12 or 14 MR
Hey, all! First time poster long time lurker.
Been saving up for an Evo for the better part of a year and the time has finally come now that my birthday is here. As luck would have it, there are two Evos local to me for sale right now and I cant decide on which one is my best bet. My options are:
A 12 with 9k miles. Dealer cant say for sure but presumably this has never seen winter (see:salt). Everything stock. Has Fosgate.
A 14 with 46k Miles. Everything stock. Was a dd.
I dont plan to do a whole lot to it outside some bolt ons and such. Both are the same price more or less (within $1k).
Im leaning heavily towards the 12 due to mileage and likely never having touched the car eating salt brine in the winter. But, there is a tick in the back of my mind that keeps saying newer is better.
I figured you guys would help steer me in the right direction. Thanks!

I would get the '12. Fewer miles on the MR the better. Change the SST fluid and install a Dodson sump as soon as you get it.

'12 with 9k no question (Pending clean PPI). I'm not aware of anything significant that changed between 2012 and 2014.

The head unit should be upgraded to an android unit regardless of what the car comes with lol
