after market intake, manual boost controler( obviously messed with the boost) , missing the upper strut stabilising bar and after market mini battery kit. The car does look fairly clean, but when you look at an evo, manual boost controler is always a turn off for most because messing with boost is messing with the tune and if so most dealers tune the car back to stock. Is very limited what we can see from the pics, don;t know if it has after market turbo, engine internals etc. What I said about my buddy drove the car out of the dealer ship took it to the highway that week and blew the head gasket because the turbo vacumm lines were all screwed up, the turbo was maxing out blowing 30 pounds completely out of tune and certainly not ready to be under boost this was a car right of a dealership.

first off i'll be straight up its going to be damn near impossible to find a stock evolution 8 or 9.
you might find one who's owner put the car back to stock but not all originally stock, your price range for a good well kept evo will run you anywhere from $18k to possibly the mid $20s
good luck in your search.

dont rush at all, if you find one make sure its clean. if you can ask the owner to bring it to a shop with you and throw it up on a lift and get a good look under too not all about if the engine is modded, if its done right its just a head start. mine was all stock pretty much but the last owner look like he went off road and banged up the frame rail under passenger side, no big deal. but i prob would have waited to get a better one.

Thanks for all info I wouldn't mind getting one with some mods I do like stock but hey if the mods is done right and price is right of course I will buy it. I'm checking daily on autotrader and cars.com. I will travel just about anywhere as well.
