Hey guys...I just found at my local dealership a used Black VIII with 11,000 miles for 20,000? You guys think thats a good deal?

 

Thats a great deal if it comes with a warranty, if not try to get a new 9 before they are all gone. A used 8 has proabably been beat on but since it only has 11grand on the clock you may be ok.

 

$20k still sounds low. Get as much info on the car as you can, history, service records, so on. Maybe they are just trying to get rid of it, but with low miles usually the dealer will hike the price cause it's "almost new"...

 

yea it comes with full warranty and everything....the dealer said the car is in pristine condition...im not going to mod which ever evo i get...so you think i should go with the 8?

 

and by the way its a 2005

 

Shoot me the VIN and I'll get you a carfax. That sounds really low for an 05. I'd be suspicious.

 

the carfax report says ......IMPORTANT! The 3 records on this 2005 MITSUBISHI LANCER EVOLUTION AWD may confirm a clean title history or uncover potential problems. Find out by ordering the complete CARFAX Vehicle History Report ........whats your guys opinion now?

 

Post the VIN and I'll run a check for you. I have access to carfax.

Carfax is clean... Carfax is not a failsafe though. $20k does sounds really low, you may wanna have it checked by an independent mechanic if you decide to buy.

you think theres something else? its at a mitsubishi dealership...not jsut some used car place...

 

Take an Evo tuner like John Meuller with you if you check it out,.. also when you carfax it make sure it's not from New Orleans or other flood damaged areas.

 

have a mechanic check it out, but i would be leary of someone hitting something and not claiming it so it doesnt show up on the carfax.

 

If that car is clean, I would jump all over it. I bought my '03 for 22 with 32k on it, everything was in mint condition and haven't had a single problem yet. So have it checked out, but that is one hell of a deal.

 

Great deal for an 05. Buy it before somone else does.
