Welcome, personally you could not want a nicer, better evo than an E5/6 as i have both lol. They can be bought at the right money. Just check it over well before you buy one and make sure you look the rear arches, rear bumper panel and wheel arches for rust and make sure does need any bushes. Stay away from very very high mileage evo's. Evo's are usually bullet proof when well serviced with E5-9.

Thanks for all the comments look forward to goin meets and meeting people. I do love the look of the 5-6's. Just trying to get the right one how are the engines in them as I have bought a house and do t want loads of problems. I'm happy with the servicing every few thousand miles but am considering few engine tweeks

Cheers
Mike

Newer engine is normally more reliable because its done less miles and less abuse. Just like any other car ...

Much more detail on any mods already done to the car is needed
All it states is low miles but doesnt say how many

E5 on are reliable. Lightly modded you will have no probs generally as long as the car is maintained properly
