Looking to buy an Evo - Need help

[Murlo26]

One thing to remember, Evo's are fairly bulletproof so aside from a compression and leakdown test don't be afraid to bite at one if the price is right.

I would be more concerned about finding out if it was in an accident or not...that led to 2 years of nonsense on my first evo.

Thanks, what you just said takes some of the worries off my shoulders.

Interesting hearing this comment come from a guy who has gone through 2 evo motors if I am not mistaken...

I have?

I blew my 4b11t, one of em...these talks are about the 4G63 which i place more faith in for the bulletproof department. The evo X 4b11t is nice but still new so who knows.

I sold my Evo 8 and despite the nonsense of the lawsuit it never gave me problems, they are very good cars assuming you check the health of the motor.

For some reason, I though I heard you had issues with the motor on the Evo 8 as well. Must have received bad info.

Motor no...body, yes because it was in a previous accident that Carfag didn't show and the dealer lied to me about so I had to go to court with them, man it sucked.

Despite the problems with brakes sucking from being worn, wheel bearing from the accident, worn tires and some body damage, the car was a blast to drive and worked great
