Good Deal on Evo?

Alright so i'm looking to get an EVO and I found this guy in New Jersey willing to sell his Black 2005 GSR SSL Evo for 27k with 19,000 miles. Not much done to it, tinted, security system, lowered and a turbo timer, brand new clutch from mitsubishi. Is this a good deal?

I would jump on it and that is not average for an 05 but do a carfax on it first before buying it.

Well the guy who is selling it to me actually the second owner of the car, he's taken good care of it but the first person to get it was a kid who didn't really know how to drive standard.

2nd owner? Hell no. New IXs don't cost much more than that with 0 miles and much more power. No 05 with 19k miles is worth 27k unless it's an MR....maybe.

24-25k is all you should pay, but the fact it already has a new clutch, although not surprising, is a bad sign. It's also a bad sign the second owner is already selling it. Purchase at own risk...

How would I go about getting one from there? I'm all the way in Connecticut and of course i would have to pay shipping charges. Would I be able to get a GSR for 27999 if I call them up and talk to them about it? How much would shipping cost?

Yes, the price is the price - it's listed right there. Shipping would cost you about 1k, probably.
