Hey All,

Been reading the forums here for a long time and I am finally in a position to get an Evo so I figured I better start posting and contributing.

I live in the Seattle area and have wanted an Evo for the past four years but was in college or in debt or both most of the time. I finally have a job and things in order so I figure what better way to celebrate than buy an Evo!

I have never actually driven an evo but I am planning to start test driving soon. I know I will love one, just a gut feeling I have. Been looking at getting an 06 MR, SE, or SSL, leaning towards an MR SE even though the ones I have been seeing are in the $25k region.

Anyways, I look forward to talking with y'all and contributing to the boards.

 

Welcome and good luck!

 

Welcome. Not sure what your plans are for the car but if you plan on drag racing the 6 spd is weak.

 

good luck man you will enjoy every part the the mitsubishi evolution.

 

25 sounds way too high. 20 is more in the ballpark for Evo 9s, and you can pick up a clean MR for around that price:

I would show these listings to the local dealer, and let them know that you are ready to make a deal at around 20K, but if they don't budge, plan on a road trip.

 

Yeah, would definitely like to pick one up for around 20k. I feel like these IXs really hold their value. I am seeing low mileage Xs cheaper than IXs now.

 

Take your time browsing for a good deal. They are out there if you look!! Good luck and keep us updated with your future purchase and mods!!
