I found one of the few blue evos with aero and sss left on the east coast.. problem is its built in nov07 and motor/cars built prior to april 08 have had oil leakage by the timing cover, ecu reflash problems. I dont want to have the hassle but damn it I'm so close to getting the car I always wanted.

 

how do you know this one has these problems?

 

Do it!!!

 

Because it is a very good chance, I would say don't get it, because you might have a ton of issues to deal with.

I lucked out since I got a April 08 Model

 

Make sure you get 0% and an awesome deal!

 

Do you want the car? Deal with the risk of the hassle if you really want it. If not, then you shouldn't be getting one anyway, problems can happen with every car. It's whether they are worth owning the car or not that matters.

 

I have one built in December 07 and have not had any of the problems others have seen.. yet anyway.

 

same here. I've had a few problems but not the leaks. Although i expected to have some problems, guess I was alone on that.

 

If your having second thoughts about the purchase, then I would suggest holding off till you find the right gem.

Remember, your not buying a civic.

 

just do it. if there are any problems, it'll be warrantied anyway. if you can get a good deal, go for it.

 

How do you find out the build date of your evo?

 

just look at the car number under the bonnet

 

Yeah, found the big sticker by the driver side door

 

All that **** will probably happen under warranty. They will reflash the ECU for you for free if they havent already. The only inconvenience to you will be driving a rental car. I say do it.

 

Mine was built Jan08... so far no issues yet. Car runs perfect. I say buy it... as long as you have no plans abusing it, you shouldn't have any problems.
