I'm looking into buying an evo within the next few months, right after i get rid of my srt-4 and i was wondering if theres a "best year" to buy, i really want an 06 but i heard that you cant do cams on them is this true?

 

You can buy cams for the IX's (2006's).

 

Not true and get an 06 if you can.

 

Heard wrong.

06 - best of the CT9A platform, out of the box. 05's are also nice if you cannot get an 06.

But really, once modified...sky/pocketbook any are great.

 

i'd say wait and see what they do with the 09's. honestly right now the 06 is the best, but all the EVO X needs to be the best is a little more power. if you plan on modding, i'd go with an EVO X because they are beasts when modded...stock vs stock though, i'd go with a IX MR or 8 MR if you can find one.

 

depends what you want to do with the car

dd with light mods - ix or low mile viii

big turbo/built motor/drag racing/road racing - viii and go wild

search

 

I think your best value can be had in buying a nice 2003 EVO VIII. You should be able to find a nice one for about $18,500.

There are currently 98 '03 EVOs on CARS.com and 18 are under $18,500.

 

go with a 05 evo viii and go wild and modify it!

 

Like op said, it all depends on what your plans are with the car

 

06

 

evo VIII 05

better gearing , ACD system, and 10.5 Hotside

 

i say they all good exept for 2003 first year wonder alot of my friends that have 03 got recalls and problems but 04 and up are best.

 

i don't like the way the EVO IX front end looks. EVO VIII

 

06 all day everyday

 

+1 for the 06
