I would change ALL the fluids:
Oil
Tranny
T-case
Rear Diff
Coolant
I would inspect the belts / brakes (maybe even brake fluid depending on how well it stops) / tires.
I would do a boost leak test.
As far as mods go - 89,000 isn't too too high. Start off with the basic bolt-ons and KEEP UP WITH THE MAINTENANCE. Never buy go fast parts without doing proper maintenance first.
Have fun and good luck

great questions, i get my evo used with high miles and i did some small mods to it without any problems. also, the guy took good care of the evo before i bought it from the dealership. I don't see any problem about modding your evo now. those engines are very strong.

DO NOT buy any warranty
it's a waste...they'll screw you over with that
aside from that do what binky suggested with the fluids
inquire about any records of the 60k maintenance...that would worry me most

I'll talk to them to see if I can get it lowered if they really want me to buy it.

why?
because mitsubishi doesn't honor their warranty what makes you think some random dealer will honor theirs?
they'll tell you "oh that's excluded in the warranty"
warranties like that are gimmicks to get a few extra hundred or thousand out of you...it's commission-able money
