lets play a little game
Nine envying an Eight! Someone wrecked this worse than showed....found eight parts for less than nine parts, so decided to save....on top of not knowing anything about these cars and thought they were all the same.....POS IMO I wouldnt pay 10k for it.....If I was that seller i would have spent the extra cash for a new Core.....IDIOTS and I hope he/she reads this!
what i always thought "turns on a dime" meant was that the car could turn around on a dime, being a dime is small. so what he said really doesnt make any sense. and when u list an evo on ebay alot of times the options come up with the ones from the lancer, thats why you see cruise control alot and sometimes even power seats
First of all, the seller's grammar is absolutely atrocious. No subject-verb agreement, missing words, it is damn near impossible to read.
Second, a 2006 with 63,000 miles? Did the previous owner run smack across country for a living?
Third, the ACD is set to Gravel? Why would you drive on the paved parking lot in the gravel mode.
Fourth, car is all original, the "only aftermarket accessories IS the wheels"? WTF is that large cone air filter? That is not an option for an Evo. That is another aftermarket part, which in turn tells me that the dealer knows jack schitt about this and probably every other car on the lot.
Did I hit the points for which you were looking?

The stock Enkie rims are good enough but I don't know why those rims. I rather those money into other mods

I saw a white one like this once. It was a 2006 but had a LOT of VIII parts such as the blue seats and so on. It is odd. Only one of the previous owners knows the truth.
But looking at that intercooler and missing undertray I can almost guarantee there's more unseen....

Hell yeah... That's a huge give away right there ^... And that many miles on a IX is a lot... IDK... But that car was really abused and before the owner sold it, he must of parted some of his IX stuff to his other EVO pal.. The car is seriously f'ed IMHO...

It may be the angle of the picture being taken but does it look the the core support is a bit bent on the passenger side where the radiator stay is bolted in?

its definitely a 9 since it has mivec, you cant put that valve cover on another car so it has to be a 9. It has evo 8 rear bumper, interior, headlights and tailights. Looks like someone traded a bunch of pieces off before deciding to sell. I wonder if that IC is leaking too.
someone posted about this a few months back.. he and his friend were switching all the parts off of a ix that got the **** raped out of it and getting traded back to the dealer. they took all the parts off his friends VIII and threw them on the IX and all the IX parts onto the VIII. who knows if its even an VIII or IX head as they may have just swapped everything. the turbo prolly doesn't have a 10.5 hotside... i don't remember where this was posted or by who, but i remember it got quite a few people pissed off. i pray no one gets stuck with this car. it is a slew of crap parts taken off beat up evos in exchange for other parts that the dealer would never notice
