What do you think i could get an 03 for if i waited, and found the right one? Also, do the evo's come with forged pistons?

No we do not have forged pistons. We have hypereutectic cast pistons with various coatings on both the crown and skirt of the piston. We do have a forged crank and forged rods.
Things to check:
Service records. If it has not been serviced on a regular basis stay away.
Yellowing of the carbon fiber in the wing or (worse) delamination of the wing.
Pealing paint on the brake calipers.
Paint chips on body panels behind the rear doors.
Worn out tires.
Slipping stock clutch.
And last but not least.... modifications.
