Looking to purchase and Evo what should i look out for?
Yeah, its pretty close at 40k to the normal time an Evo needs a clutch. Paint is fine, just dirty. Ill probably clean it up again (did last year for him to sell be he never got around to it) as soon as weather gets better.

My roommate is selling (but hasnt posted anywhere about it) his TB IX SSL w/ 39k miles. It needs to be cleaned up quite a bit as its been neglected for the last year since he bought his "other" toy.
If you need to go through emissions youll have to find stock exhaust cause this has an old custom exhaust from English racing and no cat. Also rear o2 sensor is bad, got hit by a tire scrap from a semi, but that can just be turned off at ER which Im pretty sure we can get done for free (OG POS hookup).
Anyways, it has a few mods but has always been at 19-20psi and still on the stock clutch. I think he's looking for something in the 19k range.

ya i know lol but you gotta also consider i can get a warranty for the car. and isnt 19k a good price for that car? i mean its an e9 mr. maybe im just being a little impulsive. but i have been looking for awhile and everyone else wants like 24k for a 05 evo 8 with 50k miles...
ya thats exactly what it is lol it is not the original bumper but the carfax came back clean so that really makes me wonder... but i dunno what do you guys/girls think?

the car you're looking at looks like it was in some sort of accident in the past, there's no other real reason someone would chop an evo8 nose and put it on an evo9. if you plan on building/tracking the car, the 6-speed isn't the best option IMO. also painted wheels = owner obviously didnt' care much about keeping the car in pristine shape. unless clutch was done recently, it's probably needing to be changed in the next 10k miles, and the 90k service is soon-coming. aftermarket blow off valve, no snorkel on the intake, no floormats
you can do better
also, while this one below may look good, it's from a car lot auction in florida and has a salvage title (I looked at it when shopping for a car)

and call ER and ask about the car if they have it on file still
be patient. i know what it's like to want to impulse buy, i was in the same boat without a car and needing one and i didnt want to wait, but i did and it paid off. you are paying a premium on that car at 19k. if you don't have autocheck, get it. unlimited reports for 1 month, best money i spent.
