i say check out the car and test it out then make a decision. 87k miles is a lot for an VIII for $20k.

20 is a lot for an 03 with 87k miles. But if you like the car try seeing what his bottom dollar is before you make the drive. I'd say $15k depending on the condition. There are some good deals out there, just about finding them. I paid $17k for my 05 with only 36k miles on it. So shop around, even on here. But it also depends on what your willing to spend.

Check out Norcal Evo site for an 06 Evo 9 for sale for about the same price with 54k miles. There are pics on the thread as well.

Also, you wont find an IX for 20k. My buddy just went through the process of searching and IX's have all skyrocketed in price.

If you search i think it was voted that WW is the most desirable color. Does it mean that WW adds a premium to the price? I think so maybe not as much as this asking price but I would think a few grand more.

TBH 87k for 20k is not a reasonable price. even with the mods listed you can easily pickup another evo with about the same mileage for 13-15k. with 5k on your own hands to mod it will do wonders .... my 0.2 of course. whatever decision you make is your overall choice of course. GL

edit: oh and also i picked up my ww 04 with 82k for only 13k. why dont everyone post how much they got theirs for to compare?

I dont know about a few grand.......Maybe a couple of hundred bucks more.



That car IMO is not worth any more than $15k. Its a 03 and lots of miles already.
