Love my Evo IX. Have kept it 100% stock. Car has 58k and has never failed me. Treat it right and you will have the car for life.
It better not fail you with 58k miles 🤣
Sitting on gold there if you ever decide to sell lol
If you ever want to sell it..gimme a shout
@@interceptingfist5682 funny af🤣😭
It something about evos ,I love my evo..
my wife calls , my car the side chick.
Little does she knows , she’s the side chick. Lol
LMAOOO BEST COMMENT AWARD FOR SURE 🤣🤣🤣
Almost 9 years of ownership with my evo. Crazy. Can’t see myself getting rid of it! Good video man!
I would have never sold my last one if I didn’t build a house :/ had it for 5 years and it was a blast. Did tons of work to it. Never will own another because prices are going up so fast.
Thanks Ant! Can't see myself not owning a evo either haha
Dude...even Subaru owners like Evos....I got one of each....bytheway. keep up the great content
Me too. Wrx for street, evo for track
@@adiscomedia2306 cool man.....my WRX is my modified car the Evo VII is my daily.....
@@jony6toes307 hey man if u don't mind me asking, what job do you have? I'm 21 and trying to explore my options, I'm already thinking of becoming an aviation mechanic or make a car detailing business
And Evo owners like Subaru’s! At least I do! I was jk about that in the video! Would love to own a Hawkeye one day
@@djpollo2474 I was a Precision engineer for many years making and designing tooling for companies like Prodrive, Ralliart, F1 teams, Aircraft, ships and mining. It served me well. Go down the Aviation route buddy if that's where your heart is.
Figured I’d stop by and drop a like and comment. I have 205,000 miles on my 03. Very reliable with no issues. New timing belt and clutch performed two years ago. And all major components are still original. I’ll own it for life at this point.
Great video man! You got me pumped! I love my IX! Grabbed her back in 06 with 3 miles on it….she’s sitting at 65k right now! She always puts a smile on my face when driven!
Wow! Gem right there!
can you give it free to me 😢
I bought my EVO 8 new in 2005. The only mod has been a bigger rear sway bar. It truly can do everything: track days, canyons, wet weather. It just doesn’t care. I have 226k miles on it and it’s still a challenge and a way too much fun. Beware old dudes driving EVOs. We own these because we’ve tried most everything else.
wow!! Awesome! Glad your driving the evo the way it should be driven!
I agree 100%. These are cars you can buy now and own it for several years, and at the very least, get your money back if you sell.
Don’t forget to always do an inspection on the Evo before buying one, there are sellers out there will not tell you the truth.
As an 06 subaru sti owner, i want an 06 Mitsubishi evo also. I think both are amazing cars. Hopefully i can own both one day.
I agree with you love both!!!
I just bought an X for my first evo this year. Thing is absolutely amazing as my new daily and I know the hype around these cars. Can only imagine the 8/9.
Have an 6 swapped STI and an Evo 8 I just snagged, markets wild for Evos right now 🙃 still overpaid for what I got but better than most market prices. 😤
Good video dude 🔥
How much did you end up paying for yours if you don’t mind me asking
Thanks bro! and congrats!!!
@@MystiqueMotives 12K, came with a ton of parts I sold off so in the end maybe around 7K or so. 04 Evo 8 with 90K miles. Clean title
@@Smeedia you got it for 12k? How, evo 8/9's are going for over 40k with 55k+ miles around me. So i'm rebuilding a wrecked 06 evo 9.
@@sketch10buildz his wasn’t running he’s a subie guy but a true mechanic, so he’s doing a whole engine tare down and building it from the grown up !
I got my Evo VIII two years ago now for $21,000 CAD ( like 15-16k USD ). 75k miles on body, less than that on the 2.3 stroker, transfer case and trans. Few little quirks to work out still but overall good clean car. So happy I purchased it when I did.
It’s awesome when you get one cheap because you know you’ll get your money back if you ever sell it 🙌🏼
its worth double that
Great video, I love the Evo. But to answer your question, a C5, C6, or C7 is also a great choice for a versatile car that can do everything well. Corvettes hold many drag/track records and a C6 recently beat a Evo 9 in the Optima Auto Cross event, but damn it was close. Both incredible cars with very different approaches to speed. Each is fun and unique in their own way.
I agree! A lot of cars out there are very versatile!
Which looks the best is highly subjective.
Which is the best Evo is based on performance on the rally circuit and the IV-VI dominated all. I bought a V as she won both drivers and manufacturers championship in 1998 - Performance, rarity and pedigree.
Unfortunately the VII and IXs only have the first two - 🎤 Drop 😎
They look cool but unfortunately the CT9As got owned where it counts… on the track.
Hands down. Got a 2003 red evo 8 and I love it. Keep it up bro
Thanks bro!!
you forgot to point out that the evo 1 to 9 was never sold in Canada ! They are super rare in Canada, I am one of the lucky canadians that has a Graphite Gray EVO 9 , all i need now is a JDM rear bumper (which is a must on all evo 8 or 9 IMO)!
oh wow!!! Didn't even know they didn't make it to canada! You guys have the 15 year rule for JDM cars so maybe that's why I see a good amount overthere!
I picked up my 05 LY Evo 8 brand new in May 05 and still have it. 26.5K weekend miles and still looking new and going strong
I feel like there's a lot of hidden evos out there that are in perfect condition!
@@ChrisGoorbarry yes they are and I feel mine is one of them. I plan to hold onto it for as long as I can.
How much did it cost you then compared to if you were to sell it now?
I miss my evo 8 mr, dumb 18yr blew a red light t-boned me Rip 2011-2021. This video hurt more than a break-up
Damn man sorry to hear :(
I'm sold, going to buy an EVO now. Thank you for making this video, great job!
did you?
Just put a deposit down on a JDM Evo 8 MR (in Australia) the other day, I've never been this excited in my life.
Dude I bet your super excited! Congrats!
The jdm market is rocketing rn r34s where the first to take off then Supra rx7 nsx and evos slightly behind but getting up there
I picked up my Evo for 20k with all the goodies & 450hp at the wheels on a conservative tune. I can say one thing, I will never sell this car, I'll drive it till the wheels fall off. The only real downsides are the small fuel tank and turning radius
Picked up my IX wagon late 2020 in Australia and the prices have since picked up. Love it to bits!
I got a JDM evo 8 last year for $18000 CAD, wasn’t the best example out there, but I wanted to secure one early. plus I will be slowly restoring all the parts. it had 135k km
Love my evo, I’ve got a 2007 evo ix gen 2 (so red stitching) weird 90kms on the clock, love it to bits, markets gone crazy here in Australia but, I paid 35 for mine 3 years ago with heaps of mods done to it and now I’m seeing them sell in worse condition than mine for 60-70k AUD
wow! you love to hear these stories man! Glad you got it right on time!
Chris nice breakdown on the pros and cons of buying an EVO. I bought my 2003 EVO 8 new, probably not many original owners left.
One less as of 2 weeks ago, proud second owner 😎
Original owner here 🙋🏻♂️💪🏼
@@eddieburgos3268 how much you paid for yours when it came out.
@@ramiahwhitney9 40k I bought brand new while living in Puerto Rico. 2006 MR 🙏
Damn dude that’s awesome that you always kept it!
I pulled my 8 out of a rut beside some guy's house after it sat for 5 years with no hood on it and have since rebuilt just about every part of the car...and I've even made a couple FL to PA trips and hit the Tail of the Dragon with it since... But it's a love hate relationship. Stuff breaks or it wants to pick a day and not run right and you get fed up... But those days it runs great and you do a few pulls or hit a curvy road...Ooo. It's hard to beat.
As a Subie driver i have to admit that the evo 8s and 9s are really beautiful and awesome cars. And yeah the evo is definetly better at some points.
Owner my Evo for about 5 years, never left me stranded I’m glad I only paid 15k for mine
Which model?
Got my 04 evo8 broke my heart when it broke down took me 2 years of saving up now it's a modest 450hp.Its my Evo8😎
no. if youre in the UK/EU/Australia....anywhere other than the USA. BUY A GR YARIS. As an Evo 8 FQ-330 owner I regret not buying one after my friend got one.
Evo 8/9 is my top 1 dream car... but i dont know if i can afford one before prices go even higher. Im 21 and i earn 900€ a month for at least until 2 years when i finish my education as a car mechanic :(. I really really really want this car, my chances may be slim, but i will still try and find other ways to make some extra money
you can do it!! I was in your same shoes 3 years ago!!
I'm 24 and insurance is crazy in UK. Better now at this age.
A decent Evo 8 is about £25- £40k here. I guess it's practically impossible for me
Hmmm, I love all Evos. Owned I, V (still have), and X (still have). Have friends that have had all models. For me, the X (paying homage to the almighty Galant VR4) is the best looking and the baddest Evo produced. Gotta put all that fanboy thing to rest. It's over. The 4G63 did it's thing and is still doing it's thing no doubt. But one simply can't compare the 4G63 to the 4B11. It's the 4B11 all day every day. New leaf
When it comes to the reliability and you said it’s about the build and maintenance I think you need to let these viewers know that this isn’t typical maintenance you gotta replace everything on this car every 20k miles 😂 I’ve went through 6 clutch’s 4 starters 8 cam position sensors 4 o2 sensors 4 new coils and tires every 10k miles a wastegate solenoid switch a shifter cable assembly that birdcaged and left me stranded in the middle of Indiana . 2 transfer cases and a set of synchros and whole new fuse box/distribution block from the fender liner letting water in…. The list goes on and this thing only has 65k on it 😂 you gotta be on top of every aspect of this car is an understatement imo… call it unreliable or call it what you want but if you want something that you will do more driving then fixing this ain’t the one for you.. also most parts have to be special ordered and even Mitsubishi doesn’t make a lot of 8/9 parts anymore so be prepared to have this on the lift or jack stands for a good amount of time waiting.. just my experience good luck out there 😂
Owning my Evo 8 for 11 months and I couldn’t be happier. I wish I bought one sooner.
If anyone is in the market for one, don’t hesitate.
If you ever want to sell it..gimme a shout
Love Evo's. Just got a IV and it is a blast to drive. Cannot wait until the 6 is legal in the US.
Evos just hit different! Love them as well man!
As a fellow WRX owner… I’m over Subaru. (Gonna keep mine since its been paid off and built up) but, Evo 8-9 is the next purchase. Can’t fucking wait.
My 9 has 61k miles and pretty much stock. I'm conflicted with either keeping it stockish or just doing a full build. Good video bro!
No harm in doing reversible mods. Just keep the stock parts so you can swap them back on.
If you ever want to sell it..gimme a shout bro
I couldn't do a U turn on an airstrip in my Evo 7 😂
Im telling you man!!! It’s horrible haha
Lol.
An Evo 9 with good condition and low mileage can easily cost more than 50k already in California
I don’t even own an evo and or plan to buy one and I subscribed!
Nice video. This makes me want an evo even more.
Thank you!! Really appreciate it!
This car is a gem.. in my country (Singapore) a second hand Evo 8/9 which is around 16-17 years old cost arnd $180,000 - $200,000.
Damn they’re really expensive in other parts of the world!!
@@ChrisGoorbarry , yeah over here car prices are insane!!
I recently bought an electric blue 8. Best investment ever
turning radius is very agreeable lol
Right!!! 🤣🤣
I had an 8 but men got into a X and it kind of made me think rhe perks of an evo with light mods is not bad. Reliability was one of my main concern.
I have a 6 and 9. I don't know which one I like most lol
Lol that’s a very hard choice love the 5 and 6 man!!
The 6 is best
Good video Chris, there is definitely evo tax in Australia, we are seeing good low klm 9's up to $60 k and any TM evo 6 in record territory, i have a high klm evo 7 all original that has all service history and drives amazing, the ultimate allrounder
Man it’s crazy the prices that are happening in Australia 👀!!!
Im about to hit 27k on my evo ix. Wanted to sell it but ur evos make me want to keep it🤟
Damn that’s low mileage!!! Keep it and sell it in 5 years
Yes a Evo is the most perfect car to get. Especially right now you can get some clean evos for 36k with 30k to 50k miles
Wow over here it's 50k and upwards for 160,000kms 😂
as a soon to be scooby owner...man I love Evo's
i've had both, I like both because they are different.
Came from a GVB Sti and got an Evo X FE and haven't looked back.
I applied for finance on one last summer, 64k miles 3 owners, Evo8 MR320 in grey, and the company said no 2004 car is worth £18500 and will drop in value drastically. I said, do you even know what the fuck you’re on about? These are going to shoot up in a matter of weeks! They said no they won’t, only investment to go into is property. Now you can’t get one for less than £27000 with the same spec. And now my dream car is never going to be achievable 🤷♂️🥺
Great video!
2:15 GTR lmao
I'm sad they didn't sell these in Canada. So I imported my 8 from Japan last summer lol.
The realist evo channel. 👏🏻
Thank you!!!!!
Skyline GTR at every single category!!
You missed the 6 speed glass box granny
amazing video, thinking about getting this for my first/second car
Do it!!!!
Love my 9 ill never sell it makes a bit over 600 to the wheels fully built bottom to top no expenses spared. Imo 9s look the best and I see them appreciating the most due to limited supply made I think like 8k of them roughly in the US and I'm sure alot have been beat to shit or totaled sadly
Most underrated evo
Started out as a DSM boy out of HS. Went to Honda then wrx, followed by American muscle, then back to wrx STI and finally a VB cus no STI anymore 😢
Love my Evo IX. 👽
Celica gt4 6 gen could do all that and be reliable
"we can all argue" "but I don't want to start an argument" 😂😂😂
Love my MR9. Bought it new.
im planning to buy the evo 9 wagon for my secondary car for around 70K usd (yes i know its overprice) i will also use this guides
The wagons are getting super expensive but it might still be worth it as those really hold there value
2:25 look at the cars that it was amongst ffs. GFQ400 is the GOAT!!
I bought my Evo 8 new on August 20th, 2003 for $28,500. Sold it in 08 with 58k on the odometer when I got orders to Japan for $23k. Dumbest thing I ever did.
Damn man sorry to hear that! you can still buy another one!! Just gotta keep an eye out!!
I drove my 8 for about 8 years with no major repairs needed
Evo 9 in estonia is sold at 35000 euros, the only one to be sold atm as well in the country tho...
You forgot the biggest issue with these. If you live in a country or state that gets bad weather.........they rust like hell. Only consider if you live in a dry country or state & have a garage to only use in good weather.
Any car would rust like hell if the weather gets bad 🙄
@@jhonreydelacruz6945 they used a cheaper metal on the evo. They don't hold up like most other cars
@@blankblank3397 ahh. Didn’t know that. good thing I have a garage for the my evo
Hmmm I’ve only seen this issue in the UK and just a bit in the US. Maybe it depends on the country and how they handle the snow. Lucky for me I’ve lived in places that don’t snow 😂 but good to know! 👍🏼👍🏼
This is so completely wrong it hurts.
I’ve used my Evo 8 in the wet British weather in every condition and I have no rust.
You just need to keep it clean and sealed. Simple. It’s only lazy people who let them rust. Like any car.
The UK, we annoyingly use salt on the roads during winter. But just get a pressure washer under there for 30 mins at the weekend
Every time I take my evo out everybody tells how much they like it kind of an ego boost the only problem I have is the factory paint is trash doesn’t do well in the sun especially red and black colorway
All colors were pretty bad lol, except maybe white
Another con you forgot to mention is the turn radius… nobody can do a full u-turn at a light 😂
Great video Chris. I never missed your videos and you made me to buy a Evo... guess what I bought Evo 9 MR from Japan and received it last week.it took so long to find what I wanted.now it is under compliance. I need your help to build it bro...
Evo 9 MR sweetttttt!!!!! 😍😍
Buy the Evo I got mine 4 years ago and it's just been a pleasure yea ur gonna break stuff it's going to be expensive but the cars deserve that love
Love the 8 & 9 trim
Bought mine in 2003 she is in need of some more love but she’s all mine.
That's how the grey one started for me too!! Once you have one your good to go!!
@@ChrisGoorbarry Apex Silver GSR for me. It’s was down for about 12 years while worked away from home. But I built the motor and she’s back in running form.
Youre Wright bro i have 3 Evos one 8RS, 8MR and a 6GSR..
Sheeeeesh Goals!!
I love all Evos but my personal favorite EVO is the 6.
1 to 3
4 to 6
7 to 9
They all look good for some.
To me it's TME in red looks 😍
Lol, should you buy an Evo in today's market? Evo owner - "fuck yes, please validate these prices by buying Evo's so mine become worth that amount too". Get yours Chris!
I have a 6.5 TME and VII and the CP is by far the better looking platform than CT. Fight me.
haha love the 6.5 is goooold!
I still LOVE mine. Anywhere I park, it gets attention and they always ask , is it for sale?
damn you should work for donut media with that intro 😭🤣
FL gang!
Video quality is insane
Thanks man 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Yeah, no one uses an Evo for drifting. Any car can do anything with enough money, it’s not a good argument.
Awesome vid as usual Chris! Can you help us out with a 'How to' with my Evo 9? I recently acquired a S2 front lip I want to fit to a S1. Cheers bro!
This is what I’m running into but if I buy a Evo gtx3582 1200cc built and the motor only last a year . I’m looking at a Evo , b7 rs5 v8 and a Pontiac g8. In todays time best get while you still can
Got strapped up in my evo 8 by a gt2rs made me want to sell my machine but, when I cursing at 8 and my 40psi hit
I just forget about selling it lol, when you have a big turbo ans you drive it below 2k rpm the gas mileage is great. Driving an evo as a every day car is stupid especially they way people drive would be a bad idea.
i agree, i think that the specialty cars from 90's to 00's are going to continue to gain momentum, at least for the next few years. I think that this was the hayday for this type auto, not to be reproduced or replicated in the near future, and for sure no where near the cost if so....imo . cool vid, i think you are right...
CT9A 03' Tarmac no sun, wing option, O.O. 28K
All the dislikes are from subaru employees
i personally like the evo9 wagon ...but it really hard to get one here in malaysia ...and the price is so crazy right now
Yea man prices are super high!!
I am looking into buying one now. Had a 05 evo8.
Looking in 2022 and it’s up in the 40-50K
Well I just got my sub
Would do anything to own an evo one day but they are so pricey here in Australia 😭
You got this!!!
do a video on SAYC/AYC. i got that from jdm evo 9
Evo 10 looks the best!
