I'm looking for a little advice. I am lookin into buying my first EVO this week, or possibly next week at the latest. I came across a dealer that is selling two 06 EVO lX. One is white with 60k miles, it has had the 60k done so it by the dealership. Aftermarket parts include a magnaflow exhaust and a bov (I don't remember the name) as well as lowering springs. It is missing a head unit as well. which i guess is no big deal as I waa going to replace it anyways. Cosmetically I would give it a 8/10 not bad, but there are some little scratches, and some little paint chips on the good. Looks like the previous owner was a tailgater lol.
The other EVO lX is silver with 80k on it. It as well has an exhaust and bov. A carbon hood and a carbon wing. The aftermarket rims look nice as well. I can't remember why brand they were. Cosmetically I would give it a 9/10 it looks really clean and sounds clean. Although when think me first started, the serpentine belt was squeezing and after about 5 mins of it idling it stopped and didn't hear it again.
The white EVO the dealership is asking 14.9k and the 15.9k for the silver one. I'm sure I can talk then down quite a bit. What do you guys think? He said that he will swap the carbon hood to the white one as well as the rims, and do an alignment on them if needed. I am going to test drive them both either today or tomorrow. I will post more things as I find them out.

 

price sounds too good to be true. ix's sell for 20k+ with that kind of mileage here in cali

 

Those both seem like really good prices, especially the 60k mile one. Any idea what trim level they are? The other thing is to find out what BOV they have. Anyone who replaces a IX BOV is either a.) ignorant or b.) was trying to push some serious boost through the IX BOV. It's the "little things" with these cars. Best of luck, I hope you get one!

 

I'm not sure why trim they are. They both have power windows and a sunroof. As far as bov goes the previous owner was more then likely ignorant lol. When revving it up you could hardly hear the the bov blow the air. With the good popped. I also forgot to add that the silver one has the SES on, and I had the guy hook it up to the computer and it's the O2 sensor because of the car delete. But being on a military installation there is a weaver we can get for that I have been told. A friend if a friend got a weaver for the same SES light this one has

 

High miles and lots of mods. Meh. Make sure you get modified vehicle insurance.

 

I went and I test drove the silver evo today. For some reason it's not letting me upload pics. For starters the bov is **** and will be replaced immediately! The clutch grabs like it should, and the transmission feel smooth. Shifting was a breeze. As far as power goes, it felt well... Stock. This one has 80k on the dash and I said I wanna walk out of there with it for 16k and he said that was fine. He will do 16, he was hesitant but he have it I cash. I didn't buy it yet. I was looking for some more opinions. It does have the SES on for the O2 sensor. Let me know what you guys think! Thanks for the help!

 

What does the Carfax say? Any wrecks and ****?

 

The car fax came back clean. There was no problems. There was no accidents, no rebuilds.
