Car looks clean enough. They will no way in hell let you do a compression test on the car there unless it is something you can bargain to have them do.
Take the car for a drive listen and feel.
-How does it shift?
-Any whining at speed?(Low gear Low RPM whine is normal at highway speed it's bad)
-Take it up on the highway and in 5th from about 3k mash it to make sure the clutch isn't slipping like crazy (RPM will shoot up
-How do the brakes feel? (Any shake or shimmy when applying them)
-Shake or shimmy in the wheel at speed?
-Look underneath the car any rash?
It's a used car and there are things that you need to check just like any used car. The EVO does have some things that will stick out at you though.

identical to my car lol, i would try to beat them down on price if there isnt a cat be like i need to put a cat on it blah blah blah, try to find as much stuff wrong to use as a bargaining point and dont act excited at all they will use that, its all a game they have it setup that they will act differently toward different buyers, I'd ask for the invoice of what they bought the car for if it was traded in they probably got it for cheap so you might be paying $4k over what they bought it for I've done this plenty of times and told them i wont buy it unless they show me the invoice for what they bought it for to make sure its a fair price and also ask for the phone number of the original owner to ask him questions they might say its confidential but thats a lie ive made them give it to me lol
