I am interested in this car, but I was just wondering if this was actually a IX, because I didn't think they were made until 06.

Also, can anyone identify that exhaust?

Thanks.

 

No. It is an VIII.

 

definitely a 8

 

its an 8

1. the rims
2. the front bumper
3. the blue interior seats

 

Its an 8, cant tell which cat back. And it seems to be modded (lowered, timer...) - buyer beware.

 

thats n evo 8.. probably 2005

looks like n hks hi power exhaust to me (because i have the same one)

i wouldnt buy a used evo from a dealership, specially since the place selling it doesnt even know its a VIII !!.. there is a horror story right now going around evom about a guy who bought an evo from a car dealership that wasnt mitsubishi and they told him it was stock with warrenty, and now he has all these problems cuz it wasnt stock.. n he has to pay for some of them!

althou if u have it checked out n it comes back ok i would say get it..

but 45k miles is alot for an 05! it might be an 04?

 

Ah it has ACD - so 05.

Hey speak for yourself I have 57k on my 05!

 

its an 05 and its not an MR. The ad says its a 6 spd... but its not..you can tell by looking at the shifter

 

Obviously the dealer selling this has no clue what they are doing. This is 100% an 05 evo 8.

 

im correcting myself.. its an HKS carbon Ti.

 

God damn, what do u do, drive in circles?

 

HKS carbon ti

 

i know this may sound unreasonable to a lot of people considering the price of these cars brand new, but I wouldn't get one used... period. From a dealer or otherwise. These cars, in the wrong hands, get very abused. I had to wait 10 years to get mine, but I got her brand new and I treat her right. I can still run hard but with years of driving experience, the car isn't being abused. Again, I know it's a lot to ask since the price will definitely be higher... but in the long run, it's well worth it.

 

Actually I do.

Most of the mileage was from driving 500mi a week to and from work.

 

Nope its an viii the bumper and tails and rims are totally different
