do what everyone else is doing: call South Coast Mitsubishi and buy an X down there, and drive up. We got an X here at the shop for a super low price OTD from them
The Evo 9 is the most reliable out of the bunch of Evo's made....Dont know about the new one and dont care...
I believe the 2006 Evo is the best, try and find a MR edition...!!

BMW!!! with how rough the market is these days, I wouldnt be surprised if you found an 07 335i for about 30k. Hopefully it will have the new 3rd gen HPFP (high pressure fuel pump)...
Have an 08 335i and love that thing to death, couldnt get rid of the suby either because I need her for Tahoe!! Oh yea its snowing in Tahoe right now!!

Former Evo owner here. I don't know your color preference, but I found this low mileage one on socalevo.net for $25k.
I'll post the whole fs ad just so you don't have to register to view.

Well, like I said the other day I got caught in the wake of the housing market taking a dump and my loan went variable so I have to make some changes, unfortunately that means selling the Evo. Here are the updated pics as promised. I would rather see it go to someone in the SoCal community if it’s possible. Anyway, here’s a brief rundown on the car.
Current mileage is 16,1XX
VIN: JA3AH86C86U032840 Feel free to carfax
Car is is located in Barstow, CA. It has been here since I bought it and drove it up from SC Mitsu so no worries about rust, water damage, etc.
Mods:
Tanabe downpipe (also have the stock downpipe)
Tanabe Concept Blue G Catback (also have the test pipe)
RRE high flow Cat
Defi D boost gauge mounted on the steering column
K&N drop-in filter
S2000 antenna
Ralliart shiftknob
Clear bra on the bumper, headlights, hood, fenders, and mirrors
Custom car cover made by California car covers (fits everything perfectly)
And lastly I had the SE lip installed. (It came off Antic’s and he did the install for me so you know it was done right)
Full 15K service performed by South Coast Mitsubishi on May 3rd 2008. Car received a clean bill of health.
New tires installed at 15K service: Nitto NT01's. Currently have roughly 125 miles on them (Mileage is from the drive back up to Barstow).
Asking price:$27,000 [size=15pt]$26,000[/size][size=18pt]$25,500[/size][size=18pt]Dropped again....$25,000[/size]
WILL:
Answer any questions about the car, maintenance history, etc.
Take someone for a ride if they come out to see the car.
WILL NOT:
Drive the car out to so someone can see the car.
Let someone take over payments.
Take trades.
Pay to ship the car.
This car was my DD for the 10 months I owned it. The mileage was highway miles to and from work (20 mile commute). After that I bought my wife an 06 Lancer ES so I got my SUV back and thereafter the Evo became a garage queen being only driven on the occasional weekend. I am the original owner, nonsmoker. I have never even allowed food in the car. Because of that it still has that new car scent. I never got to track the car or even have the CPU flashed or tuned. Car sits on stock suspension, stock tires. I invite you to check out my post history and you will see no history of track use. Car has always been kept in my garage and had has been covered with a custom car cover the majority of its life. It has as mostly been used for weekend driving up to Big Bear or occasionally to Streets of Willow for the day to see some cars. Never got to run this Evo on SOW, always figured that new tires, pads, fluids, and track fees were a little out of my budget at the time, so I just sat in the bleachers and watched lol. Anyway, on to the pics
:mitsu:
-CI











































I have maintenance records and oil receipts.

I tried to take a date-stamped pic at the time of the oil change to match the receipt. That only lasted a couple of changes. Then I started buying oil and OEM Mitsubishi filters in bulk.

This is where the car is parked. In my garage under a custom made car cover. Truly a garage queen.



Thanks for looking...... O0
****Update****
Took the car in for 15K service at South Coast last weekend so I put some miles on it. Updated the mileage.

OK guys, I have been thinking a lot about this, and I know I said that the STi was a distant 2nd place over the EVO... Well I changed my mind...
I know I had some bad luck with my RS, and had some things go a little kooky with my 06TR, but I think if I get an 06/07 STi the quality factor issue will be minimized greatly. The STi has much higher quality parts, like the transmission for example. One of my biggest worries is always the damn tranny issues, and with an STi I wont have to worry about that crap anymore.
I still really want an EVO, but to be perfectly honest, I just don't really dig the body style (not talking about the new one) too much. For some reason it already looks very dated to me, whereas the 06/07 GD STi still looks fantastic to me. I also like the idea of a 2.5L engine, a 6speed that is virtually bulletproof, and not to mention all the little extras that the STi comes with.
I don't suppose any of you guys know of any local WRX STi's for sale? Car must have low miles! Someone's gotta know someone... Can you guys help me out? I'd really prefer white or black, but other colors are welcome too.
So you heard it from the horses mouth, I'm still a subaru fanboi, I just went through a very quick phase and was bitter about the crap I've had to deal with on my old Subie.
I'm still open to the idea of an EVO, but it would have to be an EVO 9 SE with low miles. I thought about the EVO X because I love the way they look, but I really can't afford a BRAND new car right now, and I don't think I'd want the first model year after they changed a bunch of stuff.
What do you guys think? Can you help a brother out?

This would be ideal, but the price is far too high for an 07 with 20k miles.
http://www.autotrader.com/fyc/vdp.js...7&rdpage=thumb
How much do you think I could talk these guys down to? You think I could swing it for around 25k? I mean its exactly what I want, but there's no way I'd dish out $30k for an 07 with 20k miles. Thoughts?

I honestly don't think you can steal it for 25 but I am not saying you shouldnt give it a shot. Stevens Creek has an "internet price" which is different from the sticker so I wouldn't be surprised if the sticker is like 33 or whatever. Anyways, who cares just go in and tell them your price if it doesn't work out then it doesn't work out. I don't know if you are interested, but theres alot of WRB's in your price range on craigslist a little bit over 20k miles but in your price range. You might in interested in these
