last time I looked all the ones for sale were at dealers

kind of tells its own story

trouble with buying these cars at big money is that the depreciation really is savage

trouble with buying an older car is finding one that hasn't been messed about with

I've seen a few on the roads. The computers in them aren't infallible. One of them was embedded in the arnco at the ring. It was a week old. There's only so much a computer can do for you on the road.

But like Gad says, absolutely killer depreciation, tiny fuel tank, awful service intervals (is it still 4500 for the Evo X? ) and the fact that it's guaranteed to have been modded by an idiot.

Seems like they finally removed a lot of the evo's problems then. The 4500 miles services and tiny fuel tank were stupid.

Good entree.

I think I'm too old now to believe the "they've ironed out all the old problems" hype.

Chavs give these cars a terrible name.
