03 Evo

hi, I'm looking at buying an 03 Evo and was wondering if there was any problems or bugs that might incourage me to buy an 04+ model. Thanks

It's a whole year older, so it generally will have much higher mileage. The first year the Evo came to the U.S. ... the list goes on bro.

If you can afford a IX then get that one. Otherwise just make sure whatever one u buy is/was well maintained.

I would go with at least the '05. Get a hp bump up with the 05 along with the ACD. But the best choice obviously is the 06 IX if you can do it.

The 03 and 04 years are the same. just make sure it was taken care of and maintinence records are provided to you. My 03 is great and plenty fast for me.

This needs to be moved to the newbie section. LY means Lightning Yellow. It's a color.
