Great vid. You don't come off as a dude with a huge ego, you speak in a mature manner, and give great insight. Subd!
I feel like finding an actual stock evo is the rarest thing ever haha
Rogelio Chavarin and if it is , the price is way high.
or a dsm XD
Rogelio Chavarin I bought mine with only a muffler delete and K&N drop-in filter (doesn't really do anything) with a free Accessport. It's as close to stock as you'll find haha
no1ymfan1 i bought mine with intake , muffler , coil overs and wheels. was a good friends of mine with 47k miles. paied 22k
evo 9 gsr That's a great deal man, unfortunately I don't have many friends with cars like ours, but it's always better to buy from friends
buying cars like these or any performance car used is always a roll of the dice .
How the hell you don't have 100,000 subscribers yet, i swear youtubers like you are underestimated too much, you present such solid content in your videos, and when i see other car youtubers who don't even come close to half of your videos, have more subscribers, makes me sick.
Hope you reach 100k subscribers soon, keep up the videos.
aiGeis then simply don't watch his channel... Wtf
Mr _skyserious - I barely subscribed and literally told myself how in the hell did I not find CZero's channel a long time ago, because you are right about his videos.👍
Mr skyserious he's almost hit 100k!
Mr skyserious well i just subbed and hes at 98k. hope he hits hi soon
Well... The goal has been reached about 102k subs already.
tbh i actually recommend going to a dealership because you'll run in to the exact same issues buying private. you just have to know your stuff before buying a used car and you should be able to tell very easily if its been modified in the past. Dealerships are also much easier to low ball with your your money because they tend to buy them super cheap and they dont usually have emotional attachments to the car.
Cadillac Man true.
True, I got my evo x with 28k miles at a dealership. They wanted $30k for it but I got them to drop it to $24k
I disagree I got my evo from a dealership and a month after I saw countless of good deals on evos through private sales on group pages. Buying private can save you up to 10 grand, not only that but you can get a real feel how the previous owner took care of the vehicle just by talking to them. Dealer salesmen and porters are already enough for me to not buy another evo from a dealership.
Aldo Mayorga where do you find these private groups im planning on buying one here soon
I just bought my ALMOST stock Evo IX w/27k miles on it just under 3 months ago. Some other items to note:
1. Evo 9's specifically are big time going up in price. 8's are as well but not nearly at the same rate as 9's (or at least that was the case 3 months ago). 10's seem to dwindle in pricing.
2. Check fenders, engine, tranny, doors, etc for matching VIN tags.
3. I would not immediately dismiss all dealers/used car places (or anybody that is not a private sale). I bought mine from a used car dealer in Florida (I live in Ohio) who has personally owned 3 Evos in the past. He definitely knew his stuff and what to look for. I know this is not the typical scenario but I guess I am just making note that the sometimes this can be taken on a case by case basis.
4. Get a CARFAX! Do this if you are seriously looking at a particular Evo. Don't necessarily do this for any/all Evo's that you are just glancing at obviously. There are a couple guys on the forums that actually bought Evo's with salvage titles without knowing...
For some reason I am drawing a blank at the moment, I thought I had more to add.. Will edit if I remember more.
Every few years I look at used Evo's and the price is getting ridiculous. Almost bought a 9 brand new for 28K. Price now? 25-35K. WTF...
Wish i knew this before I bought my car. You live and learn wont make that mistake again!
sr20det what was wrong with yours?
Yeah I just bought mine and then watched this... damn lol. Any problems with yours?
Do you still have the car?
@@brandonchau5500 Your evo good bro?
you were good on the walking dead
Brian Bernales Hahaha
I thought he was better in F&F Tokyo Drift
He was also good in lost! Kappa
Stealerships! is 150% correct!
Rule number one; Dont buy an EVO if you cant afford it. You're welcome.
What if you can afford it
Then buy an EVO. Bam! that just happened.
Just be careful from whom you buy it from
Aroundtheworld 111111111 and rule number 2?
Danny Emsi don't sell it
Very good video and informative! Great job!
I really appreciate this video. I used the info in this to buy my evo x about two months ago. Came back to this video to leave a comment. I actually did buy from a dealer but they are a specialized performance car dealership in NC. They introduced me to the previous owner and I got full info on all the mods. The owner had ams do most of the most of the mods and the tune. I have all the paperwork on everything ever done to the car and the dyno sheet. I took about eight days to make a decision and I am really glad I got it. It has been awesome. I have had zero problems. The evo is in awesome condition and drives as smooth as a stock car but with more power. It's at 400 crank. With everything done to it professionally, it made a big difference. The owner traded it in to get a Porsche. We've become friends which has been really cool. So I got really lucky. My husband drives a modded s197 mustang gt/cs at about 500whp with a pro charger and bolt ons. So now we get to race each other and it's so awesome. Thanks for the tips. It helped me make the right decision and I'm so happy I pulled the trigger.
This man is underrated. His videos about Evo are pretty informative.
This Video was done really well, and a lot of these things are stuff you should look for no matter what your buying, i appreciate you being extremely thorough
I really appreciate your incite! thank you for your time!
Very very useful video. Thank you so much! I'm looking to buy an Evo X as soon as I'm done with my schooling, but didn't know quite what to look for. This definitely gave me a better understanding.
Great video! Very informative for ANY tuner car. From Evo's to Subies. It's the same story when it comes to the dealerships.
Been saving up for months for an Evo 8,never owned a car before,this video helped a lot for when I get ready to buy next year,thank you!
About to go test drive a evo 9 today so ill keep this in mind & check for everything thanks CZero! 🙏🏽
Very informative, thanks for putting this video out. This will help MANY people who are looking into Evos.
This video is incredible. I'm not ready to purchase my first Evo yet, but this was beyond informative. immediate subscribe!
These are some really good tips for buying any car. I wish I did this back when I bought my first car. Awesome video.
Great video man, looking at a sweet 03' and wouldve never thought to look at 99.999% of this stuff. Keep up the good videos!
Despite some evo specific things, the whole video is a how to on buying a used car in general. Nice job dude.
Your evo is my dream EVO! Anytime you're down to give a fan a ride, I'm down the street lol KEEP UP THE GREAT VIDEOS COMING!
Woo-hoo! thanks CZero Media!!! waiting for this video for some time, buy well worth the wait 😍👌
For some reason I just absolutely love Evos. You gained a new fan my friend.
I'm saving up for a evo 8 and your video has really helped! 👍 You have a great car collection.
Thanks for this video bro! I'm saving up for one and am probably going to buy one this year! Really appreciate it.
Really good points here bro. Appreciate it good looking out.
bought a bone stock evo 8 fq300, have driven it everyday for 4 years and still going strong. such reliable cars
Awesome video, props for looking out for fellow drivers!!!
Going to be getting an Evo 7 next week. Thanks for the vid Czero.
when I bought my Evo a few years back on the test drive I let the seller drive just for them reasons!! Always a good tip
Dude I completely agree with you, I have been known for saying to friends and family "The last place you want to go to is the dealership".
You're right dealers can be sketchy, I was once looking at a Subaru STI and it had a black top mount intercooler and it was actually smaller than oem intercooler. The dealership also assured me that it was "stock" lol.
i love how u upload this video a month after i buy my evo from a dealership .-..
Andrew Palmer have u got any problems I'm probably going to buy 1 asking 23k has 49k miles evo 9 all stock idk if it was returned. HELP
Sorry for late reply but not really, the cars pretty damn reliable. ive owned mine for nearly 6 ish months now as a daily from school and to work, not a single problem besides the oem radio that i replaced within 3 days. Id Recommend just be prepared for the shitty mpg lol.
Andrew Palmer Hows it hanging so far ? Been thinking of buying one, just started saving up for it
I'm looking to buy an evo V... Thanks for the video.. I know I will eventually end up spending a lot of money on it for repairs and maintenance, but this is for me a dream since 2005 and now I can afford it.....
great use of a video great way of advertising and reviewing this specific evo. and or any evo. what a great build definitely build quality definitely would be worth the value witch presented
already have an evo, subbed for the excellent info!
always nice to read positive comments instead of hate.. cheers.
My dream car is a stock or slight bolt on evo 8/9, so I appreciate these kinds of videos a lot man. I'm waiting for your next vid where you'll go over if someone should buy a stock/bolt on/or heavily modified evo since a lot of evos that you see on craigslist etc have lots of mods, and that's a big turn off for me personally since I'm a stock guy.
Really informative! Was wondering what I should look out for!
You're so right about this.... a year ago I purchased an evo 8 from a dealer... ended up replacing the cylinder head and head gasket
love this man thanks for the awesome tips I checked my car now again because of this
Very informal. I remember seeing a silver evo 9 for sale at a dealership for 23k and said was stock. Got in the car's driver seat and saw a wire hanging underneath the dashboard.
I was in a local performance shop, watching them pull a crazy large turbo off of an evo and swap it back to stock so a mitsubishi dealership could sell it.
Good call on the "stanced" lookout. If you want a stanced car then buying one already done is fine, just make sure the under carriage looks good. I don't personally like the stanced setups nor could I drive one where I live, but if your in cali or somehwere you dont get winter its probably not such a big deal.
Thank you so much!!! for the videos!!
Now I think I am ready to search for my evo, thank you
very informative video not only for evo buyers, cheers from Poland 😃
Really informative and detailed bruh. No crappy dubstep background music either. Lol. Thanks alot.
Appreciate this video. I'm not about to buy an Evo, but I appreciate the advice. Cheers.
Thanks! I've been waiting for a vid like this!
I got my evo 8 from a dealer and yea it's a dealership but i had 2 mechanics check it out first and the price was right for me personally. i've never gone the dealership rout but this one worked out. we tested everything czero talks about here and i got very lucky. they said it was "stock" but it looks like they had a downpipe on at some point and when we went to tune the car it had a locked high octane euro tune of some kind on it which took us a week to retune (completely new custom map was written). so dealers will charge you more but if you take the right steps while buying you can get a pretty good deal. my evo literally looks garaged as far as aesthetics go and runs like a champ.
I'm thinking about switching from a Impreza to a evo rallyart and this helped thank you!
Great video C !!! Good stuff. Just suscribed, love the vids. Yep, I wish i had an evo lol. Im stuck with a b18 turbo civic. :’( Hope to get an Evo soon !! Thanks for the video. Will watch it again when i go to buy an Evo one day :D
thank you so much for the awesome video im glad i founded your channel! and at the moment i do not have an Evo but its one of my goals to have one so thank you for the video!
I bought my evo from an evo specialist all they had was evo's and skylines in the UK. I would not say all dealerships are clueless but i get what your saying.
13:00 i laughed so hard I thought you said "Jacking off the Evo"
Awesome vid
thanks for the info man currently saving for evo will update when i get one 😆
everything that he said will apply to buying a used car,really helpful
Would you recommend to buy a evo 7 over a evo 8? If it was slightly cheaper?
If I was blind, I'd think it was the Terminator talking.
Something to note: A stock rear differential will make a sound similar to a death whine when upgrading to urethane energy suspension bushings. I have experienced this and so have many other Evo owners.
Thank you for your tips got me a nice Evo for a good price.
Love your channel, so much solid content. I m in chicago area and is trying to find an mint IX or VIII these days...But it's a hell hard work.
Great video, great tips. Subbed
Dude, you're awesome. Thanks for this!
What a great video, regardless of whether or not you're looking at an EVO. This is solid advice when coming to an agreement with any car. You're very in-tune with cars which isn't very common amongst "enthusiasts".
I like seeing an occasional EVO come down the road in between all the Subie's.
My 5th gear used to grind, got it rebuilt by shep trans, and no more grinding😁
Well I got my '13 Mazdaspeed3 from a dealer and it's been good to me since. Most people don't have 20/30k to drop so I think that's why dealerships are handy
Bought mine from a small dealer. I knew who sold it prior to me going to the dealer. Also knew the tuner and the builder of the Evo.
Paid a little bit above what NADA ($1000 over).
Reason why I had to buy it from the dealer was because the private seller sold it to the dealer before I got my financing done. I guess I got lucky.
good advice on purchasing a new car.
Good points! Thanks
"stealerships"
thanks good brother I learned a lot from your video and I am definitely following you now even know I am a mechanic it's good to get a different perspective from another point of view.
I got my evo, it had a compression problem. I didn't know that, but it turns out it was carbon build up in one of the valves. Not a huge deal but I wish knew that. Got a good deal tho. Full bolt ons evo x for 15k
Hey man thanks for the video!! This was very helful.
Another great tip is to look for the Vin on all body panels and always run a carfax
Your video was really helpful man 👍
in beginning of vid u said u were going to make another vid on things to look out for with buying modded and stock evos. great channel.
Very informative....Keep up the great work...
Hi @CZeroMedia the evo9 is my childhood dream car and I really want to find out more about it before buying it. I currently do not own a car but I would really like the Evo 9 as my first(I'm from Singapore btw). I really enjoy your videos as well but there are many terms I don't understand, do you have any recommendations on where I can learn more about the basics of motor cars or just the Evo 9? (Or in general what are the serious No no's that should deter you from buying the car)
Check the evap area. like the fuel filler neck and the box behind it If its an older car with mileage, there is a 90% chance it will have evap emissions problems
I brought an evo but not from the dealership. I brought one from an online auction I had to repair it quite a bit because the last person neglected it. Man these vehicles can be expensive if your not careful. Never go with Shep to rebuild any diff or section of the evo they will rip you off. I went mainly with Jacks-transmission they are pretty cool.
Here in Finland I prefer buying my cars from the dealerships they actually have some oblications after you buy the car from them. Bought my evo 9 about a year ago and two weeks after that my timing belt broke about 40 000km before I should have replaced it. Of course the bill was huge, eventhough it did not do too much damage to the motor, and the dealership had to pay the whole bill. Okey, there was some other issues with the car because the last owner did some crappy work with the care, espicially the tune was done horribly. Luckily those were easy to fix expect that tune which I couldn't do myself.
Keep an eye out on the AYC as well - 3 lights pn
i would suggest to check the rear chassis legs which you havent show and diff bolting points, they get corroed
Good shit homie! Very informative
What engine oil grade is recommended for my stock Evo IX?
The temperature in my country is about :
35°F - 70°F (02-22°C) during winters &
85°F - 105°F (30-40°C) during summers.
(Running on 17 psi / 1.2 bar boost)
This video was very well put together and had many valid points. However, I would not recommend flooring it at 2,500 rpms. That is called lugging the motor. It strains the motor and causes carbon deposits that are lodged in the cylinders to come loose. This can damage the motor quite severely. If you want to test the clutch, pull the E-Brake and release the clutch in second gear. If the car doesn't stall, it needs a clutch. Other than that, great vid!
Looking at buying an evo 6 gsr import to be a daily driver. I've found a couple in good condition, would you recommend as a daily driver? I have an escort cosworth that I use on the weekends that's practically been finished with (only money I hope to be spending on it is replacing sensors ht leads and servicing etc)
Basically will the running costs cripple me if I don't hoon about too much? I do want one though as it's 1/2 of my dream collection to go with the escort
Thank you for the great information on buying an evo
Good luck mate some times when u not a million air it's hard lose stuff
Hi Mate.Great video.What type of engine oil do u recommend for evo7? 0w30 right now but I wanna change for motul 10w50 its a good idea?
From personal experience after being burnt, check all gears work properly, if it is a jdm 6 speed converted to a 5 speed, reverse is below 5th, not to the side like I thought mine was, it was stupid, but I didnt really know about 5 speeds, since imported evos take up 98 percent of our evo market... umm other than that, I suppose just be skeptical in general, get it looked over first, everything can be fixed for a price, its up to you to determine how reasonable the asking price is.
Thanks a lot for the video, found it very useful.
Thanks for this man
I totally screwed up and bought my Evo from a stealership, lol. And I'm definitely paying for it now. Great video, all awesome tips to watch out for. Just a quick question about the last tip though. I thought going full throttle in 5th gear from low RPM was a giant no? I forget where I read it, but isn't there an issue with the stock ECU not being able to make load calculations correctly in 5th gear (or even 6th gear for the MRs) and low RPM to where it may potentially blow the engine?
Best video 🤙🏼 gave me knowledge on evo's
Awesome video!
