Hi guys,

I currently own a 04 WRX but my dream car is an Evo 9. Ive had the WRX for a little over a half of a year and love it but Ive been searching for an evo forever and today something came up on my facebook. A beautiful rally red evo 9.

Here's the link. http://www.deandaauto.com/2006_Mitsu..._265831172.veh

Now, its got 100k on it and to me that's not bad (being a subaru guy) but as far as evo's go, what kind of things start to go wrong right at this time? What should I ask the dealership selling it? What are some common concerns?

The car is tuned for e85 and is mostly stock besides that. This shouldn't be a problem because my WRX is on e85 as well after I put in ID1000 injectors and a 255 fuel pump.

Any help is much appreciated.

 

Ask the dealership for 3 days to take it to your mechanic.
Take it straight to your local mitsubishi dealership or a reputable shop that specializes in the platform.
Bumper to bumper inspection.
That way it's a go or no go..

 

it looks to be in pretty decent shape, but I think they're asking too much. usually 100k evo 9 sells for around 16-18k. Searching through Facebook is another good way to find an evo because I see people use that to list their cars for sale all the time. Finding one through a dealer does make financing it easier though

 

That is the only reason im considering going for this one at a dealership; I need a loan for it. The price is negotiable so id see how low he would go.

 

Like lonestarr20 said, take it to a shop that has knowledge on these cars. Make sure to perform a compression and, if needed, leak down test. Carfax is a must nowadays. Try to find out who tuned the car for E85 too. Other than that, it looks good.

 

What trim package is this Evo? Is this an SE or MR ? Confused by the lip/ 5 speed/ all leather/ sunroof

 

It's the SSL package.

Not a big fan of how they painted the whole spoiler red (or at least the wicker bill, from what I can see on my phone), but that can always be swapped out.

 

motor looks stockish. Body looks clean for a rally red. Also has a JDM bumper, tanabe medallion catback from I can tell.

I am with what someone said about taking to your mechanic or someone that knows the cars well and have a look over. Good luck.
