All right everybody I have the chance to get my hands on a Evo V GSR (J) for $23,000 with 15,000m. Tell me why I SHOULDN'T pick it up.

 

i need to get some input

 

Is it legal to be driven in the U.S.?Right hand Drive still? Imported, and re assembled here? and where is the car from it isnt from a dealer that specailizes in importing cars is it?

I also would worry about some things like finding proper parts and stuff. I am not fimiliar with the EVO V being imported in the U.S. only a few supras and stuff so I am curious

 

its totally legal to drive in the states. Ive changed my mind on which model i have found an Evo III for $11,000 it has no aftermarket engine mods. Only a turbo timer. It has 67,000m. Ralliart will be in the US soon so parts will be more available in a few months. Here are some pics

So does anybody have an opinion on this opp. to import

 

i say go for it.. cant hurt its a sweet lookin car :-D

 

well it appears to be a very clean example...

in the England theres plenty of these evo 3 's about ... their not to rare .....

but i know all the evo 3 owners i speak to , ... complain about the availability of parts ...

some owners even to have things handmade ... and most try salvage breakers for mitsubishi parts

rather than waiting for the part to arrive from japan ..

 

I believe it is VERY HARD to import a vehicle....people try and fail. Thats why you don't see these imports all over the place.

 

exactly true...I know a kid nearby here who was "importing" a EVO VII needless to say after a year of waiting and fighting for his deposit bach he has an 05 EVO VIII.

this thread hasnt been poted in for a month kinda brought back from the dead im not sure if mitsusales still vistits the site

 

Evolution Imports has had some issues with getting things imported in a timely manner. I would simply talk to the guys on the phone and just get an honest answer from them as to when you can expect to receive it.

These cars are sent from Japan to the Bahamas. They have a place in the Bahamas that break the car down to the chasis and brought here to Orlando for reassembly. I know one of the guys that works there and he's a good dude. He's always driving around in some RHD car everytime I see him.
