Ready to buy an evo

I haven't been able to find to many EVO 8's in maryland on here for sale. But I did find one on another website and wanted your opinion. I'll give you a parts list, and would like to know what kind of problems I might have with them. Also, what upgrades I should be looking at after I have the car? I'm not set on this car, I just like to do extensive research before I buy anything and am obviously a newb trying to learn.... Thanks in advance.

buying a car that has a lot of work done to it isn't a great as u think. along with all the part you gotta think about how badly the car was beat on, no one gunna put money into a car and not get the most out of their aftermarket parts, you know??

if youre gunna get an evo your best bet is get a fully stock one, owned by an older gentlmen.. just keep your eyes out and you'll come across one.. it took me a few months till i finally found my evo. Graphite gray 100% bone stock, only 17,800 miles. and it was owned by an older guy. he is in his like late 30's
