buying an evo

[daisyd]

i am looking to buy an evo 6 in the summer time i dont want to pay more than 7k as i think thats were i need to be.

i am wanting some advice about what to look for when buying a 6.

i am 25 and i have been quoted £680 for insurance with my wife as a named driver is this ok.

also im not looking for a bonkers tuned evo looking for full exhaust, hks ssqv, mushroom air filter and possibly a chip would like boost gauges to come with as well to save hastle of fitting. what do you guys think.

the question = is 7k to cheap (i hope not lol)

and when im looking if someone wants to help me pick a good one would be greatly appreciated.

Kind Regards

Hello and welcome daisy lol when you say a chip evos are not chipped they are remapped so look for one thats had an ecutek remap which means future mapping sessions will be cheaper as the licence fee is already paidDo a search on here there are plenty of posts telling you what to look out for when buying your evo but put up some links to any that your thinking of looking at and we can give you our opinion

for 7k sterling you could get a decent evo 7 over here in ireland maybe your preference is a 6 but just take a look at this

MITSUBISHI EVO 7 for sale in Donegal: €7,950 - DoneDeal.ie

i have been looking into this for a guy at work too....
You will need to take the following documents to the DVLA local office (photocopies or faxed copies are not acceptable):

completed application form or V55/5 (for used vehicles)
a £55 registration fee (if applicable) and the required fee for the vehicle tax
a current British certificate of insurance
foreign registration document and any other papers relating to the vehicle
evidence showing the date the vehicle was collected
a current British MOT test certificate
documentation confirming your name and address.

you can keep the NI reg plate or request a GB one

its also illegal to drive a freshly imported car 10 year old+ car home from the docks/collection point without road tax so the above process needs to be adhered to before collection.

it obviously wont have a uk MOT certificate but it is legal to drive to one if it is booked

i hope this helps and isnt too confusing!! :hm: :whistling:

 

[evoaps]

it could cost me 1000 to register an evo over here
