newbie... looking for a cheap good evo. help?
newbie here. I have an 05 mazda 6 v6 and i am an active member of 2 mazda forums. ive been trying to get an evo since 2005 but i havent been able to do so financially. ive been trying to sell my 6 since october and im justselling it for someone to take over payments, as you know, this bring me great loss (money wise). mazda 6 is a nice car. my car is so clean and nice and got some mods and i dont understand why i havent been able to sell it. last night i went to a mitsu dealer in my area to see if i could trade in my 6 and get an evo. they were giving me **** for my 6 and giving me a high price on the evo. i saw 2 evos. an 04 rs for about 26k with 52k miles but i got them to go down to 20k. CEL was on and it had a wierd problem that the guy said was normal. looking from behind you could see more of the right tire than the left. i didnt believe it. then i decided not to get that car cuz of high mileage and... its an rs. then he took me to see a used 06 IX evo. had like 12k miles and was selling it for about 28k. ended up not buying anything because of high prices... keep in mind im 20 and married and going to the marines soon. the evo has been my obsession since i was in senior year high school. i can pay for one but i have no credit and it would have to be under my dad's credit.... so he has to be "pleased" with my buy. do you guys know of an evo (preferrably an 04 or newer) that is cheap, low miles, reliable and preferrably not an rs? Im in salt lake city, Utah, USA. please help me get one if you know of 1. thnx for your support. feel free to email me. saavedraboy15@hotmail.com

Hey... Sorry to bring you bad news but it is almost impossible to find an evo for anything lower than $18,000. You'd be lucky if you find it at that. Average prices for a used evo are $24,000 to 32,000.

yeah... i wasnt really looking for one for 18k, i was thinking a good, low-mileage evo within the 20k-24k range. again. maybe 04+. thank you for the help anyway. i just wanted to know if any one had seen one cuz ive looked on autotrader.com and also local listings and theyre too expensive and a lot of miles.

your ost likly not going to see EVOs much cheaper than $21k unless your lucky. I was really really lucky to get my price for the miles my car had. and that was only because I played the dealer

would you mind giving me some tips on "playing the dealer" there's this one i saw for 22,995. pretty clean. black 04 with 21k miles. intake and after marke BOV. the problem is that i owe 18k on my 6 and i know my car isnt gon sell for that much so whatever is left will carry over to the loan for the evo. making the loan bigger. ya kno? so its kinda hard. thats why im trying to get a cheap one so that its not that big of a loan. i heard that 03's are not as good as 04's... obviously im a noob so i wouldnt know why.

wow, that is a killer deal... are you onthe east coast? maybe cars are cheaper overthere... i did try telling them about the black evo that i saw but they couldnt care less. i thought these guys were really unprofessional. I know about some rules here that dont let you talk crap about a dealer or company so ill keep it to myself. i owe 18k on my mazda6. its got around 22,500 miles. v6, upgraded HID's, AEM intake, painted engine cover, super bright interior LED lights and lightweight black on chrome rims. car is silver. the dealer was giving me 11k on it. which is like 3k under what kellybluebook told me to sell it for.so i told them and they raised it to 14k. and i got them to get the rs evo down to 20k but like i said, i know there was something wrong with it, they were acting kinda shady about it. the CEL was on and they told me it was the after market exhaust. which i looked at and it look stock but ok. it did sound louder. but anyway..... i decided not to buy it. thank you so much for helpin a possible future evo owner. i just dont know why the mazda isnt selling.. its one of the hottest cars and best well kept. and im loosing the money from the downpayment, trade in and parts... about 4k... and im only asking to take the payments over... no gain... only loss. ya know? aaarrggh... just frustrated.

yea i was in Florida when I bought mine. Just so you know that Evo prob did have exhaust bucshurs exhaust looks stock its kinda ugly... if the car was loud it was not stock. and if the CEL was on it had no cat I bet anything there was nothing wrong with that car. The Evos are very well build only main problems are stock clutch and tires wear easily ect ect just read teh FAQs youll learn all about the car

i know a bit about the car... the thing i was saying about the bumper is ... think of it this way... when you replace a tire and you havent bolted it on... do you see how the tire sticks out? like on one side its too far into the car but on the other side its sticking out? its like the tire is turning left.... (theright tire) theleft one seems fine... i really dont know how to explain it. im thinkin this cas was in an accident. but thanx for telling me the evo is a well built car. thank you again.
