1999 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VI (CP9A) — White

White, with a minor repair declared, and 169,000 km on the clock. That's the honest starting point for this Lancer Evolution VI, registered in January 1999. Repair history: Yes (minor). The repair itself isn't specified, so treat it as a question to ask rather than a reason to dismiss the car; a minor flag on a CP9A of this age is common and the odometer reading says it was driven properly rather than parked.

Mechanically it's the standard Evo VI recipe. A 4G63 2.0-litre turbocharged inline-four, a manual gearbox, and all-wheel drive. Four doors, right hand drive, petrol.

Two things are worth knowing if you're comparing Evo VIs. A high odometer reading isn't unusual for a car that spent its life on Japanese roads as a daily rather than as a garage piece, and white is the colour most buyers ask about first on this generation, so this one already answers the question most enquiries open with.
