Future owner needs current owners help

I recently got screwed out of a purchase at a local dealer on a evo and finally have found another one that I'm interested in.

http://www.mybestauto.com/used/Mitsu...aacf5a793c.htm

If anyone lives in the lacaster, pa area and could meet me to check the car out that would be awesome. (there is a case of beer in it for you if your over 21 of course haha) also the red button on the steering wheel, tell me it's not nos please. take a look at the other evo ix they have in stock too and let me know what you think.

its got some nice stuff done to it, but for that kind of money they are asking for i would def walk away, you can get a 2008 evo x for that kind of money. I would prolly give $23k the most..

Yeah I really would not want a built Evo that someone that you didn't know owned. I would keep lookin for that kind of money. And the only other thing I can think of for that button is the turbo button. A joke of course.

talked the guy down to 24 so price isn't the problem. just wondering what problems those specific mods could potentially cause and what I should look for.

I picked up a 2006 Electric Blue IX in March with 32k miles for $22,500. The price is too high. Mine also had a good amount of tasteful mods.

damn dude, I'll sell you my evo for 20k. Maintained, and new transmission and clutch with only 5k miles on it. also has a gt30r, built head, ETS intercooler, tein springs, works 18" rims, defi everywhere, SSL


on second thought, I love my car too much. you can't have it. But 20k-22k would be the most you want to spend, and for the love of god, find one that isn't modded to heavily. You'll have nothing but headaches if you don't

i got a steal on mine, its 03 had high miles and the guy daily drove it, but about 6 hours of wetsanding and buffing fixed that, i paid 11k for mine, it took me 7 months into talking the guy into it though. take your time the right deal will come your way
