Why not a SE GSR...cheaper and 5 speed is stronger...I think the MR is more of a rare thing...is that what your looking for?

yeah dude on second thought, i would def pass it up. i remember looking for mine and there are tons out there... with alot less miles and alot cheaper, still with no mods and imo a better color. and from my experience dont buy from a dealer... any dealer. theres a reason they have that car and that is it was most likely trader. think about it if its worth 31000 like i was imagining before, why would the previous owner trade it, they could easily make more privately. meaning maybe it had some history they know will make it hard to sell... maybe not. im just speaking from experience of evos ive drivin that i found at dealers

but if its close to you ide def go drive it so you get to see what a bad one is like. or maybe its a good one dk, but if it really is good dont pay that much for it and dont just jump on the first good one you see either

Don't buy from them. The guy I talked to there was an idiot. I was looking at the 04 BBY they have. I asked them why it was priced so high and he just stumbled over his words. They also have it listed as an RS. I didn't get a good vibe at all. I would steer clear. Second, the price is too high. There were 2 MR's in Salt Lake City last month at a dealership. They still have one for sale with 11k miles for under $30k. The other one they had last month (which i assume sold) had like 8k miles again for under $30k. High book on NADA is $28000 for an MR with 10k miles. I wouldn't pay more than that. Good luck!

!keep in mind, whatever the advertised price, u can rest assured its as inflated as a tire after a long road trip.
i got my MR for $31k, when it was advertised in the dealership at $34,500.

I payed 27k for a IX MR w/ 28,000 miles +TBE Exhaust+extra set of wheels+tune+ACT CLUTCH.

32,000 is a rape.

Check out: CARS.COM

Buying from a dealer is just dumb. They are out to make money off of you, find a nice enthusiast who can give you details of how they treated their evo.

Do a search on Brad Benson. You'll see their rep is very one sided (guess which direction).

hello?!?!? $32k is not a real price! It's like buying a new car for MSRP, who ever heard of that ? I'm 100% sure they will give up the car for ~$28k
you have to bargain long and hard though
