Long story short, i found a local dealership who has a 2006 IX with 72xxx on the odo. KBB lists it for 24ish. now i dont wanna pay that much for that many miles, or do you guys think its an ok price? they had to do a little body work (pull a few small dents) and then replace the O2 and something about the airbag light on the passenger side or something i cant remember, so thats all they have into it plus the labor. Im pretty sure the owner had the car F/S on craigslist for awhile and the last listed price i think was 19k. so if i was to offer the dealership $20 you think thats fair? cause i would highly doubt they gave him 19 for it. The airbags were never deployed, and no accident history.

I now there is cheaper ones with nice mods for less. but im being picky cause i want a 9 cause of the interior. but the biggest thing is i need it to be at a dealership so i can trade in my car. oh if it makes any difference, its a Mitsu dealership that has it, he traded it in on a new X

 

you can find better on the forums, but i guess no ones gonna take a trade-in if that's the plan

 

Screw that. I paid 30k for my Evo ix mr and it was bone stock with 18k

 

lucky!

 

$24k is under 30k miles money. especially when its got an airbag light one.

i wouldnt even bother with that car unless it was in the $18k range, you never know what other surprises your gonna get.

 

airbag light = walk away. you don't know what other problems the car holds in surprise

 

cool thanks guys, im getting tired of waiting lol...the salesman tried to get me in a GTS, idk what year it was the turbo/AWD one, they had just taken it in on trade, it had less then 25k on the clock, but i dont want the auto. also he said they wouldnt certify it, is that true of all pre-owned mitsu's? or why wouldnt they wanna do that one, it still had factory warranty left

 

even though its an 8, i bought mine with 11k miles for 22.5k.

 

I bought my IX GSR SE with 32k on it, 2 years ago from a dealership for $24.1
Tax, title and other BS included. I think I made out well. All it had done was a turbo back and a boost gauge.

 

Paid 20k for a bone stock 03 that had 11k miles

 

I paid 22.5k for my 9 last December. 59k miles. Pretty much the mods in my sig came with it, although some of the stuff is what I have installed on the car. I feel I got a more than fair deal. Id pay a little more for a car, especially if its super clean.

 

06 MR with 39k in 2008 for $16,900
03 GSR with 48k in 2011 for $16k

Many deals to be had out there, you just have to look and never buy from anyone but the owner of the car, your buying a car that relies on maintenance heavily. You have no idea what has been done and what has not... Always buy stock and build.

 

Im picking up my evo 9 tomorrow with 11k on it for 21 from a dealer and trading in my sti. im getting a good deal and i can prove it if there is any non believers.

 

I paid 22 for my 2005 EVOVIII with 27k . original owner , no accidents, mint. Keep looking.

 

Be sure that the 60k mile service has been done! Check the wear on the timing belt for an indication if the service was done. If it has not, you need a serious discount on the asking price...and you need a serious discount on the price regardless!

Good luck.
