It appears to be very clean and it has Enkei RPF-1's, just wondering if anyone knows the history. I know it's in Chicago and the first owner had it for almost 3 years.

Thanks I'm not too familiar with Mitsubishi's colors yet. It's stated as an 05, BTW are those the OEM tail lights?

I have been interested in this car, but it has a replaced motor. An evo with 38k with a replaced motor already? Someone was beating the **** out of it, imo. The engine bay looks like a cluttered mess also!

Thanks TSI, I saw it through USAA's car buying service and I believe it was also on eBay at one point. Do you know where I can find pics of the engine bay?

how you like that TL?

I have thought about getting one, since it seems lately, I might not be able to get an evo again.

It looks like an ordinary Evo with RPF1s to me. I do love the color though.

Why do you say that you'll never be able to get an Evo again?

I love the TL it's a fairly good all around car. I've never had a problem with it at all. The 3rd Generation which is from 2004-2008 is my favorite model. I've had my car keyed twice though, that's about it. I get around 22MPG on gas, being that I drive locally to work. Here's some snaps of it.

That looks ****in sick man!!

well the only evo's I can afford right now are 03's. but being an 03, my bank is wanting a high interest rate. So it might not be in the playing cards for me right now.

At least with TL's I can find plenty of 05-06 in the mid to low teens. With approx. 50k miles.

That's a real bummer man. Yea your insurance will be lower too. I'd recommend getting a auto, but that's just me. I have a 6 MT. Funny thing is I was supposed to get an Evo 4 years ago, but they didn't let me test drive it so I bought the TL.
