Well my buddies looking to pick up a brand new mr se soon so we went down to maywood mitsubishi to check out a few brand new mr se's that they had had left the salesman men we talked to was very helpful and even let us take one for a test drive. But on thing that stood out to me about the car was that it said 173 on the odometer does anyone find this unusually high mileage for a brand new evo

 

yea thats pretty high... i wouldnt buy it.. its been out joy riding..

 

Way too high

 

He let you take a test vehicle, not the one you would actually be buying. Do you think they let everyone test drive different cars?

 

Most of the miles are test driving miles which means it has been seriously flogged.

 

mine came with close to 200 something. but it also came down from NH... and i'm in NY... Thats was the only palce they could find another black evo back in 03... I went to the lot the day it came in to look at it and it had mud allll over the tires and car. Guess the person who drove it down had ALOT of fun with it. But she's still holding on strong. so it wasn't a problem for me at all

 

The demo cars usually have a lot of miles on them. (Test drives and joy rides) And they sell those cheaper than the brand new ones that have like 5 miles on them.

 

Did Mike from Maywood help you out? He's a pretty cool guy.

 

Usually Mitsu dealers don't drive evo's to other dealers. They flatbed them to the destination. It costs more, but at least you know nobody was beating the hell out of your brand new car. I wouldn't purchase a new vehicle with more than 20 or so miles on it. I think I got mine with like 11 or something.

 

Yeah mine had 200+ miles on her when I bought...I got nearly 5000 off the price though...they tried to get me for less off..but somehow I pulled it off

 

Mine had 10 miles on it, but the one I test drove had about 70 miles. The dealer was like," I'm not giving you that one." So he was pretty cool about it. Most dealers won't give you the test car, but if they do, don't take it! You know those cars are driven hard.

 

Sweet!! Mine also had 10 miles on it when I got it.

 

Thats exactly how I got mine.....test drove a IX with alot of miles and was offered $5000 off the price, but I pulled a fast one and asked for a different color with only 0.6 miles for the same discount.

 

.6 miles? I thought it was mandatory for testing reasons and such that the dealer or whomever has to put at least 4-5 miles on the car before selling. I've never heard of someone getting an evo with less than 4-5 miles on it.

 

i bought my '03 evo in 3/05. it was one of two '03 EVO's left over that never got sold out of a fleet of 14 evo's ordered at a small tulsa, OK mitsu dealer. one of them had kumhos on it, and 300+ miles on it. and it looked like it had been ragged on.

mine had 68 miles on it. proper advans, interior untouched. i was still concerned but its got 27,000 faultless miles thus far with a fair amount of mods. not one problem, stock clutch and drivetrain.
