Well as far as I know it was only a 5 speed LOL I'm used to 5 speeds so I didn't even try for a 6th... LOL

It does NOT have blue seats these are black leather, it has HID's and Infinity sound system with sub in the trunk

Welcome the forum and soon to be Evo world. There are several of us local so I'm sure one of us could go check it out with you. It's possible that the low boost could be a boost leak somewhere or the guage may be inaccurate. It would be really helpful to take someone who has a tactrix cable and could check to see if there is a tune on the car and what it looks like. As far as differences between the models, the MR will be a 6 speed, the RS is bare car (no power windows, no radio I think). The RS is rare so it's unlikely it's an RS.

Edit: After looking at the link, it looks like an SSL package. I will say this though, I think it might be a little overpriced for having 60k miles. It's been a year since I sold mine but I would compare it what they're going for in the for sale section of EvoM.

Can't you get a IX for about that price these days? If so that would be the better way to go IMO

To the new guy, welcome to EvoM and the Evo world! That car looks OK, but like others have said get something to check it out with you and do a leak test. Also, that's way overpriced for an VIII. There are IX MRs going for that much. Check out this section to get an idea on pricing: https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/sale-cars-sale-134/

I would say don't pay more than $16-17k for that car if that's the car you want.

To the other guys, I'm going to wash my car now and then head up to the meet. See you guys around 10:30 or so.

That was Jason, and he's not new...he's been to more meets than you have!

Good to see you...wish you could've had a chance to peek at the exhaust. I think I'm just going to order those hangers and see if that does the trick...
