Lancer evo 3 GSR

[DieselJohn]

Hello chaps. I'm a bit new to Jap stuff and I was wondering if you lot could give me the benefit of your wisdon on evo 3s. Any owners on here? What is the reliability and servicing cost like? Anything important to look out for? Are they all imports?

Hi John,

Your best bet (apols. if you've already done it) would be to join up to the Lancer Register - www.lancerregister.com

Just had a look and there is a buying guide for the Evo III and there's plenty of past and present owners of the III, most of whom will be more than than willing to answer any questions

There's also a for sale section (with a few IIIs at the mo), which is much safer bet than the Autotrader roulette when it comes to these cars.....

Certainly was a huge help when I picked up my VI last year

Cheers,

Paul.

Thanks for the tip, I'll have a look.

I can answer the import question! Yes they are. Don't think Mitsubishi imported the Evo until it reached number 6.

As to running costs, old Evos cost pretty much the same as new Evos in terms of fuel, tyres etc. New ones will cost you more in depreciation. Old ones will cost you more in mechanical breakdowns/replacements.
