Hey everyone, I would like to gauge interest on my MR if anyone has any.. Reason for a possible sale is not because the the economy is hurting me or that I am going broke
rather, I would like to look into going a different route that isn't car related.
So to start, this baby is a 2005 Evo VIII MR edition. She's apex silver and has under 53000 on the odo -- I believe around 52,340, which is almost exact. The car has never been in an accident and I am the second owner, which I acquired the car at 51,000 miles from a guy in Illinois, who purchased the car brand new off the show room floor. Just ask for the VIN and I'll provide it. A couple note worthy thing to mention is the original owner was an older gentleman -- according to him the car has never been tracked which I'd believe, and in my possession it hasn't either. Since he drove it off the show room floor brand new he went to a local autozone and purchased rubber, all weather floormats, along with seat covers. The original MR floormats have only been used by me and still look 100% new, and the seats have only been uncovered since I purchased the car! Also noteworthy is that I purchased the car BONE STOCK -- you don't see that fairly often either.
Now on to what I've done since acquiring this beaut..
*Please note that all the work and parts have only been on the car for less than an oil change, maybe (at most) 1500 miles. All parts are NEW.
AMS 3" stainless turbo back with test pipe
AMS K & N cone filter with adapter
AMS lower intercooler pipe
Walbro 255 lph fuel pump
Yokohama S. Drive tires (mounted on the MR BBS rims)
The aforementioned parts were installed by myself.
Apexi Turbo Timer wired into the ignition giving read outs for O2, AFR, Battery voltage, and does work with the "3n1" function (autotimer) - this was installed professionally when the original owner owned the car; however, the adjustment knob is missing -- if you use a small flatblade screw driver or anything of that sort you can adjust the parameters/ display just fine.
The original owner also had the back three windows tinted as well as an eyebrow at about 20% (my best guess).
New OEM Clutch and Throwout Bearing with fly wheel resurfaced at a local machine shop
Transmission overhaul/ rebuilt due to 6th gear hesitation (mitsubishi pulled and overhauled the entire transmission).
ACD, Transmission, T-Case serviced
4 NEW Brembo brake calipers, rotors, and pads (two front calipers had fading).
The stock wing was replaced and professionally clear coated under warranty at Kirkwood Mitsu (I believe) prior to being purchased by me (done via original owner).
More about the car: Outside of the parts I've mentioned, everything else is bonestock. The car has never seen boost levels outside of the stock levels controlled by its untuned, untouched ECU. This car has NOT been molested!
The car is essentially brand new at this point, aside the motor; however, you all know the reliability of the good ol' 4g63!
The GOOD:
60k bumper to bumper is still good! 10 year 100k powertrain is good till feb. 2015!! The motor is still sealed, has been broken apart. The car's interior is in mint condition. The oil has always been Mobil 1 5w30 until I bought the car, and use Royal Purple 5w30. This car runs flawlessly, the A/C blows cold, the stereo works great! All lights and HID works great with no electrical issues of any kind. This car performs and runs as if it is in immaculate condition, and you can really tell the original owner took very good care of this vehicle, as I have; however, I've only owned it for a short period of time
The BAD: The usual exterior blemishes with a 4 year old car with 50,000 miles. A few rock chips on the hood and front bumper, one slight inch and a quarter scratch from where the front license plate bracket was removed via the original owner. Slight curb rash on the MR rims from the original owner; however, really not bad/ noticable. I am VERY picky about my cars and this "curb rash" didn't bother me at all.
Other then that she's all good!
Okay sorry about the novella, but that's about it.
If you would like the VIN and/ or pics please PM me and I'll provide them upon request!
As far as offers, you make them. If I get an offer I like I'll sell, so make some! I'll accept payment via certified bank check (you won't get the car until it clears so allow time) or by wire transfer (you pay your bank's fee) which usually takes about a half an hour for your bank to send the funds, the FEDs to approve, and my bank to receive. So you can pick up with me -- I'm in Columbia, MO. or we can arrange shipping at your cost.
Thanks for your time!
