Some are since production started in 1990. The problem is the retarded price people are asking for high mileage examples that they picked up dirt cheap in Europe (of course, now values are increasing over there b/c of demand here).

Someone got one in, and asked over $200,000 for it with 80K+ miles. If you've got that kind of cash and this is the car for you, here's one in Europe that'll cost you 10 Grand more & a LOT less use.

It's clear;y been a few years. Back when I Was actively trying to find either a 2.3-16 Cosworth or a 2.6LE, there were a few Evo IIs in the 70k range.
