Good Deal? *UPDATED*!

I am looking at a used 2005. They are asking $25k. Heres the details:

Miles: 22785
Carbon Fiber Hood
Tinted windows (not sure on %)
Alpine CD Player
Keyless Entry
AEM intake

I will have to contact them to get details on any more modifications on the car and I will get them back to you guys.

There are no dings, dents, scratches, nonsmoker, looks great.

The seller also said that in first gear you can feel a slight vibration on release but the clutch doesnt slip at all in any gear. Anyone know what might cause this?

Thanks guys, I'll get more information when it becomes available.

*UPDATE* on second page!

Sounds like a good deal, but you could probably find better.

Blue book puts it around $27k, but like I said, you can probably find a better deal if you look around.

25k is great for an 05 MR if it's in good condition. I'd definitely find out about that clutch thing. That doesn't sound normal, but you should feel it yourself.

Thanks guys.

Well I'm sure if I brought up the clutch issue and had cash in hand I could talk them down. I was just hoping someone on here has had the problem above or knows what it could be.

Another good thing about the car is it is in pick up range for me and it is the color I've been looking for. Seems like a really great deal, just wanted some good input from everyone here. Only thing that worries me is the clutch issue.

But actually if i was you I would either spend the extra 2k and find a EVO 9 or spend around 20k for a used 03-04 evo 8. You can find clean 03's all day long with like no miles and then you can used the money you saved to mod it.

Well I've been looking for a while, and the money is now becoming available to me. It seems to be hard to find something thats within a reasonable driving distance to go check out. I don't want something that has been modded like crazy already, and TB is my color of choice so this one stuck out like a really good deal. Just wish I would know what the deal is with the clutch problem.

Your car has no mods on it because of your MASSIVE EVO 9 PART OUT, as listed in your sig.
