Hey I finally decided to go check out the X! I am somewhat familiar with the X, and I am aware that the transmission can be notch, but I am mainly familiar with the 8/9. The one Im looking at has 30k miles and has the following mods:

Buschur Evo X Upper IC pipe kit
FIC 1100cc High Impedance Injectors
Buschur Evo GSR lower IC pipe kit
GSC S2 Duel Mivec Camshafts
Buschur Evo X Fmic Upgrade
Arp Headstuds
Buschur Duel Valve Springs and Retainer kit
Forged UNOS Manual Boost controller
Buschur Evo 3" Stainless true Duel Cat back Exhaust with Bullet Muffler
Buschur Evo 3" Offroad Pipe.
Buschur Evo 3" Downpipe & O2 housing Combo Package
Evo X Mass air pipe kit with Filter
Evo X OEM Updated fuel Relay
EvoScan 2.7 for logging ECU
Innovative Motorsports Lc-1 WB O2 sensor and gauge
Prolific Serial to Usb Converter
Evo X HKS spark plugs
Autometer 30-0-30 Sport Comp Boost Gauge
Tacctrix OpenPort 2.0 Cable
Oem Evo X Head Gasket.
Agency Power Adjustable Blowoff Valve
GrimmSpeed Mitsu Boost Control Solenoid
built in radar dector
rain guards
Painted wheels

What else should I look out for with these types?

 

Just bring it to a decent shop that know's Evo's and have them look it over. Why would someone want to trade that in with all the money they put into it? Check the car fax as well.

 

Evo shop is not going to be a possibility. This dealership does deal with a lot of evos, so I can bet their mechanic has gone through it. I going to push for some type of warranty but I'm going to be inspecting this car myself, meticulously.

 

Well even with the warranty the aftermarket parts are not going to be covered so I wouldn't waste the money on that, like I mistakenly did.

 

If what you wrote is true, I'd try this approach:

"Hi, Mr Dealer Person, I'm here to see the modded Evo X."

"Right this way, sir."

"Thanks. Let's go for a test-drive."

(After test-drive.)

"So, Mr Dealer Person, does this really have a test-pipe?"

"Yes."

"OK, how about this? you sell it to me for half what you're asking and I don't call the EPA."

 

Lol ^^

 

Lol that would be awesome!

Hey guys, I just test drove the car and the tune blows, even though it shows having an AMS tune. They swapped the mbc for an ecu controlled one, and the idle is NOT right. It's stalling fairly often, and has trouble idling.

So I think I can just retune it. There's no noises, although it was a little difficult.

 

Haha well for your sake I hope that's all

 

Here are some pics. It drives sorta good when it's not breaking up. It feels just like my 8 did when I put autolight plugs in.

They want 26,5. What should I offer?

 

Just offer like 24 haha. How many miles are on it? And what year? You'll need some coils or springs so you aren't driving a tank around. Looks like some powder coated rims?

 

It has 30k miles.

 

It's from Indiana, previous owner lived in ky

 

Anyone know an Alan Robinson from Muncie, Indiana? I need to know why he got rid of it

 

26k isn't bad for all the mods and low miles granted that it's in good mechanical order.
