Finding a Evo is frustrating.

Yes, it really frustrates me. I've been looking for around 6 months already. Maybe it's my location or something. Well I guess I am pretty picky also. Has to be a IX with low miles and not like terribly ragged on. All I see is overpriced evos or riced out mofuggahs.

How long did it take you to find your evo?

also kinda off topic, but do Evo IX SE come with HIDs?

Buy a modded one, and why a IX?

If I was in the market one of the 2-3 Buschur built Evos for sale would do it for me ranging from 23-33k, it's a win win.

Thank you about the HID question. But from what Jasil said. I want a stock to very little modded evo. I am not going to track this bad boy or autox it, so I want something very dd.

I ya man. It can be very frustrating. Although it didn't take me as long as you to find one, it seemed like forever till I found mine. An 03 VIII with 36k miles for 18k last year.

I have a nine SE, I picked it over the MR cause the transmission for the MR is supposedly wack, I haven't seen it from my friends MR but I heard that they go bad. Anyway the SE is worth it, and I agree with you about purchasing a car with little or no mods. I bought mine brand new with only 38 miles on it. And I had to replace the synchros that same week because apparently in those 38 miles some dumbass at the dealer was able to F-up the transmission. You never know what people have treated their cars like... Good Luck with a purchase they are definately worth it

unfortunately, a low miles IX is becoming more and more rare. It almost a 3 year old model year car. You are going to need to be more open. And if you do find one the seller isn't going to be stupid and give it away.

If you're only looking local, then that's your problem. Search the whole country then fly out to pick it up when you find one.
