Lancer EVO once again.
Please bring this car back to show it off with fresh paint!
hi you guys you need to do a no payment need with cheap oid cars with over 200,000 miles and keep the the great work
Still have my stock evo 9 SE....still stock...118k miles...😁
I miss my 2006 Evo MR. 188k on the original clutch HAHA
Currently doing a full resto on a friends 217k mile 05 8mr. Good to see another high mile one being taken care of. Wonder how it looks underneath being a Colorado car
That was my question too since I live where they use salt. Pretty awesome nonetheless.
This guy is awesome!
Ummmm, no test drive? Was that a Supra in the background near the end of the vid?
Yes. Yes it is
The best car, always
awesome
that evo is dope
That guy is a true 4G63 fan.
Such a beauty
That's not true... They did make different models r they made the SSL which came with leather sunroof Tweeter speakers a sub or the regular which came with cloth interior also maybe the rs ? Not sure on that tho
RS, GSR, MR. I believe the SSL was an option on the top two models only. The RS model was a very stripped down version. Even came with manual windows.
SSL Sunroof Subwoofer Leather.
The 4G63 is a great engine with maintainer they will easily run into the 200k+
cool car, cool owner
I'd like to see how much rust is on the bottom of it. I'm not sure if rust is an issue in colorado.
Mitsu just needs an heritage program like Nissan I don’t think they should come out with anymore they may fuck it up. Just make parts again for evo’s and 3000GT VR4.
Super cool
Tommy, that was a GT-R, not an Evo.
Better love story than twilight haha
The condition is not quite good, but given that its a driver's car.
Really nice, not pretentious, not over the top daily driver.
I have a 2007 Impreza 5 MT with 141,000 miles does it count if you have to replace everything but the motor ?
10:11 That’s why I don’t like screens in cars. It makes the cars look dated.

That will be the most sought-after year for the Evo.
Very nice 😀
