Evo 8 worth it?
 

2005, Evo 8, in great condition with 71k miles worth 20k? Minor mods, all servicing has been done, garage kept etc.

and white.

Too much money imo. You can get a evo 9 for that....

Where! lol

I've poured through So Cal stuff for a few months now, I could get a raggedy evo 9 for 15k with 130k miles, most of the good ones are 22K+.

If it checks out, no leaks, good compression, good transmission, and receipts for a timing belt change, I'd say worth it. Swarm over the thing like ants at a picnic.

Overpriced. That is nearly 9 money. You can find a clean 8 for 15Kish, just have to search nationwide.

Don't let people tell you the car is too much. Clean CT9a's aren't a dime a dozen anymore. If the car is what you want, it checks out with an independent mechanical inspection (compression and leak down test are important), and it is clean, snag it up. You can always negotiate, but 71k miles is reasonably low.

I second this {thumbup}

I'd also get a IX for that kind of money.

This! I think many folks forget that the '05 VIII had the upgraded front diff, the 10.5 hotside and ACD. Relative to a IX it's not as bad as say an '03 VIII.

Its easy to spend someone else's money. For my money, I would spend ~22K on a 9, then sell/swap the interior and BBS wheels, and end up back at 20K spent, with Mivec and a 9 front bumper to boot :)

There you go, spending someone elses money....:lol:
