    Details:

    This is a two-owner from new, 22,850-mile 2003 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VIII finished in Apex Silver. This car was sold new at Capitol Mitsubishi in San Jose, CA, and lived in the San Jose area until we acquired it this month. The first owner is friends with the second owner, and second owner simply purchased the car because he hated to see such a nice example go to someone who may not cherish it in the same way the first owner did. It is 100% unmodified and has never been modified. Zero accidents. 100% clean Carfax. 100% clean, free & clear title.

    Flaws:

    Exterior: The rear bumper has been repainted. The rest of the car's paint is original. The VIN tag in the driver's side rear door jamb has peeled off, but our paint meter has verified that this area is original paint as well. There are some normal stone chips on the front bumper, & the rear bumper's paint is peeling a bit in the wheel well area (not overly noticeable). No other issues to note.

    Interior: No issues to note.

    Underbody: Being a California car from new, this Evolution is in amazing condition underneath. No issues to note.

    Maintenance Information:

    This Evolution had regular oil & filter servicing according to Mitsubishi's schedule. The Dunlop Star Spec summer tires are properly sized and date coded 2011 with no issues or signs of cracks. Tire tread is nearly-new. The car drives fantastic with no issues (engine, transmission, clutch, suspension, etc. included). The front brake rotors could use replacement due to balancing, but this is up to the new owner.

    Car comes with the following:

    - Original owner's manual & ancillaries.
    - All original keys & fobs.

    Asking $26,495.

    Owned an Evo VIII for exactly 36 days when I was 24.

    It was fast as hell

    I sold it quickly as the annoyance of EVERY ol speed racer honking and wanting to race got old really fast.

    But what a car....GLWS

    Wow very cool.

    I sold my 2006 Evolution RS a few months ago. I suspect these cars with low miles in bone stock conditions will be worth a big premium as time goes on.
