Thank for all the info you guys gave me. Sounds like the brakes do this a lot on Evo X's from what I've read. Might just be a squeaking noise. Not actually scraping the rotors. Rotors looked fine to me and brake pads I could see part of them without taking the wheels off. Looked like there was a decent amount left yet. Taking it to my mechanic tomorrow to have them confirm any problems.

Thanks again guys.

Nothing to worry about IMO. My evox has been squeaking since the beginning. After I wash my car it doesn't squeak for a few days, then it starts again. It gets super loud sometimes, especially if I'm in a drive through ppl look at me like what the hell. My brothers R35 would also do this, albeit to a lesser degree than my evox.

Well just got my car back from my mechanic. Said everything is good! Just had a little dirt and ice in the brakes causing the squeaking apparently. Just wanted to thank every one of you that gave some input and helped me make the decision to purchase my Evo. Thanks again guys!

Exactly! I haven't finished reading all the comments, but if your having a difficult time deciding, it's probably best you don't. Instead of spending 20k plus on a used evo and not knowing, spend a few thousand or whatever it takes to replace the belts, hoses, muffler, brakes, tires, rust protection.
Then maybe look at seeing how much it cost to rebuild your engine if your worried about the mileage on the engine? It just seems the engines on RA/Evo are pretty durable. Then maybe invest in some simple upgrades(exhaust, intake, coil overs, and a tune) to give the car some new life.
Just don't put yourself in a financial hole if you don't have too, like one poster said, get a house or condo or something first. Good Luck on what you decide.
* I can say in hindsight, I wish I would of kept my Mazda 3, for the simple fact it was paid for and drove flawlessly(8 years driven, and only 2 sets of tires, a battery and oil changes). Then again, I do love driving my RA
