Buying an Evo dealer insists it is an MR but I don't think so

As someone already mentioned the hood lines up terribly on the driver side. And come to think of it the gap between the driver side front and rear door seems off. Lots of fishy things going on with that car. I would walk away but that's just me.

the hood lines up fine with the rest of the body, must not have closed it all the way before the pictures or something. the front doors have some kind of ding protectors so the gaps look smaller. unless I get an amazing deal I will probably just walk away but I'll see what I can talk them down to

didn't see the door line that was talked about. the hood that looks simple enough. The rubber hood rest is set too high. Not sure if covered but not stock headlights. The bumper being off could be from it being removed and put back on. Mine does it now on the right. No front crash beam helped that a little. I would car fax and look for more evidence of mods that might have been removed. Take someone that know these cars.

Oh check to see if the 60K service was done. The timing belt job.

no need for magnets . This car has a sunroof, thus its definitely not an aluminum roof. MRs do not have sunroofs !

^ What he said. Sunroof = no MR, case closed.

And those are not OEM gauges. Too big.

seems way over priced. 70K miles for $21,000... way too much. Go to southcoast in cali and get a brand new 2006 evo 9 for $36,000 haha
