Nice choice, but don't be put off by the 320 cos your first remap would take you to 380-390 ish

Just check for what you would normally check for when looking at a used car

On top of that make sure the mr is an mr and not a normal Fq advertised wrong cos this happens.

Should be grey
Should have grey seats and not the blue
Should have a carbon spoiler blade and inserts to the upright
Also should have a ridge running down each side of the roof.

If any doubt then post up a link and well look at the adverts for you

Also get a welcome post done and tell us a bit about yourself :razz:

ye i have looked it into it but liked the 340 due to the extras ie leather sets etc, so the one im looking for is mr fq thats the english version? is the other you mentioned an import? ok i will do

has to be grey? i was under the impression it was red, silver or grey?

thanks for the reply

In my eyes they have to be grey

Nothing wrong with and import neither cos they are all made in the same place buy the same people. Just some were brought in and sold my Mitsi and others were brought into country privately or by other traders

Just a different model in the range and yea your right about the seats

Ye just the import will be harder to insure! Ha fair one about the grey does look good! So what do you drive? Hp, model, colour?

The whole import thing doesn't matter mate cos it's not like they are made from different parts or different power. Don't be put off buying an import cos prob 75% of evos on the road are imports and insurance company's like Aplan and pace ward recognise this

Im on my second Evo. First was a VII which I bought standard and was 460bhp when I sold it after 2 years I know have a White 500bhp tommi mak

Welcome buddy!

I see you are in safe hands with Lee so all I will suggest is that you post up links on this Thread of any Evo you are considering/thinking of viewing/buying so that we can all help you to make the right decision!

Happy hunting!!!
