Looking to buy an evo

Helllo. So I drive a Honda s2000 at the moment but I need more than 2 seats haha.. Been driving that for a year now and I love taking to the canyon and what not but I need more seats. So I was looking at a another Honda 08 civic si sedan but the front wheel drive is such a turn off.. So I love evos I was looking to purchase I have around 20k.and the all wheel drive sounds so fun lol. What are some things I should be looking out for.. I read the new owners thread with what to look out for but what's a good mileage I heard around 70k a new timing built is needed?? Thanks..

I had an 08 civic si, it was fun but awd + turbo= best combo ever! timing belt should be done around 60k. I got my evo with 62k on it. it was pretty much stock just had a turbo back exhaust. I havent had any major problems with it.

So if I get one with over 60k make sure the timing belt was replaced by a reputable shop?just want to make sure my Honda was a pain in my ***.. I rushed the purchased to find the motor was beat to hell and turboed with scored cylinder walls... 3g's later it's in mint condition with a low miles motor.. That was a year ago now just don't to have another massive headache haha
