if used look at the Wing and calipers for the fade and paint chipping and have it fixed before purchase , All EVOs do that.

See if any gears are hard to get in, 2003s earliest models had bad synchro trouble. other than that if it is modded just assume it has been beat on hard. and launching to often will blow the T case up. Other than that the stock paint is not that great it fades chips and scratches very very easy. the cars are strong and handle abuse well but 7K clutch drops will hurt the drivetrain

Are you going to buy a new Mitsubishi Evo or a used one?

Sweet. I would buy used, theyre not too expensive new compared to other stuff but I dont feel as bad modding an engine and putting it to its stock bottom end limits when its not a new engine.
