Bought it used..

Purchased 4/30/04 with 12,978 miles on her. Minor paint work on the pass side, but mechanically sound.

06 with 50k, had it for a week now, did some research and picked out the cleanest i could find, drove 3 hours to get it. i love it coming from having a GSR swapped civic. has some basic mods but it was female owned and well taken care of.

No sorry it wasn't yours but I'm sure it was beautiful and very reliable

Yep, and I got a great deal...

1) 2006
2) 35k
3) It has become a fascinating money pit

It had a conservative tune which has made it tons of fun and reliable.

I bought it with little knowledge about these cars. If I would of researched more I would have saved myself a ton of $$$$. I have learned a lot though. Apparently the car had a lot done to it and was put back to near stock and traded in... then I came along and bought it. I have replaced just about everything. The interior is mint and body is pretty good though.

1) 2005 Evolution VIII MR
2) ~36k
3) regular wear and tear. nothing major.

4) the only problem (brand new or used) is once you start modding it's hard to stop!
