Silver IX SE less than 8k miles

2006 silver IX SE with a dro in K&N, GSC S1 cams(I wanted a stock idle), DC sports cat delete down pipe, HKS HiPower cat back, Apexi AVCR(22-23psi), walbro 255 and a flash from KevinD before I added the cams. Right now it has 7,900 miles and the oil has been changed twice.
I drive my GSX much more often than my evo. My GSX has a rod knock now though. The evo stays inside most of the time. The windows have not been tinted. I won't even roll the windows down if there's dust on them to avoid scratching the glass. Nor will I drive it on the highway out of town to avoid baked on bugs and rock chips.
It has a Defi blue racer boost gauge on the steering column.
I also have the Mitsubishi rubber floor mats in the car. The regular carpet set was in the car for less than a month. They have been in my closet since then.
I'v been a Mitsu tech for over 3 years now, and I did all the installs and maint. myself.

It DOES have a rock chip in the windshild right where the drivers side wiper blade is. It's not repairable cause the crack is on the inside. It hasn't spread at this point. One of my friends has been doing glass work for 10+ years if you are interested in installing a new factory windshield into the car. He also has an evo. I have scraped the SE lip ONCE on a parking stop. I have pics of the small scrap spots on each side of the lip.


I love this car so much, but I have too many toys, and I want to focus more on my DSM(soon to be a caged Galant VR4). I would LOVE to mod my evo, but I just don't think I can make myself tear into it like that, it's too much of a virgin and never been touched. haha. I won't even pull the manifold to have it ported. I will only wash this car indoors at work where we have filter/treated water. I still have all the stock stuff. I still have the yellow tags on both keychains from Don Herring when I bought it. I won't even set my elbows down on the suede door panel or center arm rest cause it leaves little impressions.
Right now it has a Clarion head unit in it. I think I'm putting it back to the stock one today. I will leave it in if you want, but it just has an unfinished look to it since the little Clarion trim piece doesn't fit on. I have the factory Mitsu Ipod adapter if you want me to install it with the factory head unit. It it also wired for a sub. I put a 10 in it for a while, but I wasn't about to drill any holes in the trunk to hold the box down, so I took it out. If you want I can leave that wireing in there. I was thinking of taking that out today also.
The wheels are pefect, the stock Advans still have a LOT of tread left. I did get a nail in the RR tire. I took it off and patched it myself. That was many months ago, and it's not leaking.

Sorry this post is so scattered, I keep remembering things as I type. haha.

Now here's the problem. Since I bought one of the last new IXs out there, I havn't had it very long to pay it down, so I still owe a pretty good amount. Becuase of this, I'm looking to get $25,800. At this point I can't really go much lower. I don't have any more money than that to make up the difference that I owe. If this is too much, I will just have to wait til I can pay it down a little more with some larger payments.

Thanks for the space,

These are with my phone. I can get better pics if needed.

I don't think you should have any problem selling for that price. Nice car!

it is a good price for such a low mileage car. the problem that i can see is with the X being sold at 0% and the price of the base model hovering at 29k to 31k a potential buyer might think twice between your car and getting a brand new X.

Good luck though.
