evo 8 or 9..what to do!

Where are you finding them for 18k? I have only found one evo ever for 18k. It was a white one, beautiful, very few mods, and had 60k on it.

Here is this one for almost 20k but I'm sure it could go for 18-19k.
I also saw some on evom for 17-18k and my neighbor's brother in law is trying to sell his for 17k. But I'm trying to buy local cars and really not interested in any cars more then 5hours away.

You are not going to find a clean unmolested Evo for less than 20. Just isnt going to happen.

If you do, it will have 50k on it and has probably been modded and returned to stock.

^^that is the only thing that is a negative about not knowing the personal history of the car unless you know the previous owner.

I would get an Evo VIII MR. Not that I have anything against MIVEC, but I hear that some people actually swap out the MIVEC head for the Evo VIII non-mivec head. Plus an VIII would be cheaper and I like the way they look better.

If you are going to go with a used Evo, I'd go with the Evo VIII. If you are looking for a new one, I'd wait the extra 8 months until the Evo X hits dealerships and go with that. But this is my opinion.

I've heard of even more people selling their VIII's for the IX. At BPU levels the IX makes more power dollar for dollar. But if you plan to go nuts with the mods, then yeah, might as well get an VIII.

Well, just buy Nash's car.

Very attractive for pricing. I was thinking of Ron@RS, I think his was being sold at 30k.

I'd recomend a 03 with only 32,000 miles and a biult engine:D
