Any new 05's left??????
 

I realize it's a pretty far-fetched question, but please humor me!!!!!

:mitsu: :D

Try getting a used 05 because I doubt there are any left. Well atleast here where I live. Hope you can find one though! Best of luck!

I'd like to know that too. Once i get this new job, and i see i'm making enough money, i'd rather buy an 05 mostly because i'd rather have the traditional 4G63 motor rather than the Mivec.

yeah...mivec sux.... :rolleyes: :dunno:

have you seen the power the new 9s make?

the mivec is where it is

if you're very serious about one then ask a dealer to make a search and put down a deposit, they might have to bring it from the other side of the country but if you really want an 05 then its worth it

I'm sure there are. You night have to go out of state though.

you could get one of ebay I saw http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/HIGH-...QQcmdZViewItem

has about 234 miles on it, and I think thats the best you could find.
Good luck with your search.

The Mivec ARE a lot faster and do make sweet whp with a few bolt-on's, but how reliable are they? The old 4G63 have been around since the 1st gen Eclipse and i believe Galant-VR4, i'm just not sure about the new Mivec reliability. I could be wrong, they might be just as good, if not better. Ontop of that, i didn't do too much reading on the IX's.

Another thing is, VIII should be cheaper :p

Thanks guys!!!

i wouldn't be so worried about mivec. its been around for a while, its just the first time on the evo. and i'm sure you can find new 05's still - just gotta walk the internet.

there are a few in NC, i was close to getting one but took the ix instead

The MIVEC does help but its not responsible for the all the power gains, 90% of the power improvement is from the turbo....

A dealer ship in chicago still has two fully loaded silver 2005 evo 8's for sale. its called luxury motors in orland park,IL the price they have on it is 29,750 plus i am sure you could get good financing

there are a few left in vegas too. im sure if you put a deposit down they will ship to you...
