Hi there, I am a potential buyer of a 2011 Lancer Ralliart and just want some insight on if this is a good deal and looks to be taken care of?

I am coming from an 03 SRT4 and just want something newer and AWD

I have always wanted an EvoX but kinda out of my price range so this seems like the second best and right up my alley. I just don't don't want to regret selling my srt4 for getting something slower and less reliable.

Info:
Navigation, backup camera,
xenon front lights, the rest LED lights
Fortune 500 coilovers
Evolution stock turbo and injectors
Aftermarket stainless steel manifold
Depo 3.5 intercooler
AEM Performance Air Filter
EBC brake pads and rotors
Borla exhaust
2.5 straight catpipe
8" and 12" Viber sound resonators (to make it street legal)
Battery relocated to the trunk for extra space in the hood
Battery is brand new
Extra set of wheels with good tires and tpms
Front windows 80% UV Protection tinting (NY legal). Rear windows 30 %, SSP aluminum shield
Replaced transmission fluid at 56k miles
ACD pump replaced under warranty at dealer
Dyno tuned at IVEY TUNE
310hp 310tq
Current mileage 83000
Price $9500

 

Seems like a decent price if the transmission was serviced every 20k or so.

That would be the most important thing to me.

 

Yeah, i'd try to get service records for the fluid changes.
Just keep in mind that at some point in the next 20 to 40k miles you'll need to change the stock clutches as they are a wear and tear item.
That service is expensive.

 

Why would he have to service the stock clutches at 100-120k miles? We've had people go higher on stock clutches no problem. It all depends on how the car was driven, maintenance history with correct SST fluid as well as if the person was driving in Sport or S-Sport when driving.

 

Is driving in sport mode most of the time recommend?
Not sure if it has had the super sport mode flashed on it or not and if it's not it will be if it get in my hands.
hands.
He had a new AWD pump replaced by the dealer and said the transmission fluid will need to be changed @100k miles, so soon.
It has the FAST key system and a factory remote start but said after he replaced the battery that the remote start isn't working right now.. Any ideas on that?

 

Yes, most are original owners .. these second/third hand cars you never know. Usually a car with those mods were possibly driven hard.

I'm just trying to prepare the potential new owner so he isn't surprised when it comes time to throw down another $5-6k for a trans job.
