Yeah the car looks great! Do you think learning to drive manual would be a difficult task on the evo? I drove it for a bit seems like breaking that american laziness style of driving is the hard part kind of used to having my left leg just sitting there and not doing much. I did stall the car about 3 times but that was because I let go of the clutch without giving it enough gas. Only problem I see is that when I was shifting I was keeping my foot on the gas instead of releasing it then shifting then gassing it again.

 

Looks like you're riding the clutch. Don't do that too much else you'll be needing a new clutch soon.

As far as the car is concerned, I was quoted 35000 for a new 2012 with the SS package but decided on the MR for 37k instead so I would say 28k for a 2011 with SS and 3500 miles is a darn good deal.

 

Stock Evo X's are pretty easy manual's to drive. Not the easiest, but far from the hardest. I was actually surprised at how forgiving the clutch was in mine when I got it new, but I was used to the ACT HDSS from my old Evo which isn't a crazy race clutch, but isn't exactly a beginner clutch either.

 

Yea driving manual doesnt seem so hard just takes some time breaking old auto habits I think with maybe about a week I should be ok with manual. Yeah the car is priced at 26k but the dealer told me it has to get certified which will run an extra 2k. Let me ask you guys a question lets say I mess up the clutches learning to drive manual is that covered under the manufacturers warranty or will I have to pay for that?

 

Clutch is a wear and tear item, if it goes you will have to pay for it.

 

To the OP: Instead of buying used I would go to "South Coast Mitsubishi" and get a 2013 for a few thousand dollars more... It will be brand new with much less miles on it and a full warranty... You will also save money on your car loan with the lower interest rates and most car insurance companies have a new car discount as well...

Sounds good but check south coast and compare.

 

Sounds too good to be true

 

with it having 3500 miles on it the manufacture warranty is surely still there, only one less year. so what that makes it like 2 years 27k miles left on it? being 'certified' is likely the same thing as the warranty itself and covers the same aspects. if you dont plan to mod it, use whats left of the warranty, then get an extended warranty.

as for the clutch, it'd be on you to replace. can be as easy as buying a new disc, or as difficult as an entire clutch kit. i learned manual on my evo 8, but probably shouldnt have.

 

33000 I don't think will happen considering msrp on ss will be around 37800

 

All i know is when if i decide to sell my car it will sell in 24 Hrs because i have a 11 GSR with sight sound navi aero pkg $42k sticker price which im leasing and buy out is now $28K and i have only not even 2000 miles which i dont drive at all due to i have other cars and reason i might sell it cause i would like to get into something else by February. But i promised a guy here that i will give it to him, just invcase he cant wait until then, then who ever wants this should save my name and get back to me by end of January. Oh by Feb the price keeps going down cause im making payments of course and and who ever gets it just takes over the payments no fees to me or to the bank i take care of everything you just pick up the car and drive away and the most miles i would put by february is maybe another 200 to 300 if so.

But definitely get it my friend thats a good price

 

I have some ballpark calculations for those of us in California particularly Kern County. You can find your tax rate at http://www.boe.ca.gov/cgi-bin/rates.cgi for other counties. Title and Reg may also very a little but this is a good ballpark. Just add the packages then calculate the taxes afterword.


2013 Evo X GSR
Base Price $31,999.00
SS $2,000.00
SL $1,800.00

Title & Reg $1,305.00
Taxes: (Kern 7.25%) $2,595.43
Total OTD Kern: $39,699.43

I would probably offer $39,500 OTD for an SSSL GSR and $37,500 for just SS.

Other Packages price to add before taxes.

Nav $2,295.00
LED $335.00
Park Assist $350.00
Interior Package $420.00
SL $1,800.00
MR (Add to Base Price) $2,900.00

Hope this helps, I am no math pro so do not bash my calculations!!!

 

Well I learned to drive stick decades ago, so the feeling is a little out of my memory, but really it's like:

"There is no try, only do"
"Nothin' to it, but to do it"
"Use the Schwartz Lonestar!"

 

It sounds like a good deal to me. A lot of people swear by buying a brand new evo but I haven't had any issues with mine and I bought it used... Also an 11. The x's are very easy to drive on a stock clutch, but the OEM clutches are very easy to burn up so be careful. And I still stall mine on occasion when I'm creeping through a parking lot or something where I'm not really on the gas lol

 

Lol yeah hopefully I dont burn out the clutch its time to put all those arcade games to good use!
