Buying EVO9 need opinions

Live in jersey and I found a white evo9 with 12k on it for 32k. Its a little high priced it seems, but this being the first evo i've ever owned Im not sure what they are really going for or if its worth that much. Its an MR and seems completely stock minus a triple gauge pillar which leads me to think it was probably modded before it was changed back to stock. Its at a dealer and Im looking to trade my SUV (they offered me 13k over the phone without looking at it which is crap, but expected from a dealer) So my questions is whats that EVO worth realistically? Thanks.

i'd hold out for a nice 5-speed. Unless you plan on staying close to stock. 32K is still too high for that car.

looking for around 400 ish hp maybe a lil more. How much is that car worth? And I remember a write up somewhere about the differences in the trim levels somewhere but cant seem to find it now. I thought the only difference between the MR and regular one was the 6 speed, cruise, and the HID's...correct me if Im wrong

Im guessing around 27ish, but it seems like the dealers around here are getting more then that. An Acura dealer by me just sold an 06 MR with 782 miles on it for 35k

Evo 9 5-speed the best looking one and performnace wise one out from the factory.
Oh and black is the best out of the color choices to make the car look as low as possible. Which always makes a car look better.

No cruise on any evo.

Compared to a GSR (not SE), the MR has the 6-speed, bilsteins, BBS wheels, vortex generator, HIDs, aluminum roof and Mitsubishi gauges. Some of those items also can be found on the GSR SE or RS.

28-29k for it seems fair. 12k miles is definitely pretty low

I havent been able to find a GSR locally yet lol. I want the 5 speed but I also dont want black or silver lol. White is preferred, then blue, then Graphite. Been looking for a month now and the only one I found that was decent was this white one, but hes somewhat high on what he wants especially since he kicked me in my nuts for my trade in
