You need this: Mitsubishi Lancer Evo IV already living stateside

The Mitsubishi Lancer Evo X may have been discontinued in 2015, but there are still nine other generations of Evo to experience–most of which weren’t officially sold here in America.

This Mitsubishi Evolution IV GSR is one such example, though has already been imported into the U.S. and now carries a New York title.

Currently showing some 209,200 kilometers (approximately 129,990 miles), the Evo IV comes equipped with a few desirable upgrades like a Fujitsubo exhaust system, an HKS air intake and an Exedy single-plate clutch.

I hate to admit that a JDM car already imported into the U.S. has a lot of added value.

It's really not too hard to import one plus if you do it right, you get a cool car shopping trip to go find the right one. I have a 6 sitting in a garage awaiting import because I love the 6 more.

You'd be a star at the next RADwood event with that one. And at $5,000 it's a steal! Maybe I'll drop a $5,010 bid...you know, just to separate the men from the boys.

Great, I didn't need to see this.

Now I've gone from "I have to sell a vehicle or two" to watching two auctions.

Currently at $6000. What do we think it will hammer for?

Just looking closer at the photos, and it’s a bit rustier than I first envisioned.

If the price is right, do you care?

Sounds like a project with the laundry list of stuff wrong with it, specifically the rust:

Paint chips, scratches, and blemishes around the exterior (some are touched-up)
Headlight and fog light lenses are cracked
Low-beam headlights are inoperative, possibly due to incorrect bulbs installed
Previous rust repair performed on areas around the side skirts
Scratches on the wheels
Creases and wear on the seats
Wear on interior touch points and trim panels; peeling door panel upholstery
Drill hole on the driver-side A-pillar
Rust on the doors, fuel filler area, trunk floor, hood latch, and underbody
The seller reports that one of the wheel bearings emits an intermittent noise, the clutch chatters at low speeds, there is a slow leak in the air conditioning system, and the AYC warning light stays illuminated due to a faulty ABS sensor.
