OK, but I'm still $2800 upside down on my lease. So, add that in with the price of the car, and it's really about $19,000... Is it worth it if the car's pristine?

Also, do you think a deal THIS good will come by within the next 8 months again before my lease is up?

I've been checking for about the past month. 05's for less than $18,000 and under 60k miles aren't popping up left and right, but that's probably persuaded by the fact that I REALLY WANT ONE...

I really think I should wait, but I dunno.

IMO, if you think you should wait then wait. The last thing that you want is second guessing your decision and then come to find out the car has a problem that wasn't caught by you or even someone experienced. Unlikely if you have a good mitsu person look it over, but it could happen and you would then be a disgruntled evo owner.

Ho-Ly-Crap...

Check out that thing... Just a couple bucks more, but it doesn't list the miles I called and emailed them already requesting it. I will make ends meet to get this car... This thing is sick...

Looks slightly tuned already though, kinda worried about that.

I called the seller. 40,000 miles... It's going to be very very tough to not sell my soul for this car...

Not bad at all. See if they will let you do a compression check. GL

That thing is pretty sick, price is very reasonable.

That GG looks nice but I'd wonder about it being a IX. Aren't those VIII headlights/taillights, and the nose almost looks like a chop job, but can't really tell. I could be wrong. It definitely has an aftermarket intake, OP.

I'm not sure which car the person is referencing above regarding salvaged title, but definitely check into that, OP.
