05 Evo VIII MR Q's, possibly purchasing

Good afternoon,

Ive owned a cobalt SS/SC (2006) for 3 years now and it has always popped the dipstick out and sprayed oil all over the engine and chevy cant fix it. They have replaced the engine and it still does it so im looking to trade it in for http://miami.craigslist.org/pbc/ctd/1167597843.html

it looks like it has a TON of mods, im going to swing by today to look at the car but do you see anything that I should worry about? Also they say its a MR but the shifter only has 5 speeds isnt the MR supposed to be 6? Thanks for any info on this.

CobaltGuy

It did, but they are extremely rare, as are the red ones that year. It was the first Evo to be offered in GG and every dealer everywhere ordered it in GG making the other two colors almost like unicorns.
