Hey everyone I'm currently loocking for a 2009 Ralliart and I found one that looks pretty clean but I really don't know how to tell if it's actually good. The car has arround 225 000 km (140 000 miles). I know the transmission is usually the main problem. Do you guys think it should be ok at this mileage? I'm a student so I work only part time and I currently own a 2012 Hyundai Veloster with half the mileage. I know it sounds dumb to want to change for something older but I kinda what a turbo! So yeah every opinions you have are welcome!
This is the car:

If you are a student, I wouldn't get close to a SST equipped Mitsubishi with high mileage.

 

I agree with the above statement. If anything save a bit more money and just go straight to an evo. You will enjoy it much more =)

 

At this point that year is a money pit. This cars on perfect working order are expensive to maintain.
If the SST (transmission) gives out get ready to expend $6K on a reworked one with all the factory problems corrected.
