If the first clutch went out at 5k miles, then the guy was most likely launching it a LOT. Seeing how the 2nd clutch has gone 20k miles, I'd say the second owner took better care of it.

Is the boost gauge hooked up? Take it for a spin and make sure it's hitting the proper boost pressure. If it's only hitting 11psi, tell the dealer the car is jacked up, knock off at least $1k, and then put the proper restrictor pill back in

Also, ask the dealer to knock off some money for the crap tires on the car. Take off the price difference for those tires and the stock Advans.

 

if it sounds to good to be true it isnt true. not an rs. and i didnt think that clutchs were covered under factory war...???

 

RS's were only sold in WW and RR colors. No wing, no pw and dl

Oh and no not all RS's came with the 3 gauge cluster (It was an option)

Looks pretty clean. Check the car out if its good and you like it buy it

 

its up to you man

 

If its an SE shouldnt it have the SE red badging on the trunk? Or GSR?

THis car didn't have anything except the mitsubishi diamond logo. No Evolution insignia.

I went for a test drive and thought it was good and strong. The tranny felt notchy though. But then again, i came from a e36 m3 so anything is going to feel a bit notchy.

On another note, its not a Mitsu dealer. Its a Chrysler/Dodge dealer. The previous owner traded it in for a jeep due his wife being pregnant.

 

Im sure the warrenty on that car is gone.


Thats one of the strong reasons why i like this evo. The mitsu dealer confirmed that its still under factory warrenty.

 

Its a GSR, no hids no fogs. They are not badged as such or even called such in the states untill the X but thats a different story. The SE gets Red Stiched Recaro's and Shiny BBS's

 

get a different one for sure...thats not even an rs...LOL. good luck on the hunt!

 

Did any of the GSR's come with cruise control?

this one doesn't have CC or a sunroof or even HID's.

 

Also,

What are some tale tell signs of a car that has been modified and put back to stock?

 

isn't the price a little too high? I just bought a IX gsr last week w/ 10k for 27,000

 

looks clean. its a gsr not an rs. premier is the highend brand of pioneer. as for the engine it looks like it has been modified and put back to stock for the sale. if u look at the turbo manifold heat sheild the screws has definitely been removed. id say test drive it and inspect it thoroughly. if it has warranty then that is good and id suggest to keep it stock for a while until u are sure that the whole car is good. id say drive it hard and see what problems show up.

 

Thats a little suspect too. But when i looked at them more closely, they still had rust on them and no visible signs of being torqued.

 

the VIN will tell you which model it really is
trying looking that up
