good price to buy a mint evo IX for? with 1,500 miles.
hi! I just want to get the forums opinion regarding my future purchase. To cut things short, I'm in the market for an Evo IX, and I just found a 2006 Silver EVO IX SE with 1,500 miles. Yea, the guy kept it mostly garaged or so the dealer claims. Except for a small scratch in the front bumper the car looks in mint condition.
Now my question, is what do you guys think would be a good price for me to offer. I dont mind walking out a couple of times, as long as I don't get ripped off. As of now the dealer has a sticker price of $29,900.
Thanks for taking the time to answer this. When factoring in prices, I'm taking into account that the X GSR is offered for 29,999. base. and has previously been offered for 28,999. At this same dealer. Also one must take into account that for this month the X, has 0% financing, while i would otherwise get like a 5 or 6%. The thing is that I just love the IX, and if gotten for the right price, this car might be a steal.

if the car has no paint work and has never been modded, you're not that far off from a deal. look on this forum in the classifieds and see the asking prices for cars with more miles. they're not much lower. get that car for under $29k and you're doing pretty good imo. i'd offer $28k and see what he says.

I think the dealers in the right range for the asking price of the car. (Almost all of them are negoitable) I would try to get him down around $28,000, if you look around it seems like most average mile IX are price around $25K.

if you're going to fix the scratch, make sure you can have it done without painting the entire front bumper. alot of places can build up the scratch and sand it out to match. if you have the front bumper painted, chances are it will never look right and will most likely chip much more easily than the factory paint even thought the factory stuff is not the greatest. painting flexible body parts is difficult and usually not done correctly.

also this evo has a JDM rear bumper. and they guy told me that they cant legally sell it to me like that.
and that i could take that bumper but I would also need to buy the original one. do you guys know anything about this. i think that its due to safety reasons. something about it not having the underneath bar that absorbs the impact on a rear end collision. what do you guys think?

I don't remember which one it is (since they have a few used IX SEs on the lot and I don't really look at them since I have one myself and was checking out the new Evos). That is a REALLY good price though, I wonder why they're selling one with that few miles for so low.

they can't sell it with that bumper because it doesn't have the same crash bar under it. if you buy it, i'd work a deal where they give you the stock bumper and never put it on. i'd rather not have some dealer body shop monkey screwing around with things. especially a mitsu body guy.
