Ok so I posted awhile back looking for a evox and after a few discussions I decided to try and find a evo 8 or 9. Well I happen to pass a deli a few weeks ago and saw a grey evo 9. I pulled in and found the owner and asked him if he would be interested in selling it. He replied no but he's wanting to sell his wifes evo 8.
info on it:
03 evo 8
weightless white
140k all highway miles
original owner
female driver
bine stock other than:
newer clutch
newer brake pads and rotors
base tuned with a gas mileage tune and a valet tune
comes with extra trunk without spoiler
The title is clean and it was in a minor accident years ago that the front bumper had to be replaced, the owner says the paint is dead on matching. I'm also going to do a car fax on it. The only major thing wrong with it is apparently when they first got it the paint on the rear bumper started peeling and the dealership repainted it and its peeling again but i want a jdm rear any ways.
I asked him how much he wanted and he said 10k. I thought about jewing him down but i know white evos are hard to find amd the closest one that isnt a arm and a leg to my location is 12k with 75kmiles and has a rebuilt title.
wjat do you all think and also what are some things to look for. I know shaft olay of course and I've heard to check the transfer case for leaks. Also thought about getting a mechanic to do a compression test. I been around turbo eclipses for years and built them but haven't been around alot of evos.
here's a picture from a while back and yes it has a new tire on it and not the donut.
