I want it so bad, but I want the ssl package those leather seats look so nice. Tell me if it sounds like a good deal.

I am sorry but no! $29,900 for a dealer demo vehicle which I am sure has gotten the **** beat out of it. For the $1,000-$2,000 savings it wont be worth all the hassle, time, money, you will be putting into the car that was beaten up upon by many customers! Just spend the extra money and buy a "Brand New" Evo! Just my .02!

I bought my EVO with over 100 miles on it, was the last one in the state, and I know it was beat but 20,000 miles later no problems.

100 miles is one thing he is saying 1000+ that is just way to many test drives in my opinion.

I agree with mangook, spend an extra 1-2k for a peace of mind, and assurance that your the only one who beat on it.

No problem man and good luck with your purchase. I know the one back in 03 I took out I beat the hell out of the car. It came back in smoking from how hard I ran the car. Definetly not good break in procedures. My thought of mind is when I by a car when I take it out for a test drive I am going to drive it as hard as possible to get the feel for the pure performance of the vehicle. I know it is not ethnical and it probally pisses the owner of that car off but a test drive is meant to beat the hell out of the car. Hope to see you in a Evo soon!

just got my 05 ssl for 30 even... keep looking

what i had to do was go in there and almost finalize the deal. they wouldnt negotiate, so i walked away. stopped by there every other week and checked out the car, and finally dropped in ready to buy at the end of the month (when they're most likely trying to meet a quota). heh and to top it off i got more money for my trades than i was asking on autotrader.

I would love to find a dealer who would let me have the keys for 30 even. I am just trying to find an electric blue, but there isnt a dealer in my town and when I go down to utah they dont have one either.
