Oh, and FYI, all '03 Evo's came with HID's
Yea I didn't know that about the 03's.. haha

The car has definitely been taken care of. The biggest concern is that the car is still on the original clutch, but the owner is a conservative driver so hopefully I can get a bit more out of the clutch. I'll definitely keep an eye out for any rust as well. The car was always maintenanced by a mitsu dealership since he's friends with a tech at one of the local dealers.

Good call on the compression test too. Its been a while since I've bought a car... Or at least a running one haha.

120k on the stock clutch?!?! Yes, I would have to say he is conservative, especially since the car was not stock. I say do your homework, check it out, and if it seems solid, go for it.

Yep 120K on the stock clutch. I think the car has been launched a total of 5 times in its life and that was when it was stock he said. The car remain pretty much stock minus the exhaust and intake. Last year I think the ECU was flashed only last year. He goes as far as taking the stock grille out every year and repainting it black.

I think I'ma jump on it. He's asking 5K downpayment and then the rest within 3 months or if I sell the lancer before that 3 months. Personally I'm trying to come up with it all right away but we'll see how well that goes.
