Alright guys as you can see my name im in the market for an evo 9. I live in chicago and for some reason this car is damn hard to find haha. but ok IS THIS A GOOD DEAL OR NOT

06 White lancer Evo 9

with 29,588 miles

mint condition with minor mods such as

apexi n1 full cat, megan o2 housing, ams stage 1 kit, and tein lowering springs

price asking is 25,995

my goal is to pay 25,000 for it but what do you guys think ???

 

Mine is an 8. Got it for $24600 with 31K miles. I would say that's a great deal but if you take your time and do some more search, you may find cheaper somewhere else.... Good luck!

 

It's hard to find a IX because most guys are holding onto them and not switching to the X. The one you found seems like a good deal. Just make sure to have it looked over by a mechanic since it's been modded. Also, Tein springs are typically the WORST springs to put on an Evo, so the stock struts are probably shot or will go on you at any time.

Good luck.

 

i was gonna say the same thing about the springs. good price though but make sure the stock struts are still good.

 

also, what kinda IX is it? RS GSR MR? I know here we used to be able to buy brand new IX RS's for 25k but we knew the dealer guy. Just keep that in mind

 

o im sorry its a gsr (SE) ok thanks for the info about the struts/ shocks didnt know that.

Ive been looking for more but it just seems the pickyier i get the furhter the cars are lol. but im going tomorow to go look at it in person at the dealer,, is there anything other than the struts i should look out for when buyin an evo

 

its a good deal

 

Do a search for "tein s-tech" and you'll read all the horror stories people have experienced with them. Not only do they ride terribly, they aren't a good match for the stock struts and seem to have a tendency for blowing out the struts after very limited mileage. If you go for that car, ask the dealership to replace the struts/springs with brand new stock struts/springs. You really don't want the struts/Tein combo that are on it.

 

but the dealer the car is at is not a mitsubishi dealer so can they still actually change them???, but actually look heres the link for the car tell me what you guys think about it.
