This 2003 Mitsubishi Lancer Evo VIII is a sought-after Japanese performance saloon. Under the bonnet sits the 2.0-litre turbocharged ‘4G63T’ inline-four, producing around 206kW, driving all four wheels via a six-speed manual transmission. It was first registered in Japan, and was imported into Australia in January 2024. The odometer indicates 155,422 kilometres from new. Build year: 2003 This Evo VIII is finished in silver with a carbon-fibre rear spoiler blade, over a black and grey synthetic suede-trimmed interior, featuring textured blue fabric inserts on the seats and door cards, punctuated by dark silver and blue trim inserts. It rides on the correct set of 17-inch Enkei six-spoke alloy wheels, housing red Brembo brake callipers and fitted with Yokohama Advan Neova AD08 R tyres. The specification includes a Mitsubishi-branded Momo steering wheel, Recaro front bucket seats, a trip computer, orange-accented instrument gauges, automatic climate control, an intercooler water sprayer, electrically operated and folding door mirrors, electric windows, and a Pioneer radio CD and minidisc player with auxiliary input. The car comes with a selection of paperwork, and one key. Please refer to the photo gallery to assess the exterior and interior condition. Specific notes from the seller include: there are a few scratches and dings, as well as areas where the external trim is missing paint, hazing on the headlight clear coat, and peeling clear coat on the wings. Inside the car, the driver's seat has a tear and the gear shift knob trim has come apart. The seller notes that the passenger-side strut knocks when going over bumps. The latest service was performed in January 2024 at 155,024 kilometers by Pioneer Service Centre. The work comprised of an engine oil and filter change, along with the replacement of the windscreen wipers, fluids, and air filter. The Mitsubishi Lancer Evo VIII is a revered Japanese import praised for its impressive blend of practicality and point-to-point pace.
