I have yet to see someone buy one of these cars and not have replace something major quickly. Its not the car....its usually the owner or stealership.
you found him, ive had my car for almost a year and havent had any issues with anything. and yes you are right, its the owner that will determine what will go wrong with a car.

What he said. As soon as I left the dealer throwing it into 5th gear it would grind a bit, happened every time. 5 days later I took it to the dealer and had it covered under my extended warranty but it was a b!tch and a half to get it approved.

I'm not 100% positive but I believe the only leather seats you could get with an Evo came with the SSL package. Otherwise they were cloth/suede/vinyl. Though I could be wrong.

buy a 9 with lower mileage.
be sure to check for maintenance on these car since... trans..center..rear fluid should be changed every 20,000 miles. may want to look into that... timing belt...clutch.. A LOT of things can go wrong with a car in that milage... age bracket.(03 is 8yrs old) japan paint sucks. mite aswell not even be there (this coming from an 06)

-bottom line.. whats the price tag on the both.. have a link
there's now a third one im considering. which is actually the most reasonable price here's the first one i was looking at http://www.cars.com/go/search/detail...5&aff=national second and third i will have to go see for myself since they dont have pics but here are the links none the less http://www.cars.com/go/search/detail...5&aff=national http://www.cars.com/go/search/detail...5&aff=national
