well i have decided on something, even tho im most likely gonna lose my liscnece for 3 months i still want an evo, and i will buy one. ill pay what i must to drive it, i landed a decent job making decent money so to hell with it im buyin one. anyone seen any used ones for sale around central illinois? i dont wanna deal with EVOM because most of the ones selling are highly modified or too far away, but if i have to i will travel but only as a last resort. so help a friend out, if you see one lemme know please.
thanks in advance guys! |

It must be an '05 cuz the '06's will be Evo IX's and they haven't been released to the public yet.

From what I remember, there is a slight turbo difference resulting in more mid-range power and better low end torque as well as some gearing changes in the 5 speed transmission. Body-wise it looks more or less the same except for the front and rear fascias.

Not much of a difference at all for the cost  Edit.....Here is teh results....

One difference I forgot to mention is the 9 has MIVEC for whatever its worth. Overall, I agree with TT. The 8 and 9 are not very different at all power-wise and looks-wise. Now, if they stick with the concept design on the 10 that will be a huge difference in a few years.

can you get the loan/do you have a cosigner? If you just started your job and don't have good credit/alot of money down, it might be tough to get financed.
Just my 2cents. Also, if you are serious about getting one in the very near future, call me, I might be able to help you out. |

No point in driving all the way there if they are buried in it. |
