Hey guys i am looking into buying an Evo in a few days. i was going to get one from this dealership near me its an Evo 8 WW for $19k and only 32k on the Odometer. i noticed looking at the pictures that the windows were manual. now this really doesn't bother me much but is there a down side to these windows?

I have owned a vw and been in the scene since i started driving and looking to get into a real car thats fun to drive. i was just hoping that you guys on here could help me out with this one. what are the ups and downs to having manual windows or does it really not matter? anyone that has them ever get annoyed? any input you can give me would be great its just i see that and it makes me thing the car is not "up to date" i guess you could say. but input from the Evolution community is greatly appreciated! Thanks!

 

Either way. I like having them, but they weigh a good bit, so manual windows is a plus if it's gonna be a track car.

 

its not a track car i am looking into one for a DD. i love evo's and STI's always have and they are a good rivalry. but STI's insurance is Rediculous and i love evo's they are rare here in PA. but i mean is it a bad idea for the price? i mean 30k on the car and its an 05? maybe 04? i forget is that still good?

 

Just means its an RS which means its the race version and saves a bunch of weight.

 

It means that is has little to no insulation, manual windows, no a/c, aluminum roof and I think that's it.

 

there is no A/C?? it says it has it, yes it is an RS

Either way would it still be a good buy? there is an AC button in the center console. but it seems like a solid buy. but i would like feedback from the community that knows about them im new to the scene. just looking to buy from a dealership and its hard to come across a WW and thats all i really want

 

Pretty sure all RS's come with AC. Idk where you got that from mayne, but idk.

 

Usdm RS have a/c.
I almost drive mine daily and wounldnt have it any other way

Sounds like a pretty good deal if its a clean well kept car.

 

yeah i really like it and was really hoping to get into the scene i love the cars my friend has one and i have yet to get a ride... what a friend right? ahhaha but looking to test drive it soon

 

and one more thing could you guys give me some good websites were you can get parts from i have been in the German scene so those are the only sites i know haha

 

Being an RS it won't have ABS either

 

Snag it man! You won't be sorry!

 

It shouldn't be an issue. Before my Evo I had a Mazda 3 with no power locks or windows. At first I didn't think it would be an issue but over the course of two years I regretted not forking up the extra $2k. The only situation I see where no power windows would sucks is if another car rolled up next to you and lowered their windows to "challenge" or make some gesture. Then you would have to find a way to reach over to the passenger side and roll it down if you're driving solo. IDK but it's your call. I was just giving you a scenario.

 

Rs has a different turbo to the GSR dosent it ??

 

the only difference between the RS and GSR is: No wing, no radio, aluminum roof, trunk tie bar for better handling, no power windows or locks, not as much sound insulation, and LSD. For $19k with 30k miles i think its waaaay to good, so inspect the car really good before buying it, and def carfax it.

The turbos are the same
