Hey everybody, I'm a complete newbie. I've been looking to get an Evo, preferably a 8 or 9. I was looking on facebook marketplace the other day and found a listing. Could you guys take a look and tell me if these are any good? Thank you for you time.

and another one

 

That works!

My .02 worth

• The 03 w/the 158K miles. I would steer clear. Wide body & certainly heavily modded. I see the TRE transfer case which is good but this would be my last pick. The wide body kinda throws me off unless it was fitted professionally & clean?
• The 05 looks the best from that shot. Looks like English as had their hand in the car which is a good thing. Just need more info on the engine as it notes the chassis has 200K but maybe 100K on a rebuilt drivetrain? Top choice!
• The 03 looks good as well and could be the best choice as it appears stockish?

Any questions, let me know

 

thanks again. also, what should i ask them once i get in contact directly? anything i should mention or check with them, and common things that get overlooked?

 

Well:

• Regarding the 05, need to know if the motor was built by English? He noted the head was fully built but wonder about the bottom end? Maybe the bottom end is OE stock (which is ok)
• Most of us here would recommend having a health inspection done on the engine to determine compression value & a leak down test. The underbody must be inspected to ensure you are not buying a rusted / corroded issue!
