I used to have an VIII from 07' to 09' (the IX was too spensive at the time, still is). was mildly tuned, but still the piston rings got fucked in late 09', was still buried in the loan at the time, got outta it.
This is what I did. Bought an evo 5 rolling shell for 3k, has a bit of dings and bad paint on the bumper but easily fixable. Then I bought a brand new evo 8 engine to put in it for 4k. Now it’s worth around 10-12k but I don’t think I’m ever gonna sell it
Great video! I've owned my evo 8 mr since 06 and have no plans to ever sell it. Did I mention it's also my daily? Haha. 1000% accurate on the go kart statement. Also, Jennifer needs to go get educated.
08:55, forget the rev counter! My Beetle Type 1s had none.. You can tell if a clutch is good if an engine stalls when attempting to move from rest with second gear engaged. If it doesn't stall when engaged in third gear, the clutch is 'definitely' worn and needs immediate replacement.
I bought an evo 8, coolant over flow would bubble/boil turns out bad headgasket but hell I rebuilt my evo 2 weeks into owning it haha! Definitely worth it
Insurance !!! I bought an X when I was about 40, and it ended up costing me about $60 per month to insure, but about half the insurers I approached wouldn't even quote for any type of Evo. And you're right bro, they're total money pits!
yeah, I tried looking again this year. same costs as when I got a used evo8 in 07'. but now fewer of them, waaay more modified ones you can't smog & getting OE parts is tougher with less dealers in the states now (online & aftermarket support is strong). this year I got an 06' 350z enthusiast for 6k OTD. short term finance even, will pay off quick, fun enough to drive. sometimes you gotta step back for perspective & see if it makes sense (which it doesn't) cars are a loosing investment over time/miles.
Thanks a lot for the video!! I am looking to buy one (literally is my dreams car!! I want it since I was like 6 years old) but a guy tried to sell me a Evo with most of the issues that u said ;-;
I bought my lightning yellow 2005 Evo 8 new and still have it to this day. I only have 26K miles and it still smells brand new and the paint is still glossy. If I ever sell it I’ll be asking for top dollar
Heck I got my x a year ago and still loving it plus now it’s pushing 491hp 28 psi boost trying to lay low don’t want to risk it, but maybe someday going fully build and hope to shoot for 700 to 800 hp😇
U was right about everything u said about the evo because I test drove a evo 10 and the guy was saying they r Expensive to insure because they know what u going to do to it
I actually work at a Mitsubishi dealer right now Art Moran. The biggest issue with these cars is the transmission and drive train, specifically the front differential witch is a viscous differential meaning you cannot fix it have to buy a whole new one if it breaks. When it does it usually also means you have to do a AYC pump as well (pumps fluid into limited slip diffs to allow the awd system to change wheel speeds, technically these are transmissions because they do slip in and out using the AYC pump like a automatic trans would but do not completely slip out as all it does is change the speeds of all 4 wheels to allow maximum attack).Many cars we resell that are evos have been boosted and abused and usually in a mileage between 40,000-60,000 and we end up doing $10,000 worthof repairs. The manuals need a new clutch every 15,000 along with trans flush, automatic trans only last 60,000-80,000 that's if you do the trans flush every 15,000 and then they blow up. Do not push over 500hp on any evo unless you spend the money on the clutch, trans, diffs, and upgraded ayc pump. The better parts of the cars are the engines fyou want to make power, spend the money on the drive line or just keep it stock. Most of the stuff ive learned is from being a tech assist with both of the Techs there doing electrical and heavy tech work. Best bets for anyone wanting an evo BUY AN EVO 8 AND REBUILD IT
Same thing happened when i got my 98 ss. People that don’t know always ask why i paid that much for an old car .I paid 12k for her but the guy had all the receipts and the carfax. I checked the car over with my dad and it checked out with only 42k miles.
I recently bought a Lancer 2010 how much do you recon will cost me to modify as an eco and boost H/P ? I really do want to modify it .... and also where do I by parts etc? Thanks bro
I had to pay an extra $6K for mine. They would only give me $16K for it and it was $22K in mint condition. Well worth it. Though at 700whp it's needing a new clutch and trans refresh. That's just one thing among the maintinence like you said. Spend probably $200 every couple months on oil, plugs, fluids...etc.
MR TRUMP MR FARAGE MR JOHNSON ! Hard to drive on San Francisco hills w stick. Yea, i was a little crazy, had it since brand new 2006, 12 yrs old. Got an Rs3 to compensate 😜
I’m new in the game and I don’t fully understand why I have to check if modifications were done. I mean that isn’t generally a bad thing isn’t it? So how he could trick me with no telling me?
I didn’t even bother to go through all that checking you told me on ur UA-cam I just bought my evo x and now I’m pushing 491hp tunes by JM Automotive in Osseo Minnesota and my X is running good so all these information are really depending how unlucky you are when buying a used evo 😂😂😂😂
Hey Miguel nice evo 9, also fun fact the USA back in 2002 (I believe that was the year) but they introduced 7 evo 7’s (yes America didn’t even get that particular evo) but it was because of the Paul walker evo 7
But overall these are very overpriced(which is obviously) you’re not buying an evo for luxury, it’s not an is300 😂. And plus with the evos fast and furious (at least with the 8 and 9) is what made them what they are today.
okey guys i need help. I found a Evo 8 with 80.000 miles on it, it has close to 400 hp not heavily modified. Is this a warner trigger or is it cool? thx
Been thinking about buying an evo ether a 8,9 or even a X there not super expensive around here they normally go for $12000-$22.000 here.... but if that doesn't work out I'm going for a 2g gsx or tsi to add to my collection 😁
Someone is selling me a 2006 Mitsubishi Lancer · Evolution IX Sedan for 2k and it has 145,000 miles should I buy it and also can this car be upgraded To make it fast?
Every evo of that age will have had repair and maintenance done on it, stock or modified. So no use looking at bolts or radiators for signs of being touched.
Me watching this with $10.67 in my bank account
StainnlessPlays I felt that hard
Once you get your dream job or join military, your bank acc will skyrocket
Me watching with -12.37
Kevin m. Unfortunately That’s not even close to being true.
Kevin m. Not how it works at all. A lot of military guys actually get ripped off and don’t even get those huge sign on bonuses they’re promised.
To late already have one and it was the greatest choice of my life
Justin Dennison right?
How much u bought for?
Showtimedang $23,500 all factory stock with the exception of a turbo timer with 22,000 miles
Felix F no it was all original
@@justindennison5044wtf when? I bought mine for 26k at 65000 miles. Clean as hell tho. Properly maintained.
My clutch is slipping... but that's because I had to give some fools the sauce from a dig
It happens haha
@@MiguelDsm I was gonna throw in an ACT clutch anyway, oh well, it was worth taking them to gapplebees
Lmao 😂 this comment has me dyin 💀
😂😂😂😂
I’m hoping that Mitsubishi really does bring back the Evo. Used evos are so expensive and abused that it’s hard to justify paying for them.
And they will, I present to thee, EvolutionCross!
Okay I have to watch this since I plan getting an EVO let me take some notes
Enjoy!
Who else dislikes Jennifer? 😂
😂
Lmao "fuck you Jennifer " SUBBBEDD
Typically Deiarea Mouth making Noise about something they know Nothing about !!!
Me lol
Can someone tag jennifer? 😂
I'll definitely keep this in mind if I ever buy an Evo. I want one but hardly see them.
The rarer the better 😎
I honestly wouldn’t have thought about a lot of this stuff. Super helpful and a great video 💯
Thanks man!
Don't plan on buying an EVO in good shape , just plan on an EVO to rebuild , getting more expensive every day !
Bruce Holinight just buy an evo shell and 4g63 seperate. Cheap as
Luckily in my country an evo is still below MSRP when it was brand new.
I used to have an VIII from 07' to 09' (the IX was too spensive at the time, still is). was mildly tuned, but still the piston rings got fucked in late 09', was still buried in the loan at the time, got outta it.

Di5Dude where do you live?
I just got mine 1 month ago. I got the 2012 MR. Love it and just like he says I'm not planning on selling it.
You just keep on killing it with your videos you are doing a good job and keep it up and I love your Evo it's so nice and keep the videos coming
Thanks dude!
Great video! I've owned my evo 8 mr since 06 and have no plans to ever sell it. Did I mention it's also my daily? Haha. 1000% accurate on the go kart statement. Also, Jennifer needs to go get educated.
Good video, I've just bought an Evo X fq330 sst and a fq400, Thank you for the advice Miguel.
Duuude ur evo so clean sounds very nice man love it
Owned a viii mr for a year and all I had to do was service it once £100 on fluids all in ... loved owning one
Got new in 07 for 31,000 still got it on 64,000 love it
thanks for the video, i'm thinking of buying an EVO 9, and i needed this video.
As an ex owner of on evo 9 fq400 this was very accurate 👌 and awesome car bro 😍
That’s a beautiful evo man

Thank you for the info man. Looking into buying one
GREAT VIDEO! LOVE THE EVO! 👍🏻
Thanks mang!
Insurance costs in germany are so damn high, I won't be able to afford an Evo in years... and still I'm watching videos about buying an Evo all day :I
Have a hell of a deal on an Evo 8 with 71k miles. Hope she’s good to go!!🤞🏽

60 is cheap compared to 450 in NY for full coverage
Ahhh... Evo IX, the last great Evo.
Sick video dude! 🙏🏻
Thanks!
I want an evo, but goddamn they’re expensive and high mileage
Yup!
Bought my Evo 8 with 72000 miles on the body and like 25000 on the AMS 2.3 stroker.

Tai Wilson at least Evo’s and Subies keep their value overtime. So they’re better investments than others
Why am I watching this, it's not like I'll ever get one of them anyway
why not?

Currently in the process of looking for a 8/9 and saving some cash
My Evo 4 was super fun to get financed due to there not being an actual value on it in the US
Evo 9 stage 2.. you are my dream car.. 😇😇

Sounds about right. Nice numbers though!
how much did it cost to repair
I just bought an sc300, did I make the wrong choice 😮
What tires are those!? they look like they a really nice tread pattern👌
Just sold my evo9 MR a year ago, looked exactly like yours, 75k miles. Stock. Sold high. Missing it very much! The bronze wheels pop!
You mad man why you sell it???
MR TRUMP MR FARAGE MR JOHNSON ! Hard to drive on San Francisco hills w stick. Yea, i was a little crazy, had it since brand new 2006, 12 yrs old. Got an Rs3 to compensate 😜
What model is your evo Miguel??, thank you.
Holy hell!! I paid under 19K for my Evolution wagon 9 GT, 6 speed with 100K miles on it. But that e brake is sky high 🤣🤣
What’s the wheel specs ? And tire looks so clean
I’m new in the game and I don’t fully understand why I have to check if modifications were done. I mean that isn’t generally a bad thing isn’t it? So how he could trick me with no telling me?
My brother bought off dealer and headgasket went off 2 day
The owner of the shop where I take my car has an 2006 MR in white with 37,000 miles. Its in mint condition and he’s been the only owner
Your advise is for any cars that are high performance. Not just for Evo's.
what is the color code of wheel or color name? I really like it.
Wish I could afford one of these my dream car
I didn’t even bother to go through all that checking you told me on ur UA-cam I just bought my evo x and now I’m pushing 491hp tunes by JM Automotive in Osseo Minnesota and my X is running good so all these information are really depending how unlucky you are when buying a used evo 😂😂😂😂

what fitment is this
