I know thers a few on here who have Evos. I might be going to see an Ix 360 tomorrow. Only thing putting me off is its on 66k but still has FSH. Would you stay clear of one wih that mileage?

It is up on mileage but if it has full specialist history, there's no problems. How old is it and how much is he asking?

Its a 4 door family saloon. Designed to take the kids to school in comfort then take it out at the weekend for a bit of fun.
At least at that mileage, you know its been used for what it was made for, and has the FSH to back it up.

As long as you have a specialist history and can snap that up for 11k, you have a bargain there mate.

Ok thanks for the help. Al ask who the history is with. Are the wheels optional extras or off something else? Am sure there was a option for wheels when buying.

They look like a 17" version of the Evo X wheel. Most IX FQ's came with Turini's as standard.

Low owners is a good thing surely.
If these cars are as expensive to run/maintain as made out, then with that mileage, and low owners, it gives the impression that it probably hasn't been scrimped on, and used like it was meant for.

Just asked for interior and a engine shot. Genuine 360s should have the 3 gauges on dash?

That decision will determine whether you drive out being a fag or a man
