Evo buying question

I found a bone stock 03 Evo 8 that is claimed to have been never-modded, 70-75k miles, in good condition. There are a couple shallow scratches on the paint and a minor rash on one of the rear fenders. The paint is in great condition for its age overall. Mechanically the car checked out fine.

I can pick this car up for 15k, is this a good buy? I've always loved the Evo 8/9 and now they're more rare than ever especially with this many miles and unmolested. The other car I'm considering is a '17 WRX. My new car will be my DD also.

Any thoughts, comments, concerns are appreciated!

That's a great deal in my opinion, I would've waited two years to purchase mine if I could've found a stock Evo for that price.

I think that is a good price for an evo 8 at this time. I paid 13 for a bone stock one with 80k back in 2011 but it was not perfect body wise. I feel like pricing has gone up a bit. I say jump on it!

15k seems like a good price. I wouldn't pay more. I would suggest doing a compression test since it's so easy on these cars
