Looking at a Evo - need suggestions

[scheides]

Yup yup, check the thing all over for signs of rust or being off-roaded, any crazy build-up underneath would be cause for concern. Check the exhaust for big dents and stuff. See if hte wheels have curb rash, check the FMIC for dents and stuff. Check the body over and make sure it's uber clean, no dents or anything.

Other than the basic stuff, just drive the car. If the clutch engages smoothly, power delivery is smooth, shifts fine, cruises fine, and brakes fine, you're probably in business. After some mild driving, give it some WOT pulls and heavy braking slams. Don't BEAT on the car as it's not yours yet, but just enough to test it and make sure it's gonna perform like you want it to.

Lastly, bring a friend. When hughes got his IX, I went with him. We went on a road trip and we looked the car over super super good, logged it, etc before making the commitment. two sets of eyes is better than one!
