Considering an Evo X
Currently I own a 2003 Eclipse Spyder, but want to use that primarily as a summer/nice weather car for days when I can put the top down.
I need a second car to use in the snow/rain and to commute to college now. So my thinking is why not spend the money on a car I actually want.
Option 1:
http://www.cars.com/vehicledetail/de...0129/overview/
2008 Evo X GSR
Color: Blue
Mileage: 77,883
Price: $21,995
Option 2:
http://www.cars.com/vehicledetail/de...587/overview/#
2010 Evo X GSR
Color: Blue
Mileage: 145,664
Price: $16,688
Option 3:
http://www.cars.com/vehicledetail/de...2967/overview/
2010 Evo X GSR
Color: Black
Mileage: 62,613
Price: $23,298
Also, at the mileages these Evo's are at what are some things to look for and upcoming maintenance that will need to get done?
When I bought my Eclipse I know I needed to change the timing belt and check for rust in the strut towers.

I really wanted a Wicked White Evo, but just cannot find them within 100 miles of me for any decent price. I'm still searching, but I want to make the purchase within the next month or two.

Anything pre-2011 needs a timing chain replacement because they are prone to stretching, just keep that in mind. Is also something you can use to negotiate with. Good luck in your search they are fantastic cars.

Hmmm everything form TrueCar, edmunds, cars.com, and KBB said these were good prices.
I am trying to spend no more than $25k total including taxes and fees, and also trying to get as low mileage as possible. In White preferably or I could live with Blue.
In my main car forum somebody mentioned they wouldn't want to buy any of these because of the likelihood they were beat up by kids "becuz racecar". Just wondering what you guys had to say about that? I do love the Evo, but I don't need to throw more money at one within the next year because the suspension is shot etc.
I've searched on all the cars sites within 100 miles of my location because that's as far as I'm willing to go to do a test drive etc. I also don't want to buy somebody else s project, god knows what could be wrong with their setup and such. All of these factors combined seem to severley limit my choice of Evo's. There's several others with good pricing and miles but have been completely modified by the Owner because they "gave up and are done".

Yup. The unfortunate thing about buying a used performance oriented vehicle, such as the evo, is that it's probably been thrashed lol. However, there are a few, and I mean few, used evos out there that have been properly driven. The worst thing about a used evo is that the transfer case can go out pretty easily if the car has been launched a couple times. I wouldn't buy an evo with 100k+ miles on it. No way Jose. I watched a guy with a X at a car meet recently launch his evo multiple times and burned his clutch in the process. I just thought about how bad I feel for the next owner.
I bought my evo new because of that reason. I now know what has been done to my car, who has worked on it, how it was driven, etc.

That's the same thing I was thinking when I wanted a brand new Evo, but I cannot finance $37k to get the Evo I'd want brand new sadly
I might have to buy another car and just leave the Evo on hold and hopefully some things work out and I can get a still fairly new one next year
