How much would you pay for a brand new 2003?
2003 Evo
Has sunroof and spoiler options with MSRP of $30,932
Has not been sold or titled. Has 700 miles of ? (test drives, manager taking it home for the weekend, who knows?)
Its hard to price:
2005 cars next to it have more "stuff" (ACD, HID, etc)
2005 cars have a better warranty
700 miles yet "brand new" status (re titling, financing)
What would you offer the Mitsu dealer?

I assume the break in was NOT done properly since no single person who paid their own hard-earned $$ for the car took care of it for these months and miles...

I'd be really sketchy on that. I had a chance to get a really great deal on a new one before I bought mine, but it was in about the same boat. 500ish miles...I paid an extra 1500 or so to get one with virtually no miles (single digits somewhere, 7 miles maybe.) I know a guy that bought a demo though, and he never had a problem...so I can't say it's a bad idea, but just make sure you get a good deal. I'd treat it just like a used one...

The most I would pay is around 26k. The trade in value would be just under that (at least in my area). I had a chance to purchase a 03' BBY with 600miles. It felt great during the test drive (boost, clutch, etc.) but I still didn't want to chance it. I got my 04' w/27miles instead which is still too much in my book. The car drives great and I got it for $2500 under msrp so I can't complain 
. Just be careful, the worst thing is making a purchase and regretting it later, for whatever the reason.

Dealer cost should be right around $26,300 + sunroof = ~$27,000. Knock $1000 off for unkown mileage factor, so somewhere around $26,000 should be a decent deal.
