They don't last past 5,000 miles. Buy the BMW you are looking at. End of story.

mine had no problems I didnt directly cause, and it got sold with 50k on the odometer and those were hard miles including more than 10 track days and a series of modifications. The only part i ever broke was the stock plast BOV and the new evo's dont use that BOV any more, this was caused by me trying to run 22lbs of boost on the stock bov.

evo motors will easially go 150k with proper maintance. its just the rest of the car you have to worry about :)

+1.. good maintance and low abuse will make your car last.

Kinda along the same line, is it even worth it to buy an evo with so many miles on it? Such as 30-40k? If so what do you think it should be worth?

im new to the evo world.. just got mine last march. i have 16k on it 90% Fwy miles.. stay outta boost and keep it under 3k and gas consumption is almost nothing.. change your oil on time.. give it good loving and it ill last like a toyota.. :)
