Bought it brand new April 26th 2006 with 9 miles on it. Traded her in to the dealership I worked for, realised what a huge mistake I made and bought her back before they even moved the car, lol!!! Paid invoice the first time for $32,914 the only paid $25,000 the second time!! I will NEVER part with her, 58,992 on the clock and will rebuild her as many times as possible!

I've always had the philosophy, never buy a new car... I am very cautious and meticulous though and this guy had 3 Evo's prior to this. Had I bought it new, I'd still be paying a ton on this car. I can't even tell I'm the second and last owner.


For those who bought new, did you keep the window sticker?
you are not the original owner, the reason for this thread. anymore 2nd hand news is offtopic and will be deleted.

btw, I got mine brand new, 2006 evo 9 mr in april 2006 with 9(really?) miles and drove it 500 miles to home. it still had the inspection stickers(in japanese) on the sunvisors-overlayed it with 3M tape. the glove box airbag warning tag still intact anyes all the stickers in it until it was wrecked.
