New Evo IX RS Owner

Picking this car up in less than a week (waiting for delivery), it's an '06 with less than 6k on the odometer. I plan to autox the car regularly.

Looks like a good forum you guys got here, I look forward to learning a lot about my car and hopefully will be able to contribute in the near future.

How much??? I f-ing love the white, and I'm a huge fan of the wingless look.

$25,900 before ttt.

Hopefully the previous owner didn't rag on the car. At least the basic warranty (5yr/60k) transfers to me, but the 10yr powertrain does not.

Thanks, I'm coming from a Sentra SE-R, so it's quite an upgrade. I'm really into autox and can't wait to find a second set of 17x8 and slap some Hoosiers on them to compete in A-Stock.

Currently on the car are Sumitomo HTR+, which are decent performance all season, but for daily driving I'd rather have some Falken Azenis RT-615 on the factory rims.

Yeah, I thought of that too, so I'm taking a chance here. It was a good deal and I couldn't pass it up. I hope the worst case scenario is that the clutch/flywheel needs to replaced soon.

My local Mitsu dealer is about 10 minutes from my house, and it has to be the smallest new car dealer I've seen in my life. Hopefully the service guys are half way competent if I do need their warranty services, but that's wishful thinking. Like many, I've had some horrible dealership experiences in the past.

You'll be allright. I picked up a se with 5k for 27500 before taxes here in Miami. my tires in the front were a little chopy but in all no problems from the previous owner.
