'05 or '06 EVO?

Looking to buy EVO asap for a new daily driver in time for winter. Now, I am trying to find a WW or EB, but dont know if I should go with a 05 Evo 8, or 06 EVO 9. One of the big reasons I am searching for these instead of 03-04 is b/c of lower mileage, better interior (especially the seats), turbo, and I have heard some of the 03-04's are more prone to problems.

From my research the EVO 9 has differenct front bumper, headlights, tailights, bigger turbo, MIVEC motor.

How should I expect to pay for a used 05-06 evo with 10-30K miles.

I would really like to get an EVO IX, but its really hard to find a good car in one of those two colors.

I would like to keep it around $24-25 to find a clean evo. Should I wait it out and find an EVO 9? or Maybe save some money and find a 05 evo 8? Or, sacrafice color and get an good deal on a black or silver evo 9?

I really like my IX. You are probably in the ball park for a IX around 25k depending on miles. Happy hunting

Be patient and wait for a good deal. Do some research, call your local dealers and see what they have to offer.

Its kinda a crap shoot on buying a used evo. Most evos have been tracked and u need make sure that the clutch and the drive line are ok

I'd get a IX based on looks alone but the turbo and motor are capable of making more power with less money.
