Awesome video, I bought my evo 5 years ago, a 2006 evo 9 MR with the SE appearance package, im the second owner and at the time it had 43k miles and i picked it up for $19,500. The previous owner needed money asap for his wife’s surgery, so i got a really good deal
Completely agree with you on price points, I got my Evo 9 just about 4 year ago now. The Evo was my first big purchase so I really wanted to see it, drive it and check it out. I was even gonna go so far as to take a flight to see the car, then ship it back. But I got lucky one night a GG Evo 9 with only 23,000 miles popped up online. The guy wanted 32,000 for the car but I saved and saved for months so I had a huge down-payment I saw the car it was in amazing condition and I knew it was the one. Went to a credit union applied for the loan and took the car home the following week.
That’s awsome man! An Evo with that amount of miles is worth way more than 32k now
How much was your down payment going into the credit union if you dont mind saying.?
I bought my current 2006 Evo IX SE almost exactly 6 years ago in 2016 from a Buick dealership for $19k. It had 112k miles at the time with less than 10k miles on a full long block engine build w/some mild head upgrades done by my guys up at English Racing (I was familiar with them already from my DSM days prior). The guys at the dealership honestly just didn't know what they had and I think were just eager to get rid of a car they didn't want to deal with, hence the low price. This was my 2nd Evo, the first being another 2006 IX that I purchased with 60k miles for around 20k, which I had unfortunately wrecked. The current Evo is now sitting at 500 WHP with a full ETS turbo kit (6062 Precision BB) and has 148k miles. Watching the prices in general lately and seeing this very well put together video (shout out to Miguel on this one) I am eternally grateful I was able to grab my Evo when I did. Prices really have gone crazy, but having driven DSM/Evos for more than 15 years now and never really falling out of love them, I totally get it. They are absolutely worth the hype!!!
2003 Evo 8. Bought it from the original owner in 2020 durring the “pandemic”. 70 year old man, retired from work in 2019 then car sat in the garage.
Got it for 9k cash. 150k miles, full service records since 2004, all the way down to weekly fuel receipts for work mileage payout . Zero accidents, all original paint, glass and vin tags on all body panels, including engine. One of those cars you never sell 💪🏽
Hopefully he moved near the beach and enjoys life.
Bought my Evo IX GSR on Friday just a few days after this video came out and even shopped some of the cars you showed listed. Good video, keep it up!
Very well done video Miguel. I’m probably an OG. I purchased my 2003 GSR brand new for $30,995. In another year this will be 20 years of ownership. I was just recently in the Georgia Mountains and there really is no other car capable of attacking those roads like an Evo. Just finished the timing belt and new clutch and brakes. If anyone is searching for an Evo this is definitely the time to buy now before prices eventually increase again. One again… great video and information.
The Toyota Corolla GR is
Great video by the way as usual 👌🏿🔥
Great thorough & concise video.
Love the clip, it’s super cool to hear all this awesome EVO news! I grabbed my 06 IX from the Mitsubishi dealer in NJ with 3 miles on it….as I type this comment, she is currently sitting at 68,300 miles. Garaged since brought home, stock all around except for a tune and full exhaust from o2 housing back. I will say it’s very humbling to be abled to say I own one. To all EVO owners and soon to be…hold on to that unicorn 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Wow great video!!! More like this!!
EVO 10 is my favorite. Good video!
I paid $18500 in LA 2 years ago, then followed up with $10k in motor repairs
Blown engine?
@@MiguelDsm ran great when I got it but the engine bay was super dirty. So I got the valve cover power coated. Motor was saved but it’s taking a lot of TLC. Save to say any evo under 20g these days is going to need some help.
I’d still rather 10k motor bills than a Subaru lol
There’s one here that makes 600hp runs on e85 for 23 no lights on the dash should I get it?
@@JAGLIFTZ Cali? Cause 600 will never pass legal smog, no lights just means has a tune, mine has issues that doesn’t throw check engine lights. I’d say send it if it’s a car your willing to keep for a long time 👍🏼
I still got my EVO 9 since 2006. I am 40 years old. I got 5 cars but EVO will alway be my favor there is no other cars that can replace EVO
Always hype when I get a new video notification,
Cheers!
Glad to hear! 🙏🏻
I paid $27,000 for it new in 2005. It's an MR with a light WORKS tune and 18" rims. I've been offered $40,000! Its in pristine condition and the engine has been rebuilt. I love driving it. I moved from CA to AZ and it's an extremely rare car here. Everywhere I go, it draws attention. I'm a single woman and I was 40 when I bought it, so not the normal demographic!!
Been waiting for this video
Long over due
I bought my 2003 EVO 8 new and I still own it, my EVO has 39,500 original miles on it. Just did a major refresh to the EVO, no plans on selling it.
Nice info, really makes you appreciate them more when the numbers are broken down. A little over 43k total imported to the states is nuts. So glad I kept my promise to myself and got my dream car. Got my 2013 Evo X last year for $20k with some good mods and healthy motor and trans.
You got a really good deal on it! Prices were insane in 2021
@@MiguelDsm thank you, he wanted $24k but lowest he would go was $20k, I offered $19k.
2006 IX MR with 75k miles, clean title. Came with 2 sets of stock bbs wheels. Bought it for 30k this summer in July.
Very cool insight into the pricing and how many were made! Would love to see if I can get my hands on either an Evo 8 or 9 someday!
Hope you do! Theyre special cars
Great video! I bought my 03 evo 8 Gsr for 13k in 2013 with 119,000 miles. Bone stock! I’m at 238,000 miles now and still runs super strong at 28psi on e85. The key is maintenance and a solid tune.
I’m sure you can sell it for the same if not more now
@@MiguelDsm way more if he’s in the pnw😭 shitty example evo 8/9/X’s go for minimum 22-30k around here
Recently bought my Evo IX MR, it’s been about 8 months now. I got it for 23k with 106k miles. Only downside is the clear coat got ate up on the roof. Basic bolt ons, Built head and stage 1 gsc cam done by speed element. Makes 350whp and 350wtq on 91. E85 is next step so I can really wake up this beast. Love this car also feels pretty good to leave those scatpacks and 5.0’s in the rear view mirror lol
I am planning to buy Evo 10 next year as soon as the snow clears out here in Toronto Canada! I can’t wait to daily drive my childhood dream car 🥹❤️afterwards I’m still thinking of shooting my shot at Evo 7 or 8 just to have it as a weekend toy! Sounds crazy but it’s something that pushes me every day towards my goals 💪🏻🙏🏻
You got it man! Hope you get them both 🤙🏼
I bought mine 3 years ago for $18k in Puerto Rico which is pretty rare even for that time
They were on average at $21k and up
Mine was a special situation
For me, around I think it was $28k CAD for a JDM 9 Wagon, not including shipping/transport costs. Part of my decision in buying it was actually your buyer's guide, so I knew what I was supposed to look for and ask about while I was searching for one, and I nailed a pretty good one (grade 4/B). I think you're pretty right on the money (heh, puns) with your assumptions of the prices of these. I've been seeing them consistently on the rise over in Japan, though they have gotten pretty stagnant in recent months, so I'm really expecting within 5 years it will be hard to not turn out a profit on one of these.
Just a matter of time before they keep going up
Do you think there will be a demand for the fq300/320/340/400 in the USA when they’re aloud to be imported from the uk? As they’re right hand drive and limited runs cars being fq rather than jap mrs..I have to mr 320
I bought my 2005 EVO 8 new in May 2005 for $28,900 + TTL
It currently has 26K miles on it and is mostly a garage queen, but I try to drive it when I can.
Crazy how this video popped up on my feed and i just bought my first evo today. Its a 2003 evo 8 gsr 106k bone stock, and its been sitting in the garage for the past 7 years after getting freshly painted.
Congrats on the purchase bro
Can’t wait for that dip, forsure going to get another Evo 9, would love to have two of them 🤙🏽
Bought my 05 Evo 8 SSL in 2007 w/18k miles for $27.5k. Currently has 162k miles and still love it like when I 1st bought it. I was actually in the market for an E46 M3 (drove a couple of em) at the time and tried testing out several other cars like 350z, Mazda speed 3 & 6, rx8, 06 sti, e39 m5, to name a few. None of em compared to the feel of the CT9A chassis.
Illiolololiko
Ok loli
quick question. what are like the best websites to keep an eye out for the evos? Im always checking cars and bids and other websites too.
Bought my 06 IX MR in September of 06 for 34,000 $ from the local Mitsubishi dealer with 13 miles on it.
Its Still in immaculate condition 16 years later , with 27000 miles on it.
You can sell that thing for a pretty penny now!
@@MiguelDsm Yeah, I don't know if I could sell it. Thats my baby. It'd have to be the right person and price. Not someone who will destroy it.
Got lucky and bought a clean EVO 8 around 6 months ago for only $20k. The guy I bought it from wanted a 9 and has 2 now I think.
I paid 30k +tax “new” from south coast Mitsubishi, California in June 2006 for my GSR Graphite gray evo IX. Still have her… hard to sale the car that you have so many great memories with. Only take it out a couple times a year for service or ride around the block. Haven’t even been to a car show with her in 4 years. Sad times have changed. The evo looks so good, Meanwhile you look 17 years older, LoL.
I’m planning on buying a EVO 9 or 8 just gotta keep my eyes pealed for those socal FB market place deals is where it’s at
Love the content brotha 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Joint the Evo groups as well. Good luck and thanks!
been trying to buy one since 2015 and have dreamt of one since 2003 when i was like 7 years old. next year as long as the prices dont increase too much I can finally see it happening.
I didn’t knew the Evo existed until I was 17 years old that’s when I fall in love with the car and dreaming of having one one day and finally at 22 years old stop dreaming and got an 03 yellow Evo for 10k I love it
I bought my 2014 evo x with 56k miles 3 years ago for 24k from private seller. Got a loan for it at the time and have 10k left to pay off. Currently at 64k Miles. I feel like I could’ve waited a bit or maybe picked up something with lower mileage but being 19 at the time it had to be reasonable with my budget/monthly payment wise. I did see a 2015 final edition with 23k miles that I wanted but I couldn’t justify spending 32k +tax at the time and paying 500-800$ a month with insurance especially since I lived alone and paid 1k in rent already. Turned 22 this year and just recently picked up a 90 eclipse GST. Sold my 91 crx and also bought a 90 ef sedan for cheap. I’ve owned 2 crx’s (90-91) an 89 240sx a 2010 civic si the newly acquired 90 eclipse gst and the evo x has been there since the beginning. Haven’t sold it, it had a place in my heart when my uncle got his in 2015. He upgraded to a turbo kit and all that and made around 600 on the stock block with cams springs and retainers. And took me for a ride in it before I ever got my license. It was The rowdiest thing I had ever felt and I wanted one.
I wanna get a evo 10 , I’m currently driving a 2020 corrolla and I just want a fun daily I can slightly mod but still keep its reliability would the evo 10 be something to look into?
I paid $19k for my Electric Blue Evo 9 with 102k miles in May of 2018. And last year was offered $29k cash sight unseen from a local guy but I couldnt do it as I know prices will continue to go up. I 100% agree with you. Prices will continue to rise as supply/demand changes.
I know you love that car too much to let it go anyways haha
@@MiguelDsm So true! Too many places to go and see yet!
I bought my 06 TB Evo 9 MR with Appearance Package back in April of 2020 for $25k. Bought it sight unseen from Portland, Oregon and had it shipped to SoCal. Best decision I made buying my dream car.
I love the set-up in the garage
I have a 2003 eco oz rally edition near the end of January this year nd so far it is reliable asf!!! I still need to work on some things with it so what would be some good mods for it? It’s stock automatic nd has a exhaust only atm
I feel you Fam
Got my 05 Evo 8 for 20k off of my buddy of 6 years. Little backstory, I met him through work and I used to dog/house sit for him all the time each time he would leave the Evo for me to drive as long as I didnt get a ticket etc. Now I only got into cars in 2019 so I had no clue why I would get looks or thumbs up whenever I drove it lol. I actually didnt like driving it because the clutch was so stiff lmaooo. Fast forward to now. I see why this car is so dope, I love everything about it and I enjoy meeting new people who acknowledge myself and the car. My buddy was the 3rd owner and he had it for about 8 years before I got it in spring of this year. This car has been in AZ and Cali its whole life with the last 13 years in AZ. The Evo is red with stock wheels and little to no rust. Paint is good for the age with the exception of the door handles being a little faded and the hood/front bumper having rock chips. Hope this helps! Gonna throw some context below but it jumped timing as you see why it had a rework! He originally posted the car for about 26k with all the stuff listed below.
2005 evo 8 SSL package
143k miles
New timing belt
New water pump
New valves
New head resurface
New alternator
New starter
New fuel pump and filter
Aftermarket parts:
Kelsford 272 camsafts
GSC Beehive titanium valve springs and retainers
Walboro 255lph fuel pump
Mishimoto radiator and slim fan
GSC zero tick lifters
Competition Clutch 2600 stage 3
ETS lower intake pipe
ARP headstuds
I just purchased my first evo it’s a 2006 Evo IX GSR in red and stock other than a tomei catback. It has 110 k miles and I picked it up for 16,000 dollars he was an honest guy that just wanted a GTR so honestly was on the market for 2 hours then I picked it up for a deal!
That’s a steal if it’s clean title and rust free
Nice
I paid $35k aud for a jdm evo 8 imported out of Japan with 97,000km in 2022
Great Video Miguel! Any informations about Evo IX SE? Got mines last year for 1k (cheapest deal ever!) with 129k miles sat for almost 3 years. She starts up after replacing the spark plugs and changed all the fluids ofcourse. I’m the second owner and I drive the Evo more than my 2016 STI since i got it.
Bought my 2011 GSR coming up on 2 years ago during COVID for 26k. She had 61k miles, a brand new transmission, and a brand new tcase. One helluva deal. I love my car and I'll never sell it
Cool video! Very well said 👏🏻 I got my evo for 13k-ish in 2015 😅
So did they include the 2006 evo ix se with the “regular” evo?
Awesome Video! Im from Sydney Australia i got my 2003 Evo 8 GSR in V05 medium purple at 2020 during covid time for 25k (16kUSD)with 62000kms (38525miles) completely stock.
Bought mine is 2003 as the original owner, it had 8 miles on it so I've had it for about 20 years. Currently has 160k miles with a rebuilt engine, fortune autos and ce28n.
Just curious, when the engine gets rebuilt, does the mileage restart? Not sure if rebuilding gets good as new engine
I'm planning to get a 2015 lancer with 79km on it. Is there any advice that you can give me ??. Thank you.
Great video, I'm in Wales (United Kingdom) and own a year 2000 - Silver EVO 6 GSR with only 71k miles. Would be interesting to hear your thoughts on what the demand and prices will be when the EVO 6 reaches the 25 year rule mark (2024) in the USA? The prices in the UK have already started to rise for the EVO 6 and are now at least £20,000 for the bottom of the range cars.
I've none yet 😞 but hopefully next year I can get one but sadly in Ireland it's hard to find a good one at a good price
What about the next gen? Considering getting one. Would love any input. And obviously I'd want a manual.
Got my 2013 Evo X in early 2020 for 24 grand with 88K miles. Here in North and South Carolina, it’s very rare to see an evo here. Whether it’s an VIII, IX, or X. Even at car shows, meets, or cars and coffee.
There’s no car like them. Absolutely insane cars.
I have a stock 2003 Evo 8 bought new. It has 194,000 miles on it. I have the BBS MR Wheels and the MR Bilstein suspension. Regular maintenance, original clutch to 185,000 miles -no burnouts ever!
My Evo 7 is driving me nuts.
When winter comes and I hit the brakes light to medium pressure driving in the city it makes some grinding / donkey noise on the back and the car sort of shakes like it was applying and releasing brake pressure and even the car lights blink with the vibration and I dont know WTF is wrong with it.
Autoshop said rear diff is bad but I dont see how it relates to lights or why in the summer it doesnt happen even once.
Anybody have any ideas?
I bought my 05 Evo 8 MR this March 2022 for 12k with 116k miles no rust.
Insane
Bought my TB GSR brand new for $30,000 in October of 05. 47k on the clock now. No plans to sell, that will be up to my kids one day.
Stock for stock
The Evo is actually a lot faster than the
R34 skyline
Honda NSX
Toyota Supra 2JZ
And many more
The 4G63 platform is just incredible for what's it's capable of!
Paid 34k for mine in 2005 in Houston, TX. 122k miles on it, basic bolt on mods, still running strong.
Around 8 years ago I imported an Evo V for 12k Canadian. 1.5 years ago I got an Evo 7 for 18k Canadian, it was R grade but 80k km and no rust, few paint issues. This is the best way to find a cheaper Evo when you're importing, don't be scared of R grade. Just ensure the accident was minimal. Get em while you can, most important thing is no rust! These will all go up in value.
Bought my 03 Evo 8 in 2005 for $25k with 28,000 miles. Had a Vishnu piggyback, Helix intake, turbo xs turbo back exhaust and fmic and helix adjustable cam gears. Now it has a fully built motor and lots of goodies under the hood!
165,000 miles on chassis
Got my 2004 rally red RS in November of 2009 with 34k miles on it for $19,900 I wanna say? I still have it today with just over 94k miles on it. Such a raw example of the Evo 8, the RS 😍
Bought an evo 9 rs this year (2022) for $17.8k with 177k. clean title with maintenance records, car looked well cared for but does have a couple of pretty nasty dents that need fixed. replaced an axle seal and is due for a timing belt now. car has some mods and i have it running flex fuel now. I was lucky enough to catch this seller the day he posted it and had the cash available to buy that day or i would have missed it. car was sold in castlerock colorado.
@Miguel Dsm it’s been a while since you have made a video on your Lancer EVO!
Got the build series coming this week! Going to be mostly Evo content moving forward 👌🏼
@@MiguelDsm Thx! Been a while Since!
Also, I just bought a 2010 evo x SE which is super rare for 16,800. Clean title, 1 owner 80k miles
I am looking at older JDM Evos 4/5 and am wondering if anybody knows anything about them or can send me in the correct direction with fourms/videos or any knowledge you have on them and if owning one in the US is gonna be an issue with parts not including body parts.
I love my evo 9 Gsr very2 much because there something special about it that i can't explain in words. Only owners knew how it felt to have one.
I've been eyeing a CT9A for awhile. Honestly was my go to in middle school Gran Turismo. When I git the cash to buy something like it I bought a GR STi only because there was only one Evolution IX in my area and it had no engine but I needed a car being a Florida guy in Washington now first time snow driver. I remember the days these cars used to be $17,500 pricing. Got the STi for $22,500 in 2019. 2023 just seems weird for cars now. Until recently I didn't know there were so few Evolutions made compared to STis however. Still have my eye out for a IX... or maybe date someone with one xD. Thanks for the post and the break down!
For evo 10, if gsr manual it will worth to buy than sst version
love a good Evo and that is any of them from the Evo 3s all the way to the 9s love that the engine I picked up in japan came out of a Evo3 for my eagle talon TSI it came with way more power then the USDM motors and the compression ratio is even higher then ours were so it can make way more power stock then what our dsm's do and now that i built the engine with the same amount of compression and added all the go fast goodies its become a beast.
does all comes with turbo?
Got JDM 2002 Evo 7 GT-A one of 3683 build for Japan only market (I'm in Canada). Rust free with maintenance record $12.5k CAD in 2019, just because its GT-A (Auto). This same car could go for about $15 to $17k these days. With a rebuilt and strengthened auto box it's an easy $20k car, fun drag strip car if the box upgraded correctly.
I've been watching Evo 10s, manual, with around 200k (kilometers) pretty closely for a year. Where I live they've gone from 25-35k CAD to 20-30k CAD in the last year.
So I’m going to buy an Evo 7 GTA for 16000$ in Canada Alberta, is this a good price?
Back in March 2007 bought a brand new EVO IX GSR for $31k had 12 miles on the odometer. I've owned 19' STI & 21' STI. Now I have a 22' Lexus IS500 Launch Edition only 500 built.
I bought my 2006 evo 9 se new in Sept 2007 from San Rafael Mitsubishi for around $31k (otd just under $35k) with 2 miles on the car when I test drove it. Currently has under 76k and garaged. Now driving my 21 civic type r and 05 crv awd 5sp.
Very interesting info. But one must remember 40% of the money in circulation today was printed over the past 3 years. So prices are also going up due to inflation.
But you're right. It's a good car to own where you won't really lose any money on it.
Yes. Plus mass immigration increasing demand for used vehicles, and crappy build quality (due to regulations, mostly) making good used cars less affordable.
Let's just hope we can retain access to petrol...
Had my evo for nearly ten years, most of which it was a daily driver. Great car. Wish I'd paid extra for the ix
Bought my Rally Red Evo VIII Gsr back in 2019 for 19k with 115k miles. Came with full 3in exhaust stock block and turbo.
I have a Evo 9 MR SE with 24,000 miles no crashes. I am holding on to it. Cars like this are not coming back.
I got mine in 2021 for $17,000 with 165K miles on it Evo 9 GSR GG, Clean title and fairly stock. When you say the feel for them is much different than a STI you're not lying. I own both and the evo feels much nicer to drive than the STI. To anyone out there looking to purchase one, do it, I did so without telling my wife about it and to this day I don't regret getting it lol.
Got my Evo 8 GSR with 116k miles for $1k lol. Clean title, no rust. The circumstances were pretty wild, and I couldn't believe the deal my friend made me. Car needs some work and is missing the turbo, intercooler, injectors, fuel pump, and a bunch of other engine bolt ons, but the exterior and interior are mint. Obviously, this is a stupid rare deal, so I hope people don't get their hopes up lol. I sold my built Evo 8 SSL back in 2019 and regretted it. Now I have this silver GSR, and I'm never letting it go lol.
I have an Evo 9 Se 2006 how come it’s not on those nos ??
Haha I bought my Evo 9 for 17.5k with 76k miles. This year in March thou it is salvage title haha. Only front end damage and the frame isn't even bent. Plus it was back in 2007 and had like 6 owners befor hand haha
I have an 2004 Evo VIII GSR that I paid $27k new and now with 76,000 miles in showroom condition. Rebuilt engine 3 years ago. I've been offered 40k cash, but it's my DD and I don't see it leaving my garage anytime soon
I paid 33k for my evo 10 in 2018 got it with 15k miles bone stock currently sitting at 60k. I do plan on getting a evo 8 or 9 sometime soon just haven’t found the one yet!
I was extremely lucky enough to buy this 2003 evo 8 that was local in my town for only 17,500 USD in 2021 after selling my 500whp sti lol. It had 105k miles and also was a clean title. It was an older gent that was trying to sell the car to apparently get a tesla for his business, the cars paint was also really bad everything was sundamaged to hell but interior and engine was all stock 100% and in A1 condition. My dad and I spent probably close to 50 something hours sanding and repainting this car and swapping out old trim piece things to make it look tip top and restore it basically. Now I get offers from random people on IG willing to pay 30k for it!! I am also leaving this as stock engine wise just for the sake of value and just only gonna do suspension and exhaust mods lol. Miguel u put me on evos and so did all my friends lmao, everyone I know has something mitsu and i was the only dude with a subie hahah
Admittedly, the 4b11T is a stout engine as well dude. Evo X's are going to be desired similar as 8/9 later man. But the X is just in a different class, the 8/9 are timeless.
I’ve owned my Evo 9 FQ340 for 10 years :)
I got mine in Reno Nevada at Reno auto center back in 06 with like 10 miles on it. Black 06 evo 9 br350 edition with 70,000 current miles.
I am saving up now because i want one always been a dream to own a evo
I bought my 2004 evo 8 for 7,000 dollars back in 2019. Made 400whp and had no issues which is insane to me! Now im about 30k deep into it and it makes a little under 700whp. I'll never sell it. Its clean title no rust and my baby. Note too evo guys, in my opinion built motors are a curse for these cars. keep them full bolt ons. Ive had so many issues since building mine
I live in Charlotte NC, where can I buy a Mitsubishi Evo?
99% of the evos we have in Trinidad and Tobago are all imported from Japan. The others being the one or two that local dealer sold at the time (with no warranty BTW). Now it's even harder to find a good condition one that hasn't been power modded to the core or lightly abused (because you can't just have an EVO and not rough it up sometimes). Here parts compared to states side is about x11 or x12 the USD price and inflation already had our cars selling for high prices. I bought my 7 in 2008 for about 23K USD... and now those prices are much higher. Eventually these cars in good condition will rival the desire of the Lancia Delta Intergale EVO series cars as well. BTW Lancer register also has a definitive Buyers guide as well to check on that you can download.
My biggest gripe with Mitsubishi is the fact they are discontinuing parts so much. Something like a power steering pump EXCLUSIVE to the 789 they discontinued, Roof strips, and other little things. Mitsubishi doesn't seem to care that the car has importance... more as just another stock gone past. I really hope they consider heritage programs.
The only thing we can hope for is for companies to step up and offer aftermarket replacements. The Evo has always had a strong support system, so I doubt discontinued parts will be an issue compared to the other mitsu platforms
I paid 24.5k in 2010 in the Seattle area from a private seller car had 36k miles clean title. Stock motor, ets uper and lower ICP, KW clubsport coilovers 18x9.5 rpf1s and a tune by English 🤘🏼
