http://www.cars.com/go/search/detail...nal&listType=1


Just wondering what u guys think about this? Sold my evo8 and I'm starting to get the itch
Again. Kind of scared about the alky kit. Does anyone know the previous owner?
All opinions welcomed.

Thanks guys!

That is really nice car. However, for me, I won't buy it cuz I don't know what previous owner did with the evo X.
Also, I know it's modified, but price seems high
It's 4 years old car now.... I rather than pay 24G stock 2008 evo x and rest 5G to work on modification.

Yeah I'm OK with all the mods except the alky kit but the exterior is exactly how I would mod it. So was thinking this will save me time.

Also the prices for evo x in the northeast seems to be higher than other parts of the
country as well. Any reason for that?

I would not buy.. Quick story. Mitsubishi does not have a " Mitsubishi Approved" used car thing.. If you buy a used honda it has to go through a Honda Approval program and replace all stock parts.. AKA Intake, exhaust, DP, Test pipe.. Things that will make the car fail an inspection.. So anyhow.. My buddy bought a used 2008 GSR with 22k miles for 24k.. Only had a intake and exhaust.. On his way home from the Dealer.. Clutch blew, master cyn went, and since it was not " Mitsubishi Approved", Dealer refused to cover the ****.. So yeah good deal 24k... just went to 26... Be carful of Evo's.. People beat the **** outta them.. GL OP. I would pass though.

Stay away, way too expensive even if it does have some mods. I payed that much for my 2010 with only 9K miles on it.

They have Rota rims and I'm going to assume Seibon carbon parts so it's not like the outside exterior is that nice.

The Intercooler and piping and intake are good, but I'd be hesitant about buying a car with an alky kit...

Looks nice, and most of the aftermarket parts are nice..

But at that price, I think I'd just spend a little more and buy one brand new.
