an evo 9 should cost around the same as a 05 to 06 wrx, i think...the evos are rarer cars, and IMO, they look a hell of alot better, there a HELL of a lot easier to work on, and they have a motor thats been around going on almost 18 to 19 years(?) now...The only thing i didnt like about the evo compared to the sti was ride comfort and the interior. Get a well maintained MR version, and youll be riding buddy
