Newbie Looking to buy a nice evo 8 or 9

Hey everyone, I've been interested in evo's since 03 but the time has finally come for me to grab one up. I'm bj and this is my current ride, I'm not trading up just adding to my collection.

Get a good used Evo 9. They have more potential with the bigger stock turbo and the more aggressive stock cams.

But I still love my Evo 8 because I have a sunroof.

try to steer clear of 03'-04s if you can as those are the ones with the most problems. plus they have a slightly smaller turbo and hotside, and a open front diff. the 9's would be the more ideal choice as they can produce slightly more power for less.

evo 9 with TBE, fuel pump, mbc, and a tune = a evo 8 with TBE, fuel pump, mbc, cams, and tune. also the 9's come with ACD and a front LSD

btw that pic wasn't taken in forest hills was it?

Thanks for the info guys, VERY helpful. I'm looking at an 06' IX for $26,995 only 19,000miles. No mods, clean as hell in silver color even though I prefer white.

06ravenmr-wow, that's alot of cash and thanks for the advice.

UndieStainz-Thanks but I'm going though a dealer most likely.

aor awd- Excellent example, thanks by the way what is ACD? My TL has vsa (vehicle stability assistance at the push of a button is this the same) Also, not forest hills close though good eye.

You'll end up paying more through a dealer. Just make sure the EVO you buy still has the warranty in tact.
