Silver steering wheel = VIII (IX's are black.)
Silver dash trim = VIII (IX's are cf)
The interior appears to be from a IX, but it does have a sunroof, so it could just be the ssl package. If it was a IX, I don't think anyone would have swapped the steering wheel and dash pieces from an VIII into it. Doesn't make any sense.

going to test drive it in couple hours, any thing I should look for?
I would smash on it to see if the engine feels good and the tranny doesn't grind

i just drove it... don't worry i smashed it. it mobsOriginally Posted by evobros
i really like it... the problems: exterior what not perfect. ebrake was not strong at all. front bumper was scraped up and not strong.
what i did like... strong clutch, engine, transmision, turbo, and almost perfect interior. 48,xxx miles
I want to know what you guys you pay for it.
Low mileage but beat up. Umm 17/1800

If the front bumper does not feel strong, it may not have a reinforcement behind it. Might have been in a crash and they just got a 9 bumper cover and hung it on.
With the various rash and definitely an EVO 8 that puts it more like 18k or less. Even an EVO 9 in that condition and mileage would be more like $22k-$23k max.
Look deep for signs of accident damage and prior mods and put back to stock. Have someone that has been where you are going crawl all over it.

I wouldn't pay more than $16,500 for a beater/fixer upper. Even if the internals feel good NOW, you stated the rest of the car needs work, plus the E brake is soft that means it needs new brakes or the system has issues. Have you ever had a Evo before? The reason i ask is because a Evo that has engine problems FEELS good to someone thats not use to the power of the car. Â*Originally Posted by 2006 EVO DOEE

i wanted an evo for the past 3 years, so i have been looking around a lot... im pretty serious now. i have seen cleaner evos then this one, but i have seen destroyed ones also. It is between an VIII/IX and X. the older ones are more power so im probably going to try to pick this thing up for cheap

It appears to have a jdm-style exhaust. Or an exhaust that has been cut down to fit a jdm bumper. If it has been cut down, then it's probalby a no-brainer that someone put it back to stock to sell it.
However... Ususally when people do such things, they put the stock air boxes and exhaust back on since those are pretty easy to sell. Kinda wierd that it has the cone filter on it.
On a side note, somebody detailed the FUCK out of that engine bay.
