How long did it take you to find your Evo

Hey fellas I've been patiently waiting for a nice Evo 9 to come up for the right price and all. I've been waiting for a month now and I was curious about how long everyone else had to wait. Its hard waiting haha

I've been waiting since 2003!

Seriously though, I was looking for a solid 3 months before I found something that fit my needs list. It's difficult waiting, but worth it if you're picky.

I saw my Evo at school and the owner became a very good friend of mine, but he wouldnt sell it. A year later went by and he decided to sell it to me. I had an Srt-4 at the time and I wasnt thinking of selling it but the opportuny came by when he offered it to me. Its an 8 Rs with 73,000 miles immaculate for 13,500 and a game of xbox

be patient - they're getting rarer. try not to compromise on color though. I had a TB IX GSR since aug 06, sold it for a WW IX MR in January of this year - perfect car, couldn't pass it up.

It only took me about 3 weeks. I wasnt too picky on the color and I just wanted low miles and a clean car. I paid a decent amount for it but it was worth it to me and thats what matters.

It took me a good 2 years before I found my evo. Wasn't actively looking though but I wanted a bone stock white 05-06 evo rs with less then 80k with a budget of 15k in california so I wasn't in the best situation and I was picky.

Found mine in a day on autotrader. Luck just happened to be on my side. Bone stock mr, immaculate exterior. Engine ran strong, just needs brake pads.

Mine just landed on my lap. I wasn't even looking for a car at the time, my friend called me told me to bring a deposit because I was going to fall in love with what they had just gotten at the dealer he works for. I showed up, super clean tb ix se with 48k, done deal.

I didn't buy my car until about 7 months ago, but I waited for 6 years. I didn't have the ability to buy one at the time but I still looked just in case. I started looking in mid September and bought mine in mid October. I wasn't really in the market since I still wanted to wait until about April/May to purchase one but the right one came along and I couldn't pass it up.

Took me about 2-3 months. I actually saw it on my way to work at the dealer so I stopped by later that day once I got out of work on a Thursday and ended up buying it that Sunday.
