2006 evo 9 mr

Hello,

I was wondering if this evo 9 mr used to belong to anyone on this forum?
http://www.autotrader.com/cars-for-s...23925794&Log=0

If so could you pm me or e mail me at bitcloud68@yahoo.com? Thank you

Has this evo been in the seen in Columbus Ohio or somewhere near for a while?

What do you guys think about the price? I test drove it and I believe that it is a total beast and I think that it has to have at least 350whp.

When I test drove it, it kept miss firing I believe it was my driving because the clutch was stiff and not used to it or I wasn't pushing enough throttle. Or something wrong with the tune. The engine Sound sounded like it was built at least cams.

Id try to stay away something that has modifications that isnt being sold to you by the person who did them. Its always sketchy when a dealership is trying to get rid of them, and 28k is a bit steep for an 06 with 35k.

In short, I would shop the evom marketplace and buy a nearly stock evo, or from someone who at least has receipts for work done to the car, rather than buying a modified car from a dealer that you know nothing about.

thank you for the advice i have been looking in the evom marketplace but most of the cars are not near me because i am in central Columbus, most i see are in Illinois or in on the east coast.

these statements bother the hell out of me. It depends where you live. Where i am from an 04 evo with 30k milles if its mint goes for 25k and they sell FAST. OMG HA HA HA SO FUNNY! ...not. dont compare what you would price and evo or any car for that matter when you dont know the first thing about the market of where the car is at.

Lol that is a big rip, not to mention every salesmen in that dealership has probably taken that evo to lunch and ripped the **** out of it.

I look on craigslist all the time and that evo has been on there for months. Evos dont last long when they are up for sale so that should tell you something about the price. That is a good dealership but you will always pay more then buying private. Just wait it out, you will find one close. I jumped on the first one that I found and WISH i would have waited it out.

Driving from Columbus to Chicago is well worth it for a good EVO. Many drive/fly much farther than that. It's a minor inconvenience for so much enjoyment

/drove 7 hours each way to get my IX MR.

How did you find these evos? I tried searching lancer evo on craigslist and the only one i saw was that last one with the salvage title. What did you search?

I usually type in evolution or evo 8 or 9. Craigslist can be tricky

Just stay away from the one from that dealership, you can get much better deals than that, and Its always better to buy from the owner that installed the modifications, or paid to have them installed.
