I know the thread was kinda stupid to start but...
I'm excited as hell about getting the Evo I wanted. However, I do enjoy reading the opinions of others just the same
On a side note, here is the KBB for this car in my area.

I wouldnt sweat it if you got the dough, exactly like you said... finding that car in the condition that you did is almost like finding a 20 carat diamond now. Welcome to 4wd madness. Dont forget to sign up for addiction therapy classes

Thats not bad OTD...
Heres how i see it.. over say 2,000.... If its in good shape and mechanically good, you got a good deal...
Sometimes if you go to get the cheapest deal you can find theyre just trying to move the car fast because it could have a number of costly issues coming up... mainly tranny and transfercase...
So if this one is mint like you say you saved 2k on a possible tranny rebuild and 1k on a tc rebuild...
I wouldnt sweat it too much cause youre about to dump a lot of money into it to keep up with the rest of us =-)

Nope.. I don't think you paid too much.
I'm hoping the VIII/IX are high demand cars. I, personally, would have a hard time trading mine in for $25k. I've put that much into the car.
Congrats on the purchase and know that the valu won't drop too much.

All that matters is that you’re happy. You already bought the car don’t worry what it cost, now you need to worry how much you have to spend on mods. Welcome to the EVO lifestyle.

LOL, I know, but I could not find a new RS Thats the thing, around here if your in the market for a Evo you are going to get hosed. The same dealer had a 03 VIII with 50K on it and sold it in less than a week for 24K Infact there was a guy driving up from NJ to buy the RS, but I beat him to it. It's crazy.

Congratulations on the White IX RS.
Don't sweat the price, you've got yourself a rare car that also happpens to be the most capable Evo ever brought to the U.S.
Take care of it
And I hope that you don't care about power windows/locks/mirrors
