I went to check out a 06 evo mr with not even 4k miles on it. The mitsu dealership wanted 28k. SO i chekcked it out and it had oil on the oil filter and oil pan which i understand may not have been wiped down. So we finally go for a test drive, and every time i go to 3rd and 4th gear, all you hear is crunch crunch crunch. I was shocked and didnt want to even drive it anymore. It hurt me to keep shiftin. Only 4k and needs maybe new tranny. they said if i really wanted it they could have a new tranny by next week. Should i still buy it or give up on this one? thanks for ur help

 

did you check the car thoroughly? 28k for a 06 mr with only 4k miles from a dealer is wayyy too low something is up... check carfax?

 

pass..

 

I wouldn't buy it.

 

I'd pass on it

 

Its hard to say.If its still under warranty and they are willing to fix it than it doesn't sound horrible.It could be a good deal and it could be the worst deal ever.Your choice but I would probably do like the others have said and pass.

 

i would pass on it that sounds sketchy

 

whatever evo you buy will eventually have its transmission act up. the transmissions in our cars are total crap and everyone knows it.

i wouldn't be too worried about it, especially if they're willing to give you a new transmission (which will eventually grind anyway)

 

this is very much untrue...you only hear stories of ones that act up...obviously people that have no problems aren't going to start threads about how amazing their trannys are

 

tell em to put a tranny in it and re-test drive it.

go with your first instinct though. if you think you shouldnt get it then pass on it........

 

Hmmm $28K does seem like its too low, especially for 4K miles only. Probably been beaten on or been wrecked and rebuilt. Def be suspicious of this one.

 

Tell them to put a 5 speed transmission in it.

 

Assuming the transmission is all that's wrong, that's not a bad idea. Say if they replace it with the 5-speed, you'll pay $28.5k. Or even $29k. That wouldn't be a bad idea, since it would hypothetically be a solid setup off the dealership lot.
