2003 Evo with 65k miles, asking price is $22k, worth it?

2003 Mitsubishi EVO (at a authorized Lexus dealer)
63,500 Miles
$21,995 asking price

Things i've noticed...
- When I popped open the hood, looks like the previous owner put a Greddy BLOV.
- Greddy Turbo Timer
- Very clean, very very minor scratches.
- No dents anywhere.

What do you all think?
Anything else I should check or ask when I go back again to the dealership again this week?

Thanks in advance!

Thats some nice paint for that many miles..seriously. If miles dont bother you, go for it. Although for a couple grand you can find one with 50K less mileage, or even for a little more money get an IX.

KBB doesn't account for all the guys on here who are so eager to get something newer and cooler that they throw the rest of us under the bus by selling their Evo's for ridiculously cheap prices. I'd get a bank loan and buy from someone on this site.

Too high mileage for that price. Ask about the previous owner. Sounds like maybe those might be highway miles. Have they (dealer) had the car for long? If so, see if they will go lower on the price. And always, DON'T be afraid to walk out on them if they won't give you a good deal. Lesson learned here

ask for lower price. Those miles in Evo terms are dangerous

OMG... those miles are amazingly high for the price. You got guys here selling there 2003's with half the miles for the same price. You have dealership selling 2003 with half the miles for about 22-23k.

I would have to give a big HELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL NO! 22k for the worst possible Evo year with the least value and hellacious miles. Hell no on a STICK. You can get 03s for 22k with less than 15k miles, just not from a dealership.
