05 EVO for sale in vancouver?
 
I dunno if this has been discuss before. But i was looking on craigslist and I saw an EVO 2005 in vancouver. just wondering if the law has changed or is it just a scam

i thought it was always legal to import MR2s and GTOs, because we had the canadian version here (dodge stealth was the GTO equivalent)? or did i miss something? :confused:

The government changed the bumper laws a few years ago so it is now legal to import cars like the evo 8 and 9's, VW R32's, and the MRS.

Car's on the not allowed list like the Elise and Exige and 91-93 SE-R sentra's are still on the not allowed list since they were not allowed to due to non-bumper related reasons.

OP. Even with an Evo, you are not going be beating that GT-R.

Just get a new girlfriend.

curious...majority of ppl


which one would u prefer



EVo/ STi??? drop everything and ignore the Evo being more rare, lets say they were selling it since the 90s in canada



personally i always been a EVO fan over STi


stock for stock since the past decades EVO has always been better in the performance category/speed than STi, but STi is more mod friendly with minor adjustment for instant power over EVO. Not saying the EVO cant get power

thumper 09-10-2009 07:05 AM

the few people i know who used to have EVOs said they ultimately sold them because of either too many expensive breakdowns, or the car just beat them up too much for daily driving :(

those that i know who have gone from an STi to an EVO say they wanted something more hardcore.

myself i have very little real-life experience to go on. i did get a brief ride in a stock 07 evo on the interstate in WA and i thought those highway expansion joints were going to break my back or drive me insane with all the rattling inside the car :o

Shit, are you talking about Evo 8/9? They are unreliable?

thumper 09-10-2009 09:42 AM

the one i rode in was an evo9. the others were older. best to search the mitsu forums... all cars have their issues, and subaru isn't problem free either.

I've always liked EVO's 8 and 9.

sexyaccord 09-10-2009 12:09 PM

evo 5 was the best with the wide body

josel_atr 09-10-2009 01:10 PM

thats not a scam dude. its for real.

last time i checked, craigslist has 3 or more evo's advertised. one is that white one. i think i know who's selling it. nice guy. anyway, the other two are evo 9's. a dealer is bringing them in.

you guys should see more evos coming in from the us. the CAD is doing really good so importing one is really do-able.

haha you actually bought an ISF? are you still trying to beat your buddy's GTR? hahaha just get a new girl already.

bcedhk 09-10-2009 01:19 PM

ya, i see a few white MR2's with BC plates roaming around burnaby area pretty fequently. and majority of them driven by girls

elkayem 09-10-2009 01:57 PM

STi > EVO

Chestnut 09-10-2009 02:22 PM

esteaai > Evo
