Help! Is this a good deal for a used Evo?

hey guys i've been hanging around the forum for awhile now gathering info.

I'm finally about to get the chance to purchase a used evo for 24,600. It's in perfect condition with 5,600 miles. What do you guys think? Is that a good deal?

I know i can probably find a new evo now for invoice but i guess i could save a couple of thousand on this one.

I'd say that's pretty decent. Although, if you can afford a new one, I'd get that instead, since you never know how it was broken in, or if it was abused.

if your going to pay $25k+ for a used car make sure to do the following things:

leak down test
compression test for EACH cylinder

You will then know if the car is worth buying.

I just came back from a test drive......omg i think i'm in love. This is the first time i've ever sat in or driven the EVO. The handling is incredible and i absolutely love the seats. Oh yea the torque is nice too.

I'll make sure to have a mechanic look at the car and do a compression test.

if all goes well i'll have my silver evo by next week. can't wait......i'll post some pics when i get the car.

Right on! If the compression checks out all even on all cylinders your set~! The only bad part about owning an evo is all other cars you drive next, will feel/handle like ****.
