High Mileage Evo
Been looking around for evo 9s in florida and I was wondering if I should stay away from 100k+ mileage cars. Im already looking out for stuff like poor condition, bad mods, among other things but sometimes I will see ones in good condition but just high mileage.

this has been covered many times, why do you newbies keep asking the same questions instead of searching
Flaming someone for being a newbie and you have been on the site for less than a year? Thats pretty funny.
To the OP, I happen to think thats a pretty legit question. As someone else mentioned I would be far more concerned about crappy mods and overall lack of maintenance than simply high mileage. I would look for something as close to stock as possible. They are getting harder to find, but are definitely out there.

I wouldn't ignore higher mileage Evo's, as long as they were taken care of properly. I'd rather have a properly maintained high mileage car, than a poorly maintained, low mileage car.

I'll be more comfortable buying a high mileage evo in a 'snowless' state. Where I lived in Wisconsin, even cars with 10k start to develop rust.
You want to stay away from those.
