Is This Evo A Good Buy?

Pretty cheap as far as I've found. Relatively low miles too. I wanted to pick your guys' brains and see if there's something obvious I'm missing as to why it's so cheap?

Honestly looks like a pretty damn good deal.
60k is somewhat high, but not bad, but be prepared to do scheduled maintenance at this mileage.
Car looks clean, doesn't look like any mix match parts, engine bay looks clean and stock, tires have lots of tread, I'd say go for it.
But remember, pictures don't tell everything. Look the car over top to bottom, check everything, you should know what to look for.
And of course, test drive. Get on it, make sure it pulls good and runs fine. See how the clutch feels to see how much life is left, etc.
Good luck!

It looks very good. You should check it very thoroughly. Test drive it and feel how the tranny is. Check the inspection plate one the bell housing and see what color the pressure plate is; if its anything other than black it probably has an AM clutch in it. Also either do it youself or take it to a mechanic and have a compression test done to check for any piston/ring damage.
Drive it WOT on the test drive also. That car is extremely cheap, but maybe they need a quick sale. Good luck with getting an Evo.

Agreed. That does look like a good deal from the pics. However, when you see it in person it could be different. The best advice is don't get over excited and buy the first one you look at.
Good luck!

i have to agree with the above i really hate red evos in color but that one is clean. I could not find a dent rust misalignment etc. So body looks straight but as stated you need to drive it get on it test breaks test sunroof electronic etc listen for whining sounds of tcase and way motor sounds etc. good luck

I've got to hold off for now... As MUCH as I don't want to.
My lease isn't up for another 8 months, but they'd buy it out for $2,500 under what I owe... So it's like putting $2,500 down, but nothing coming off the payment at all.
Man it's hard to resist, and I could actually make it work, but it'd just be soooooooo dumb...
...Unless of course you guys think this car is worth $19,000... Then the math would actually add up and I'd buy today
