He probably made a mistake of test-driving a properly modded CT9A.

The X is great, idk I've always wanted a IX. Now that my evo isn't my daily driver anymore I figured it'd be a great time to switch. The IX is sexier imo and I love the potential of the 4G63. It honestly seems like they're holding value much better than my X has also. A car is never an investment but minimizing the loss is always a good thing haha.

The IX does seem to be very desirable. For the most part, pricing seems to be going up, but occasionally I see a cheaper one on Facebook that makes me want ****** it up right away LOL.

Modded is definitely the plan. Picked up a super clean ix mr with a 5 speed swap. Besides that everything is stock! Rally red with 31k on it after driving 900 miles home in it. Already planning on a 2.4 and Ive been looking at the fp zero.

nice find! if you are going for crazy power and torque, and don't want to build a 6spd, the 5spd is a good way to go. it's not as nice feeling, but that's not too big of a deal.

and the low-mileage is a bonus. bad ***, dude!

I've got around 5k miles on my triple. Mostly street driven. Never had any issues so far. It's been one of my favorite clutches yet.
