today, i went to a private dealer for an evo 9. i didnt see the car, but it has 19k miles and there asking 23k. im gonna jump on it, but i gotta sell my rsx first, and tommorow im gonna test drive it. it has a clean title, 1 owner, and the color is a dark blue, which they say is a special color. my question is what kinds of noises, occurences should i look for when driving it? if its s good evo, and my rsx gets sold this week, im getting it.

 

That sounds like a good price from what you are describing. Good luck to you. Do a search on here for what to look for when buying an Evo.

 

well if you hear clicking noises from the engine it is probably the injectors or the lifters which is normal. o the turbo

 

dark blue? was it in a wreck?

 

one thing I would do is call a mitsu dealer and check if there are any open recalls on the car, they can also let you know what was previously done like oil changes and warrantee work.

 

ive seen it blue evos before, but this one is like an electric blue, like that civic si. no accidents, i have a carfax in my hand.

 

btw, its an 06 evo 9

 

oh...yea, I have seen that color, I was thinking of a midnight blue.

 

I would also have it checked out at a mitsu dealership, shouldent cause you more than 100 bucks.

 

AviKM you live in Queens, NYC? if so i can help u out..i know most of the evos that are on sale around the general area. Which dealer is it btw?

 

Do yourself a favor and have a PPI done by a professional at an Evo-specific shop. Not any import shop, but one what specializes on Evos. It is very common to see a car traded, because its owner screwed it up.

Er...blue is a "special color?" Huh?

 

t-case whine. its normal first and second. And the clicking like mentioned above would be the injectors..But i would do what FJF said thats the best way to go about it.
