Hi, long time lurker, first time poster - I trust it isn't bad for to register and then head straight to the marketplace for a first post, but I am a desperate man!
I have had zero joy with cars recently. I've been looking for a nice clean Evo for a long time but couldn't find the right car at the right price, and eventually gave up and bought a e92 M3... which lasted 3 days until a lorry wrote it off. Back to the drawing board and hunting out the perfect evo again. I finally thought I had found the car on Autotrader - a FQ360MR with reasonable miles, but having struggled to get a response for a couple of weeks and doing a good bit of chasing apparently the car is now sold as of tonight (possibly to somebody on here??)

Anyway, I figured a wanted thread on here is what is required (after all this is where all the best evos hang out!).
Ideally I am looking a pristine Evo FQ360 MR in grey, white or red, with sub 40,000 miles, but I realise that these are rare so I would also consider any Evo 9 or 8MR with those miles and a sensible / discrete tune carried out by somebody reputable. Also like 5s and 6s, but they would have to be special.
I've seen the low mile minters sitting at £30k+ and the rusty / body-kitted / cheaply tuned cars for £17k. What I am struggling to find is a reasonably priced, great condition car, but one that's not a museum piece.
To help explain what i am after, I work quite far from home and have got sick of putting big miles on decent cars. I've now leased a qashqai rotz for the daily slog and need something fun to pull out of the garage for the odd sunny evening drive over the summer.
If anybody is thinking of selling up now the summer is over, or knows of anybody selling, I would really appreciate being pointed in the right direction.
PS I see #213 (as per the autotrader add) isn't on the FQ360MR list yet!
