Long time reader first time poster. There is a 05 Evo RS sitting at the dealership here in town, been there since august. 3700 miles and they will go down to 25,500. I am friends with the manager of the used cars there and thats as low as they say they can go with it. Only thing is that i know the car has been driven hard, but it is a 05 with low miles. It is used as a ride for the cars salesmen to go to lunch in and a few of my buddies have taken it out for test drives and the salesman didn't go with them so i know its been raped. i've driven it twice now and it drives great, clutch seems good, brakes stop on a dime and pulls hard, exterior is mint. Should i consider this car, offer them something lower or forget about it all together?

thanks for any input

 

Ask who drove it the first 500 miles for break-in. That's where I would be worried. Good break-in and your good to go! Good luck.

 

The tough part is you won't know wether it is "good" or not unless you buy it. Miles aren't too bad.

 

what about the price u think 25,500 is fair?

 

$25,500 I think you can get them to go lower if you tried. There was an 05' EVO VIII RS for sale here in California for $23,900 with only 8,000 miles on it. I think you could get him to drop it to atleast $25,000, if your lucky $24,500.

 

As far as $25,500 being fair, I think it is, but it's not a killer deal, if that's what the dealer is trying to tell you, there have been cheaper 05 VIII RSs for sale, I would say $25,500 is average.

 

3700 miles is nothing to be worried about. just haggle with the price!

 

just save up an extra 4k and get a new evo 9 rs

 

Not that I'm biased but this is a great deal...
